deep ones

Root	עמק (ʿ-m-q)
Core Meanings	depth, profundity, lowness, that which is deep or inaccessible
Semantic Range	physically deep (waters, pits, valleys), figuratively profound (thoughts, counsels), hidden or unfathomable things
Conceptual Significance	Depth in biblical thought often signifies mystery, danger, or profound wisdom—whether the deep waters of chaos or the deep counsels of the heart—highlighting the contrast between what is hidden in depth and what is revealed by YHWH.
Morphological Notes	Adjective, masculine plural absolute (from עָמֹק). Functions either attributively with a masculine plural noun or substantively as a plural descriptor ("deep ones").
Rendering Rationale	The form עֲמֻקִּים is a masculine plural adjective from the root עמק, "to be deep." Rendering it as "deep ones" preserves the plural masculine form while retaining the root sense of depth or profundity; in context it may refer to deep places, matters, or realities understood as masculine plural entities.
