SIBI-P1 H376-49

and men

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute (Ncmpa), often with prefixed waw consecutive (HC) or preposition bet (HR); lemma אִישׁ (ʾîysh), Strong's H376.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine plural noun (Ncmpa) with a prefixed conjunction (HC/HR), consistently rendered as 'and men' or 'in men' to preserve the collective sense of adult males or persons; this maintains grammatical gender (masculine), number (plural), and lacks pronominal suffixes or stem variations requiring adjustment. It reflects the root's core meaning of 'man as an individual or male' without diluting its adjunctive use in context.
