returning ones
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural denotes those who are in the act or state of returning or turning back. "Returning ones" preserves the intransitive, active sense of the root שׁוב and reflects the masculine plural participial form. |
