SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-46
bearing-ones of
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural construct denotes "those who are lifting/bearing" in an active, ongoing sense. "Bearing-ones of" preserves the participial force, masculine plural form, and construct relationship while keeping the core root idea of lifting/carrying. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
lifting-ones of
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | Standardized from "bearing-ones of". The underlying Hebrew participle (נושאי) is the standard form rendered as “lifting-ones of.” The current “bearing-ones of” is a synonymous wording, not required by the context, so for consistency the standard rendering should be used here. |
