Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/among") + noun עַם (common masculine singular) in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix, yielding "my people." The noun is singular in form but collective in sense.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a gathered kin-group or covenant community. The form is masculine singular with a 1st person common singular suffix ("my people") and is prefixed by the preposition בְּ, here rendered "among," preserving both the collective sense of the root and the personal possessive relationship expressed in the morphology.
