needy ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural adjective, absolute state, from אֶבְיוֹן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the root meaning "to desire, to want," expressing a state of lacking what is necessary. The masculine plural adjective is rendered "needy ones" to preserve both the sense of deprivation and the plural masculine morphology. |
