a kin-group

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsto associate, be united, bind together, be in close kinship
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, kinsfolk, tribal group, ethnic community, subjects, troops
Conceptual Significanceעַם denotes a covenantally or ethnically bound community, especially Israel as a people united under YHWH. It expresses identity rooted in shared ancestry, allegiance, and divine relationship rather than merely political structure.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (absolute or construct forms attested). Functions as a collective singular referring to a unified social body.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine singular (absolute or construct), so it is rendered as a singular collective entity. "Kin-group" reflects the root idea of those bound or associated together, preserving the sense of a united body rather than a random crowd.
