those causing to lodge
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), active participle, masculine plural, absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root "to lodge/spend the night," and the active participle masculine plural denotes ongoing agents. Thus the form means "those causing to lodge," preserving both the causative force and the plural participial morphology. |
