Rootעם (ʿ-m)
Core Meaningspeople, kin-group, clan, community, nation
Semantic Rangetribes, ethnic groups, nations, clans, political communities, subjects of a ruler, collective social bodies
Conceptual Significanceעַם highlights covenantal and ethnic identity in the Hebrew Bible, often distinguishing Israel as a distinct people among the "peoples" of the nations. In plural form it frequently emphasizes the multiplicity of surrounding nations in contrast to YHWH’s chosen community.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct state from עַם (ʿam). The construct form עַמֵּי indicates possession or close association with a following noun ("peoples of …").
Rendering RationaleThe form עַמֵּי is masculine plural construct (HNcmpc), meaning "peoples of" in relation to what follows. Rendering it as "peoples of" preserves both the plural sense (multiple distinct kin-groups or nations) and the construct relationship, while reflecting the root idea of a gathered community bound by shared identity.
