and ruling-princes of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun common masculine plural construct (Ncmpc) from שַׂר. The construct state requires a following genitive ("of ..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׂר derives from the root שרר, conveying rule or dominion. The form is masculine plural construct with prefixed conjunction, so "ruling-princes of" preserves the plural masculine sense and the governing relationship indicated by the construct, while "and" reflects the prefixed וְ. |
