SIBI-P1 Translation H5971-06
your gathered people
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (עַם) + 2nd person feminine singular pronominal suffix; literally "people of you (fs)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַם derives from the root meaning "to gather/associate," denoting a collective body bound together. The construct singular with 2nd feminine singular suffix is rendered "your gathered people," preserving both the collective sense and the feminine singular possessive. |
