SIBI-P1 Translation H5387-14
and exalted leaders of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + masculine plural noun in construct state (common noun, mpl construct). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to lift/exalt," denoting those who are lifted up in status—leaders. The masculine plural construct form requires a plural rendering and the relational sense "of," with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
