to estranged ones

Rootזור (z-w-r)
Core Meaningsto turn aside, to deviate, to be estranged, to be foreign, to be alien
Semantic Rangeforeigners, outsiders, non-Israelites, unauthorized persons, those estranged from covenant, strange or profane things
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, זָרִים often denotes those outside covenant relationship or unauthorized persons in sacred contexts. The term highlights boundaries between the holy and the profane, the covenant community and those estranged from it.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine plural adjective זָרִים functioning substantively; absolute state; no article.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective זָרִים is masculine plural, derived from the root זור meaning "to turn aside" or "to be estranged/foreign." The prefixed לְ means "to" or "for," so the phrase literally means "to estranged ones," preserving both the root sense of estrangement and the masculine plural form.
