SIBI-P1 H1616-03
sojourners
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state; from the singular גֵּר (gêr). No pronominal suffix; denotes a group of male or mixed-gender sojourners. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֵּר derives from the root גור, "to sojourn" or "to reside temporarily." The form גֵרִים is masculine plural absolute (HNcmpa), so the rendering "sojourners" preserves both the root idea of temporary residence and the masculine plural number of the Hebrew form. |
