SIBI-P1 H1471-16
the massed nations
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); from singular גּוֹי (gôy). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גּוֹי derives from a root associated with a massed or gathered body, highlighting a collective entity rather than merely a political state. The form הַגּוֹיִם is masculine plural with the definite article ("the"), so "the massed nations" preserves both the definite article and the masculine plural collective sense inherent in the term. |
