SIBI-P1 Translation H2710-07
the inscribing ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural denotes those actively performing the root action. Rendering it as "the inscribing ones" preserves the concrete engraving sense of חקק while allowing its extended authoritative nuance without reducing it to a contextual role like "governors." |

those who decree
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'the inscribing ones' is awkward in English and contextually refers to lawmakers or those who issue decrees. Rendering adjusted to 'those who decree' for clearer context fit as supported by lexicon and prophecy context. |
