Conceptual Significanceאֶל expresses relational movement—physical, verbal, or covenantal—toward persons. In biblical theology it often marks divine address or human response directed toward others, highlighting orientation, intentionality, and relational engagement.
Morphological NotesPreposition אֶל (H413) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; HR/Sp3mp = Hebrew preposition + suffix pronoun 3mp.
Rendering RationaleThe preposition אֶל fundamentally denotes movement or direction toward a person or place. With the 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הֶם), the form means "unto them," preserving both the directional force of the root and the masculine plural referent.
