to the knowing ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed ל preposition ("to/for"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural יֹדְעִים denotes those who are characterized by knowing or perceiving. The prefixed ל marks direction or relation, yielding "to the knowing ones" while preserving both the participial force and plural masculine form. |
