my young men
A young man, especially one in the prime of physical vigor and youth; often used collectively for a group of young men or warriors. The term may connote those who are physically strong, age-appropriate for military service, or in the stage of life marked by unmarried status. While the underlying sense is of being chosen or selected, in the majority of contexts it simply refers to the age-group of young men rather than implying elite or specifically chosen status.

SIBI-P1 Translation H970-02
my young men
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 1st person common singular pronominal suffix; from passive participle of בחר. |
| Rendering Rationale | Though derived from the passive participle "chosen," the form בָּחוּר primarily denotes vigorous young men as an age group. The masculine plural construct with a 1st person singular suffix yields "my young men." |
