Conceptual Significanceעַל expresses relational positioning—physical, social, or covenantal—often indicating authority, responsibility, burden, or judgment resting "upon" someone. Its frequent use underscores hierarchical and covenantal structures in the biblical worldview, where actions, blessings, or judgments come "upon" individuals or groups.
Morphological NotesConjunction וַ + preposition עַל (ʿal) + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix הֶם; functions as a prepositional phrase meaning "upon/over them."
Rendering RationaleThe preposition עַל conveys the idea of being over, above, or upon something, often with a downward or superior orientation. The prefixed conjunction וַ means "and," and the 3rd person masculine plural suffix -הֶם specifies "them," yielding the grammatically precise rendering "and upon them."
