among his peoples

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsassociation, kinship grouping, gathered community, peoplehood
Semantic Rangepeople, nation, tribal group, kinship community, subjects of a ruler, assembled company
Conceptual Significanceעַם expresses covenantal and communal identity in the Hebrew Bible, often designating Israel as a gathered people bound by shared ancestry and covenant. In plural form ("peoples"), it can emphasize multiple tribal groupings or distinct nations under a single figure, highlighting corporate belonging and social solidarity.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/among") + masculine plural construct noun עַמֵּי (from עַם) with 3rd masculine singular suffix –יו ("his"): literally "in/among the peoples of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם (people, kin-group) appears here in the masculine plural construct form עַמָּיו with a 3ms pronominal suffix, preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in/among"). Rendering it "among his peoples" preserves the plural form and the possessive "his," while retaining the root sense of a gathered community or kinship group.
