SIBI-P1 H3548-12

his officiating priests

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct form (כֹּהֲנֵי) with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (־ו), yielding "his priests."
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal root כהן, "to officiate" or "to serve as priest." Rendering it as "officiating priests" preserves the active, ministerial sense embedded in the root rather than treating it as a mere title. The masculine plural construct form with a 3ms suffix is reflected in "priests" (masculine plural) and "his" (third person masculine singular).
