the heads
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with definite article (ה + רָאשִׁים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural absolute form with definite article (הָרָאשִׁים) denotes multiple instances of רֹאשׁ. "The heads" preserves the core spatial meaning while naturally allowing for extended senses such as chief or foremost ones, without importing specific context. |
