and a bound-together people

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsassociation, togetherness, binding together, kinship group, collective unity
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, kin-group, tribe, populace, subjects, troops, community bound by shared ancestry or covenant
Conceptual Significanceעַם is a foundational covenant term in the Hebrew Bible, especially in the expression “my people,” marking Israel as a bound-together covenant community under יהוה. It conveys not just ethnicity or nationality but relational belonging and shared identity under divine kingship.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to a common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct). No pronominal suffix. The singular form denotes a collective entity.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם is masculine singular (absolute or construct) with a prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). Rendering it as “a bound-together people” reflects the singular collective sense and preserves the root idea of a group bound together in kinship or shared identity, rather than a mere crowd of individuals.
