upon you

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsabove, over, upon, against, on
Semantic Rangeabove, over, upon, against, according to, after, among, at, by, concerning, from, on, over, than, through, to, touching, with; often implies superiority, position, or relation with downward force.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition, על signifies divine oversight ('hand of God upon'), burden/responsibility ('sin upon'), or prophetic authority ('spirit upon'); theologically, it evokes God's sovereign position above creation and humanity's position under divine will or judgment in covenant contexts.
Morphological NotesHR (preposition) with Sp2ms (2nd person masculine singular suffix); surfaces show variant vocalizations and cantillation of עָלֶיךָ.
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'upon you' directly preserves the core preposition meaning of 'upon/over' from the root על while accurately reflecting the morphology HR/Sp2ms as a singular preposition with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (-kā), addressing a male; it maintains the spatial/relational sense with a downward aspect as per the lexeme gloss.
