SIBI-P1 Translation H6185-02
stripped-of-sons men
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of being stripped or laid bare (ערר) and applies it to the familial sphere, indicating men rendered bare of offspring. The masculine plural adjective is preserved by specifying "men" and keeping the plural sense. |
