among the guarantors
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed בַּ ("in/among the"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural denotes "those who guarantee" or "surety-ones." The prefixed בַּ indicates "in/among the," yielding "among the guarantors" as a concise rendering that preserves both the participial force and plural masculine form. |
