the dead ones

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the root מות (to die).
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal masculine plural active participle with the definite article, literally "the ones who are dead" or "the ones having died." Rendering it as "the dead ones" preserves the participial sense derived from the root מות (to die) and reflects the masculine plural definite form indicated by the morphology.
