SIBI-P1 Translation H6918-09
set-apart ones of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state from קָדוֹשׁ (holy, set apart). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural construct form denotes multiple entities characterized by being set apart or consecrated. Rendering it as "set-apart ones of" preserves both the root idea of separation for sacred purpose and the construct state requiring a following genitive. |
