wandering ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural denotes those who are actively engaging in restless movement. "Wandering ones" preserves the verbal, ongoing sense of unsettled motion inherent in the root נדד while reflecting masculine plural morphology. |
