his kin-people

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct form (עַם) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his people." Though singular in form, it is a collective noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a united community bound by kinship or shared identity. As a masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, it literally means "people of him," hence "his kin-people," preserving both the collective-singular sense of the noun and the possessive relationship indicated by the suffix.
