and writing ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ (and). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural denotes those who are actively engaged in writing. Rendering it as "writing ones" preserves the verbal-adjectival force of the participle and maintains the masculine plural form, with the prefixed conjunction reflected as "and." |
