and my kin-people

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct (עַם) with 1cs pronominal suffix (־ִי, "my"); frequently preceded by the conjunction וְ ("and") or the preposition בְ ("in"). Though singular in form, it is a collective noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a people viewed as a unified kinship community bound together. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 1st person common singular suffix ("my"), and here carries the prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"), thus "and my kin-people," preserving both the collective sense and the grammatical details.
