SIBI-P1 H5971-17

kin-peoples

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsto associate, to bind together, kinship, communal grouping, collective unity
Semantic Rangepeoples, nations, ethnic groups, tribes, clans, assembled communities, troops or collective bodies
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, עַם often denotes a covenantal or kinship-based community, especially Israel as a people bound to YHWH. In the plural, it frequently contrasts Israel with the surrounding nations, highlighting themes of election, identity, and the gathering or judgment of the nations.
Morphological NotesMasculine common plural absolute noun from עַם (ʻam). The form עַמִּים shows the characteristic masculine plural ending -ים. No pronominal suffix is attached.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַמִּים is masculine plural absolute, so the rendering reflects a plural group (“-peoples”). By using “kin-peoples,” the translation preserves the root sense of those bound together in shared association or kinship, rather than a generic political term alone.
