SIBI-P1 H413-01

unto them

Rootאל (ʾ-l)
Core Meaningsmotion towards, direction to, nearness, approach
Semantic RangePrimary: motion towards, to, unto; extended: near, with, among, against, over, concerning, for, in, at, through, under, upon, whether
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition (H413, ~139 occurrences in this form), it conveys relational directionality central to covenantal language, divine approach to humanity (e.g., God's word 'unto' Israel), and human response 'toward' God, emphasizing proximity in blessing, command, and prophecy.
Morphological NotesHR/Sp3mp: Hebrew preposition (HR) in construct form with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (Sp3mp); surfaces show vocalization אֲלֵהֶם with maqqef or accents.
Rendering Rationale'Unto them' preserves the core directional sense of the root אל ('to, toward') while exactly matching the morphology as a preposition with 3mp pronominal suffix, indicating 'to/toward them' (masculine plural); it avoids modern glosses like 'to' to retain archaic biblical tone and semantic nuance of motion or relation. The shortened construct form אֶל with hem-suffix is faithfully rendered without adding interpretive layers.
