upon them (feminine)

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsheight, elevation, overness, upon, against, above
Semantic Rangeupon, on, over, above, against, concerning, because of, in relation to, in addition to, according to
Conceptual Significanceעַל expresses relational positioning—physical, legal, or covenantal—often indicating authority, responsibility, burden, or blessing resting "upon" someone. With pronominal suffixes, it personalizes that relationship, marking what rests upon or concerns a specific group.
Morphological NotesPreposition עַל with 3rd person feminine plural pronominal suffix (־הֶן); spelled עֲלֵיהֶן/אֲלֵיהֶן in pause or orthographic variation.
Rendering RationaleThe preposition עַל conveys the core spatial sense of "upon, over, above," often with the idea of something resting or pressing down from above. The suffix ־הֶן marks third person feminine plural, so the rendering specifies that the reference is to feminine plural recipients ("them" feminine).
