to the gathered people

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with definite article (assimilated to לָ) + noun common masculine singular absolute (עָם). The article marks specificity: "the people."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a united, associated body—a people bound together as one community. The form לָעָם consists of the preposition לָ ("to") with the definite article assimilated, plus a masculine singular noun in the absolute state, hence "to the gathered people."
