SIBI-P1 Translation H5971-30
like peoples of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural construct (עַמֵּי) with prefixed preposition כְּ ("like/as"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַם derives from the root meaning "to gather/associate," denoting a collective body. Here it is masculine plural in construct (עַמֵּי) with the prefixed preposition כְּ ("like"), yielding "like peoples of," preserving both plurality and construct linkage. |
