SIBI-P1 Translation H352-16
the mighty rams
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine plural absolute with definite article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל derives from the root אול (“to be strong, mighty”) and concretely denotes a ram, an animal emblematic of strength. The masculine plural absolute with definite article (הָאֵילִים) is rendered "the mighty rams," preserving both plurality and the root idea of strength. |
