towards us

Rootאל (ʾ-l)
Core Meaningsmotion towards, direction to, nearness, proximity
Semantic Rangemotion towards, to, unto, into, against, near, with, among, concerning, for, over, under, upon; contextually denotes direction, relation, or position.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition, אֵל signifies relational directionality central to covenantal encounters (e.g., 'to the Lord'), prayer orientation, and divine-human proximity; in phrases like 'to us,' it underscores communal address in prophetic calls or liturgical contexts such as Aleinu, emphasizing collective responsibility and universal turning to God.
Morphological NotesHR (preposition) with Sp1cp (1st person common plural pronominal suffix); appears in construct form אֵלֵי/נוּ with directional emphasis (yod suffix).
Rendering Rationale'Towards us' preserves the core directional sense of אֵל as motion or orientation 'to/towards' while incorporating the 1cp pronominal suffix -נוּ ('us'), reflecting the first person common plural morphology HR/Sp1cp; it maintains the preposition's non-verbal nature without imposing gender or stem-based modifications as this is not a conjugated verb.
