your mighty ones

Rootאלה (ʾ-l-h)
Core Meaningspower, might, strength, supremacy, divine authority
Semantic RangeSupreme God (esp. with article or context); gods (pagan deities); judges/magistrates; angels; superlative of greatness/might.
Conceptual SignificanceEloheykhem emphasizes Yahweh's covenantal relationship as the powerful, supreme deity belonging to the masculine plural audience (often Israel), underscoring His might as Creator, Judge, and refuge in contrast to impotent idols; the plural form evokes majesty and possibly hints at divine complexity, central to monotheistic theology.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp2mp: Noun, common gender, masculine form, plural, construct state + 2nd person masculine plural suffix; plural of אֱלוֹהַּ (ʼĕlôaḥ) denoting gods or the supreme God.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core semantic field of strength and power inherent in the root אלה, avoiding generic 'God' to highlight the plural form's majestic emphasis on divine might; it reflects the morphology as a masculine noun construct plural (Ncmpc) with 2nd person masculine plural suffix (Sp2mp), using masculine plural 'mighty ones' and 'your' for the 2mp pronominal possession.
