SIBI-P1 H5921-09

upon them

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsuponness, overness, elevation, againstness, position above
Semantic Rangeupon, over, against, concerning them, because of them, in addition to them, in authority over them (context-dependent)
Conceptual Significanceעַל frequently conveys ideas of authority, burden, opposition, or responsibility—what rests "upon" someone. With a plural suffix, it often marks collective accountability, divine judgment resting upon a people, or authority exercised over them in covenantal contexts.
Morphological NotesPreposition עַל (H5921) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix; parsed HR/Sp3mp. The vowel changes reflect the preposition in construct with the suffix (עֲלֵיהֶם / אֲלֵיהֶם in some orthographic variations).
Rendering RationaleThe form combines the preposition עַל (ʿal, "upon/over/against," carrying a sense of being above or resting upon) with a 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הֶם, "them"). "Upon them" preserves both the spatial-over sense of the root and the masculine plural object indicated by the suffix.
