Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsabove, over, upon, against, on
Semantic Rangeabove, over, upon, against, among, at, by, concerning, from (off), on, over, than, through, to, touching, with; often implies motion toward or position relative to the object.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition, על signifies relational positionality central to covenantal dynamics, divine oversight (e.g., God's hand 'upon' Israel), burden-bearing (yoke 'upon' shoulders), and spatial/temporal proximity in God's interactions with creation, emphasizing dependence and directionality in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesHR (preposition with pronominal suffix)/Sp3ms: preposition על with 3ms suffix -ו, vocalized as עָלָי/ו in various cantillation forms.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core preposition meaning of 'upon' or 'over/above' from the root על, which denotes elevation or position toward something with a downward aspect; it reflects the HR/Sp3ms morphology as a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix 'him/it', maintaining gender (masculine), number (singular), and person (3rd). The form עָלָי/ו combines the preposition with the suffix, commonly translated 'on it/him' in context.
