SIBI-P1 `H6466-04`

to the doers-of

Root	פעל (p-ʿ-l)
Core Meanings	doing, working, acting, producing, accomplishing
Semantic Range	to do, to work, to act, to accomplish, to produce; as a participle: worker, doer, maker, performer (often of deeds, whether righteous or wicked)
Conceptual Significance	The root פעל emphasizes deliberate and often sustained action. In biblical theology it frequently contrasts human deeds with the works of יהוה, highlighting responsibility, accountability, and the moral weight of one’s actions.
Morphological Notes	Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state (Vqrmpc) with prefixed לְ preposition. From the root פעל. Functions substantivally: “workers/doers of …”
Rendering Rationale	The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural in construct with the prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”), yielding “to the doers-of.” The participle conveys ongoing or characteristic action (“those who work/do”), and the masculine plural is preserved with “doers.” The construct state is reflected by the trailing “-of,” indicating it governs a following noun.
