my kin-people

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsgathering, kinship group, community, peoplehood
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, tribal group, kinsfolk, community, subjects, troops, attendants
Conceptual SignificanceFrequently used in covenantal contexts to express belonging and relational identity between יהוה and Israel ("I will be your Elohim, and you shall be my people"). It conveys not merely ethnicity but covenant membership and shared communal identity under divine kingship.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun עַם in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix ("-י"), yielding "my people." Though singular in form, it is a collective noun referring to a group.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a gathered kinship community or people as a unified body. The form עַמִּי is masculine singular construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, meaning "my," so "my kin-people" preserves both the collective sense of a gathered community and the personal possessive relationship expressed in the morphology.
