SIBI-P1 H5707-07

witness-bearers

Morphological NotesCommon masculine noun, plural absolute (עֵדִים); from the singular עֵד (ʿêd), "witness." No suffix; masculine plural form indicated by ִים ending.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵד derives from the root עוד, which conveys the act of bearing witness or giving testimony. Rendering it as "witness-bearers" preserves the active, attesting sense of the root while accurately reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa).
