the gathered peoples
| Root | עם (ʿ-m) |
| Core Meanings | people, kin-group, tribe, gathered community, clan |
| Semantic Range | peoples, nations, tribes, ethnic groups, assembled communities, collective populations |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses the idea of a people as a bound, covenantal, or ethnic community. In biblical usage it often distinguishes particular nations or covenant groups, highlighting identity, solidarity, and collective belonging among the nations or tribes. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, masculine plural, emphatic (determined) state; corresponds to Hebrew עַם. The emphatic ending -ַיָּא marks definiteness ("the"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic noun is masculine plural in the emphatic (definite) state, indicating "the peoples." Rendering it as "the gathered peoples" preserves the root sense of a kin-group bound together as a community, while accurately reflecting the masculine plural definite morphology. |
