from his peoples

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningspeoplehood, kin-group, communal unity, associated group
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, tribe, kinsfolk, ethnic group, subjects, troops, communal body
Conceptual Significanceעַם expresses covenant identity and communal belonging in the Hebrew Bible, often marking membership within Israel or distinction from other nations; it underscores collective identity rooted in shared ancestry and allegiance.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to noun עַם in masculine plural construct form (עַמֵּי → עַמָּיו) with 3ms pronominal suffix ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a people or kin-group viewed as a united community. The morphology (masculine plural construct with 3ms suffix, preceded by מִן "from") requires a plural rendering with possession, hence "from his peoples," preserving both the plural form and the third masculine singular suffix.
