toward them

Rootאל (ʾ-l)
Core Meaningsmotion toward, direction, approach, relation, nearness
Semantic Rangeto, toward, unto, into, against, concerning, with regard to, near to, in relation to
Conceptual SignificanceThis directional particle is central to expressing relational movement—whether physical approach, speech directed to someone, or orientation of heart and action. It often frames covenantal encounters, prayer directed toward יהוה, and prophetic speech directed toward the people.
Morphological NotesPreposition אֶל (shortened construct form of אֵל) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix -הֶם; functions adverbially or prepositionally to mark direction or relation toward a masculine plural referent.
Rendering RationaleThe preposition אֶל expresses motion or direction toward a person or place. The attached suffix -הֶם marks third person masculine plural, yielding "toward them," preserving both the directional force of the root and the masculine plural object.
