Morphological NotesHR/Ncmpc: Hebrew noun, common (masculine), plural, construct state, consistently across all four occurrences, prefixed with בְּ preposition.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine plural construct (Ncmpc) with preposition בְּ ('in/of'), commonly rendered 'of men' to preserve the collective masculine sense of human males or individuals in a genitival relationship; this reflects the morphology by using masculine plural 'men' rather than gender-neutral terms. It maintains the root's core idea of 'man as individual or male' without introducing extraneous connotations.
