SIBI-P1 Translation H6822-12
your watching-ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state + 2nd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural construct form denotes "the watching ones of" and the 2nd feminine singular suffix adds "your" (addressing a female). "Watching-ones" preserves the participial, root-based sense of vigilant observers. |
