SIBI-P1 Translation H7563-20
and lawbreakers
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + adjective/noun, masculine plural absolute from רָשָׁע. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the masculine plural absolute form רְשָׁעִים with the prefixed conjunction וּ (“and”), denoting multiple male persons characterized by violating law or acting wickedly. “Lawbreakers” preserves the active sense of those who practice wrongdoing inherent in the root רשׁע. |
