his kin-people

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningsto associate, to be joined, kinship, community, peoplehood
Semantic Rangepeople, kin-group, tribe, nation, subjects, attendants, populace, covenant community
Conceptual Significanceעַם is a central covenantal term in the Hebrew Bible, especially in the formula "I will be their God, and they shall be My people." It expresses collective identity, belonging, and relational loyalty between a leader or deity and the community bound to him.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct form (עַם) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his people." Though singular in form, it is a collective noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עַם denotes a united community bound by kinship or shared identity. As a masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, it literally means "people of him," hence "his kin-people," preserving both the collective-singular sense of the noun and the possessive relationship indicated by the suffix.
