and in company with them
| Root | עמם (ʿ-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | association, companionship, togetherness, closeness |
| Semantic Range | with, together with, in association with, alongside, in the company of, against (in hostile association), among |
| Conceptual Significance | עִם expresses relational proximity—standing, acting, or dwelling in company with others. In biblical theology, being "with" someone often signals covenant solidarity, shared fate, or divine presence accompanying a people. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition עִם ("with, in association with") + pronominal suffix 3mp (-הֶם, "them," masculine plural). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עִם conveys close association or companionship. With the prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”) and the 3rd person masculine plural suffix -הֶם (“them”), the phrase literally expresses being in close company with them; the rendering preserves both the associative sense of the root and the masculine plural object. |
