SIBI-P1 `H8334-10`

his ministering attendants

Root	שרת (sh-r-t)
Core Meanings	to attend, to minister, to serve in an assisting role, to wait upon
Semantic Range	to serve in a royal court, to minister in worship, to attend upon a superior, to assist in sacred or official duties
Conceptual Significance	This term often describes those who serve in the presence of a king or in the sanctuary before יהוה, highlighting ordered service, delegated authority, and devoted attendance in both royal and sacred spheres.
Morphological Notes	Piel active participle masculine plural construct (מְשָׁרְתֵי) with 3ms suffix (-ו): "his." Functions substantivally: "those who are ministering."
Rendering Rationale	The form is a Piel active participle masculine plural in construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix, literally "those ministering of him." "His ministering attendants" preserves the active, ongoing sense of the participle and reflects the masculine plural with the possessive "his."
