the appointed ones
| Morphological Notes | Niphal participle, masculine plural absolute with definite article; passive/reflexive verbal adjective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal participle masculine plural denotes those who have been appointed or designated. "The appointed ones" preserves the passive/reflexive force of the Niphal stem and the plural masculine form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
who were appointed
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'the appointed ones' lacks the participial phrase functioning as a relative clause; 'who were appointed' reflects the sense of the Hebrew participle describing those gathered. |
