SIBI-P1 H5921-33
and upon
| Root | על (ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, ascent, overness, upon-ness |
| Semantic Range | upon, over, above, against (with downward force), concerning, because of, in addition to, beyond, according to |
| Conceptual Significance | עַל expresses not only physical elevation but relational positioning—authority over, responsibility upon, or action directed against. It frequently frames covenantal obligation, divine sovereignty "over" creation, and burdens laid "upon" individuals, making spatial elevation a metaphor for rule, weight, and accountability in biblical thought. |
| Morphological Notes | וְ + עַל: conjunction (waw) prefixed to a preposition (R). Indeclinable particle; no gender, number, or person distinctions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the preposition עַל ("upon, over"). The rendering "and upon" preserves both the conjunctive force and the core spatial sense of elevation or position above inherent in the root על. |
