offending ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective used substantivally, absolute state; intensive noun formation from the root חטא indicating characteristic or habitual action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form denotes masculine plural persons characterized by committing offenses, reflecting the intensive/habitual sense of the noun derived from חטא. "Offending ones" preserves the active, identity-defining force of those who miss the mark or transgress. |
