upon you men

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsheight, elevation, overness, upon, against, concerning
Semantic Rangeupon, over, against, concerning, toward, because of, in relation to, in authority over
Conceptual SignificanceThis term often marks direction, responsibility, authority, or impact directed toward a group of men. In covenantal and prophetic contexts, it signals divine action, blessing, judgment, or instruction coming upon the addressed community.
Morphological NotesPreposition עַל with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-כֶם). Functions adverbially or prepositionally with the sense "upon/over/against you (mp)."
Rendering RationaleThe form combines the preposition עַל ("upon, over, against") with a 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("you men"). "Upon" preserves the root’s core sense of elevation or direction toward/over, while "you men" reflects the masculine plural addressees required by the morphology.
