upon me

Rootעלל (ʿ-l-l)
Core Meaningsupon, over, above, against
Semantic Rangeabove, over, upon, against, according to, after, among, at, because of, beside, between, by, concerning, from, in, on, over, than, through, to, touching, with; often with downward implication.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition, it conveys relational positioning central to covenant dynamics, divine oversight ('upon' Israel), judgment ('against' sin), and hierarchy in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesHR/Sp1cs: Hiphil (causative) stem perfect verb, 1st person common singular with pronominal suffix, used prepositionally.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Hiphil perfect 1cs of עלל, functioning as a prepositional construction with 1cs suffix, literally 'upon-me'; 'upon me' preserves the core spatial/relational sense of 'above, over, against' with downward aspect while exactly reflecting the 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. This rendering maintains grammatical person and number without anglicizing gender where English prepositions are neutral.
