SIBI-P1 Translation H5288-08
to the youths
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לַ (to/for the) + noun, common masculine plural absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נַעַר denotes a young male characterized by youthful energy, derived from the root meaning "to shake, stir, rouse." The masculine plural form with prefixed לַ ("to/for the") is preserved as "to the youths," maintaining both number and definiteness. |
