SIBI-P1 H5954-01
upon/over
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew preposition (HR); indeclinable particle frequently prefixed to nouns with maqqef or inseparable prepositional form. It governs objects in various syntactic relationships and may combine with pronominal suffixes in other forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עַל fundamentally conveys the idea of elevation or superposition—something being upon, over, or positioned above another. Rendering it as "upon/over" preserves this core spatial concept while allowing for its extended metaphorical uses (authority, burden, opposition). As an invariant preposition (HR), it does not reflect gender, number, or person, so the rendering remains grammatically neutral. |
