his peoples

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct form (עַמֵּי > עַמָּיו) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; literally "peoples of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a people understood as a kin-bound, gathered community. The form is masculine plural in construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix, so "his peoples" preserves both the plural morphology and the possessive "his," while retaining the collective sense inherent in the root.
