unto him

Rootאל (ʾ-l)
Core Meaningsmotion toward, direction, orientation, nearness
Semantic Rangeto, toward, unto, against, concerning, with reference to, in relation to, near
Conceptual SignificanceThis term expresses relational and directional movement toward a person—often toward YHWH or another key figure—highlighting covenantal approach, appeal, hostility, or allegiance depending on context. It frames biblical faith as oriented movement toward another.
Morphological NotesPreposition אֶל (HR = Hebrew preposition) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (Sp3ms), yielding the form אֵלָיו (ʾēlāyw), "unto him."
Rendering RationaleThe preposition אֶל fundamentally denotes motion or orientation toward a person or place. Rendering it as "unto" preserves this directional nuance rather than a static "to." The 3ms pronominal suffix (-ו) is reflected in "him," accurately conveying masculine singular reference.
