the one dwelling

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular (absolute/construct forms attested). Functions verbally or substantivally to describe one characterized by dwelling or sitting.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting an ongoing or characteristic action: "one who sits/dwells." Rendering it as "the one dwelling" preserves the durative participial sense and reflects the masculine singular morphology while keeping the core idea of settled presence inherent in the root.
