SIBI-P1
with him
| Root | עם (ʿ-m) |
| Core Meanings | companionship, association, nearness, being alongside |
| Semantic Range | with, in company with, alongside, together with, in association with, sometimes against or in opposition depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | The term expresses relational proximity and shared presence, often highlighting covenantal nearness, divine accompaniment, or interpersonal solidarity. In biblical theology, being “with” someone—especially when used of YHWH with a person—signals favor, support, and active presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition עִם (HR) with 3rd person masculine singular suffix (Sp3ms), yielding עִמּוֹ; literally “with him.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עִמּוֹ consists of the preposition עִם (“with, in company with”) plus the 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix -וֹ (“him”). The rendering "with him" preserves both the relational sense of companionship inherent in the root עם and the masculine singular suffix indicated in the morphology. |
