In contexts relating to exile or captivity, refers to being removed or 'stripped' from one's land, often with the sense of exposure or shame. The semantic range encompasses physical stripping or uncovering, the act of disclosing or revealing, and the removal or deportation of people (especially in times of conquest).

the deported ones
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hophal (causative passive) participle, masculine plural absolute with definite article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hophal participle expresses a causative passive sense—those who have been caused to be removed or exiled. "The deported ones" preserves the root idea of forced removal/uncovering and reflects the masculine plural passive participle with the definite article. |
