your gathered-people

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningskinship, peoplehood, communal grouping, association, gathered community
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, tribe, kin-group, populace, subjects, troops, attendants, flock (figurative collective)
Conceptual Significanceעַם is a central covenant term in the Hebrew Scriptures, often expressing belonging and relational identity between יהוה and Israel ("My people") or between a leader and those under his care. It conveys not merely population but shared identity, loyalty, and covenantal solidarity.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct (עַם) with a 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-ךָ), literally "people of you." Though grammatically singular, it functions as a collective noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a united kin-group or community bound together as one body. Rendering it "gathered-people" preserves the root sense of a collectively associated group, while "your" accurately reflects the second masculine singular pronominal suffix in construct form.
