and thick-minded ones
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + adjective/noun, masculine plural absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun/adjective כְּסִיל derives from a root meaning "to be thick/fat," extended metaphorically to intellectual or moral dullness. The masculine plural absolute form with prefixed conjunction is preserved as "and thick-minded ones," retaining both the root imagery and plural morphology. |
