SIBI-P1 H3427-143

her dwelling-men

Morphological NotesQal active participle masculine plural construct (יֹשְׁבֵי) + 3fs pronominal suffix (הָ). Denotes masculine plural "dwellers of" a feminine singular referent (e.g., city, land).
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine plural in construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, literally "the ones dwelling of her." Rendering it "her dwelling-men" preserves the participial sense of ongoing dwelling from the root ישב (to sit, dwell) and reflects the masculine plural form along with the feminine singular possessive suffix "her."
