and terror-wielding oppressors
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective (used substantivally), absolute state, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine form עָרִיצִים denotes those characterized by causing terror through force or dominance. "Terror-wielding oppressors" preserves the root idea of inducing fear by power while reflecting the masculine plural morphology and the prefixed conjunction "and." |
