SIBI-P1 H6696-01
the besiegers
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally: "the ones besieging." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal masculine plural active participle with the definite article, denoting "the ones who are besieging." Rendering it as "the besiegers" preserves the active sense of the Qal stem and reflects the masculine plural form while conveying the root idea of pressing in or confining. |
