upon / over

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningselevation, height, overness, upward position, uponness
Semantic Rangeupon, over, above, against (with downward force), concerning, because of, in addition to, beyond, according to
Conceptual Significanceעַל expresses relational positioning—spatially (above/upon), metaphorically (authority over), or causally (because of). It frequently marks covenantal responsibility, divine authority over creation, and actions directed against or upon someone, shaping key theological expressions of sovereignty and accountability.
Morphological NotesHebrew preposition (HR); invariable form with no gender, number, or person; may take pronominal suffixes in other forms.
Rendering RationaleThe preposition עַל conveys the spatial idea of something being elevated over or positioned upon another. Rendering it as "upon / over" preserves its core sense of upward relation or superposition, while fitting its function here as an uninflected Hebrew preposition (HR).
