dwellers of

Morphological NotesQal participle, masculine plural, construct form (יֹשְׁבֵי). Functions substantivally: "those who are dwelling (of …)." The construct form links it directly to a following noun (e.g., "dwellers of the land").
Rendering RationaleThis form is a Qal masculine plural participle in construct, literally "the ones dwelling of." Rendering it "dwellers of" preserves the participial sense (ongoing state of dwelling) and the masculine plural number, while reflecting the root idea of sitting or settling in a place.
