upon them

Morphological NotesPreposition עַל (H5921) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix; parsed HR/Sp3mp. The vowel changes reflect the preposition in construct with the suffix (עֲלֵיהֶם / אֲלֵיהֶם in some orthographic variations).
Rendering RationaleThe form combines the preposition עַל (ʿal, "upon/over/against," carrying a sense of being above or resting upon) with a 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הֶם, "them"). "Upon them" preserves both the spatial-over sense of the root and the masculine plural object indicated by the suffix.
