the first ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, absolute state; used substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רִאשׁוֹן derives from the root meaning "head" or "beginning," denoting what is first or foremost. The masculine plural absolute form רִאשֹׁנִים is therefore rendered "the first ones," preserving both plurality and its substantive adjectival force. |
