SIBI-P1 Translation H3064-09
the Judahites
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction + definite article + masculine plural absolute noun (gentilic). |
| Rendering Rationale | "Judahites" preserves the gentilic sense of יְהוּדִי as those belonging to or descended from Judah, maintaining the link to the name Judah (from the root ידה, "to praise"). The masculine plural form is reflected in the plural English noun, and the definite article is preserved as "the." |
