B-Hebrew: The Biblical Hebrew Forum

In Neh. 3:15, I understand that היורדות is a Qal active participle, and that it modifies הַֽמַּעֲל֔וֹת.

I also understand that Hebrew participles have the following properties:

Gender: (masculine or feminine)
Number: (singular or plural)
Definiteness: (article or no article)
Voice: (active or passive)

And I think הַֽמַּעֲל֔וֹת is feminine?

So would היורדות be masculine or feminine, singular or plural, active or passive?

Yes, feminine plural common noun.

Qal active participle, feminine plural absolute, from the root ירד
