פולין   n.m.pl.  messengers


  pl. : messengers, representatives  LJLA.  PJ Ex9:7 : ושדר פרעה פולין למיחמי והא לא מית מבעירא דבני ישראל עד חד.  PJ Num16:12 : ושדר משה פולין לזמנא לבי דינא רבא.

Apparently simply the Hebrew participial form: "scrutinizers" (=Aramaic ply #2 vb.); only in Targum Pseudo-Jonathan. We guess that once used in the first passage as "investigators", the writer continued with it simply as "messengers" or "representatives".
