the poor
Describes a person who is in a state of affliction, distress, or hardship—socially, economically, or emotionally. Refers to one who is poor, oppressed, or experiencing suffering and deprivation. In some contexts, designates those marginalized or lacking power and resources. The semantic range covers both physical need (poverty, material deprivation) and experiential suffering (afflicted, downtrodden), and can also, but less commonly, refer to humility as a result of hardship, rather than personal virtue.

afflicted ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural absolute form of עָנִי. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective עָנִי denotes a person brought low or bowed down by hardship. The masculine plural form עניים is rendered "afflicted ones" to preserve both the root sense of being oppressed/bowed down and the plural masculine morphology. |
