(b) With verbs of covering or protecting, even though the cover or veil be not over or above the thing covered, but around or before it ('upon' referred to a side) : see גָּנַן, כָּסָה, סָכַךְ, עָטָה Nehemiah 2:8 יד אלהי הטובה עלי, compare Nehemiah 2:18; Ezra 7:6, Ezra 7:9; Ezra 8:18, Ezra 8:22, Ezra 8:31; Exodus 27:21 the veil that is over (i.e. before) the testimony, 1 Samuel 25:16 חוֺמָה הָיוּ עָלֵינוּ they were a wall about us; סָגַר עַל to shut in (or down) upon Exodus 14:13; Job 12:14; Ezekiel 13:5; Job 13:27; Job 26:9; Job 36:30 he spreadeth his light עָלָיו about him.

d. על is used idiomatically to give pathos to the expression of an emotion, by emphasizing the person who is its subject, and who, as it were, feels it acting upon him: Psalm 42:6 [Psalm 42:5] why art thou cast down, O my soul, וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלַי and disquieted upon me? Psalm 42:7 [Psalm 42:6] my soul upon me is cast down, Psalm 42:12 [Psalm 42:11; Psalm 43:5; Lamentations 3:20; Psalm 131:2 כְּגָמֻל עֲלֵי אִמּוֺ כַּגָּמוּל עָלַי נַפְשִׁי is my soul upon me; Psalm 142:4 [Psalm 142:3] רוּחִי עָלַי בְּהִתְעַטֵּף when my spirit faints upon me, Psalm 143:4; Jonah 2:8 [Jonah 2:7]; Jeremiah 8:18 ׃ דַוָּֽי לִבִּי עָלַי my heart upon me is sick, Job 14:22 (twice in verse) (compare Di), Hosea 11:8 נהפך עלי לבי my heart is turned (altered) upon me, 1 Samuel 17:32; 1 Samuel 25:36; Nehemiah 5:7 עָלַי לִבִּי וַיִּמָּלֵךְ and my heart took counsel upon me: compare Psalm 42:5 [Psalm 42:4] I will pour out my soul upon me, Job 30:16; Job 10:1 אעזבה עלי שׂיחי I will let loose my complaint upon me. (Thes apud me, mecum. The rendering 'within me alters entirely the point of view of the Hebrew expression, and is incorrect.) Denoting with some emphasis the subject of an experience, Job 30:2 כָּ֑לַח אבד עלימו, Daniel 2:1 his sleep נִהְיְתָה עָלָיו was done with upon him (compare Aramaic Daniel 6:19 [H5922Daniel 6:18] נַדַּת עֲלוֺהִי), Daniel 10:8 עָלַי נֶהְפַּךְ וְהוֹדִי (compare H5922Daniel 5:9; H5922Daniel 7:28): also, rather differently, Leviticus 18:18b Jeremiah 49:20 אִם לֹא יַשִׁים עֲלֵיהֶם נְוֵהֶם, Micah 7:13; Psalm 90:17b; Psalm 7:9 [Psalm 7:8] according to my perfectness upon me, Ezekiel 18:20; Ezekiel 22:3; 2 Chronicles 36:8.
e. חָיָה עַל to live upon (as upon a foundation or support; compare Isaiah 3:1, and Ζῆν ἐπί τινος), Deuteronomy 8:3 עַלהַֿלֶּחֶם, Isaiah 38:16 (compare Hi), Genesis 27:40 על חרבך תחיה upon (= by) thy sword thou shalt live (compare Kazwiniii. 17 ap. Tuch), Ezekiel 33:19, compare Ezekiel 33:26.
f. Of the ground, or basis, on which a thing is done, as Genesis 24:9 על הדבר הזה, Leviticus 17:12 if he offers it עַל תּוֺדָה on the ground of a thanks-giving, Numbers 6:21 עַל נִזְרוֺ, Numbers 6:21b Ezekiel 16:15; Ezekiel 28:17; Daniel 8:25 עַל שִׂכְלוֺ, Daniel 9:18 צדקותינו על, (with bdb075301 this use is extended so as to denote explicitly on condition of). Hence
(a) the basis being conceived as regulative, על comes to denote the norm or standard (compare German 'auf die Art' WAG ii. § 59 i): the transition may be seen in a passage like Exodus 24:8 the covenant which י׳ made with you on the basis of (על), or in agreement with, all these words (compare על פי Exodus 34:27), Numbers 35:24 האלה על המשׁפטים, Deuteronomy 17:11; Jeremiah 30:18 the palace shall sit (i.e. be inhabited: see ישׁב) מִשְׁפָּטוֹ עַל in accordance with its manner, Psalm 94:20 who frames mischief עֲלֵיחֹֿק in accordance with a law,... על פי according to the mouth (i.e. command, Genesis 45:21 — Deuteronomy 17:6; Deuteronomy 19:15, sentence Deuteronomy 21:5) of...;... שֵׁם עַל according to the name of... (mostly with call, be called) Genesis 48:6; Exodus 28:21; 2 Samuel 18:18 +, compare 1 Chronicles 23:14; Exodus 6:26; Exodus 12:51 על צִבְאֹתָם according to their hosts (usually לְ), Numbers 1:18 על משׁפחתם (usually לְ) Numbers 1:52; Numbers 2:2, Numbers 2:34; Numbers 7:3 (|| ל), Deuteronomy 18:8 (probably); עַל יְדֵי according to the hands (direction) of Jeremiah 5:31; Jeremiah 33:13 al.(v. p. 391 b); Psalm 110:4 עַל דִּבְרָתִי מ׳ after the manner of M.; Proverbs 25:11 (probably) a word spoken עַל אָעפנָיו in accordance with its circumstances = appositely; of the tune according to which a song is to be sung (RV. set to) Psalm 6:1 (1 Chronicles 15:21), Psalm 8:1; Psalm 9:1; Psalm 12:1; Psalm 45:1; Psalm 46:1 (1 Chronicles 15:20) עַלעֲֿלָמוֺת (perhaps, however, in the manner of maidens = for 'sopranos'), Psalm 53:1; Psalm 56:1; Psalm 60:1; Psalm 69:1; Psalm 81:1; Psalm 84:1; Psalm 88:1 (compare in Syriac bdb075400bdb075401bdb075402).
(b) The basis being conceived as involving the ground, על denotes the cause or reason, on account of, because of, Genesis 20:3 lo thou shalt die עַל הָאִשָּׁה on account of the woman, Genesis 21:12; Genesis 26:7, Genesis 26:9; Genesis 27:41; Genesis 42:21; Leviticus 4:3, Leviticus 4:28; Leviticus 5:18; Leviticus 19:17; Leviticus 26:18, Leviticus 26:24, Leviticus 26:28; Deuteronomy 9:18; Deuteronomy 24:16 fathers shall not be put to death עלבֿנים on account of children, Deuteronomy 31:18; Joshua 9:20; H5291Jeremiah 1:16; Jeremiah 5:9; Ezekiel 18:26 עליהם (|| Ezekiel 33:18 בָּהֶם), Proverbs 28:21; Psalm 39:12 [Psalm 39:11]; Psalm 50:8 + often; Psalm 44:23 [Psalm 44:22] עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ on thy account are we slain all the day, Psalm 69:8 [Psalm 69:7]; Jeremiah 15:15; in the phrases עַל... דְּבַר, עַל אוֺדוֺת, עַל זֹאת and עַל זֶה on this account, עַל מָה on what account ? עַלכֵּֿן = therefore (see דָּבָר, אוֺדָה, etc.); before an infinitive, as Exodus 17:7 וְעַל נַסּוֺתָם אֶתיֿ׳ and on, account of their trying י׳, Amos 1:3 עַל דּוּשָׁם on account of their threshing = because they threshed, Amos 1:6; Amos 1:9; Amos 1:11; Amos 1:13, etc., Jeremiah 2:35 עַל אָמְרֵךְ because of thy saying, Jeremiah 9:12 [Jeremiah 9:13; Jeremiah 16:18 +; and as a conjunction both with and without אֲשֶׁר or כִּי (see below III). And so often of the ground or cause of fear, grief, delight, or other emotions, e.g. Exodus 18:9; Exodus 32:14 (נִחַם repent: so often), 1 Samuel 4:13; 1 Samuel 30:6; 2 Samuel 1:26; 2 Samuel 3:8; 1 Kings 21:4; 2 Kings 6:11; Jeremiah 10:19; Amos 6:6.
(c) Somewhat more strongly, on behalf of, for the sake of, Genesis 19:17 escape על נפשׁך forthy life; Judges 9:17; 2 Kings 10:3 נִלְחֵם עַל (usually ל); 1 Kings 2:18 I will speak on thy behalf to the king, 1 Kings 2:19 (2 Kings 4:13 לְ); Esther 4:16, Esther 4:8; Esther 7:7; Esther 8:11; Esther 9:16; Daniel 12:1 על עמד stand up (in late Hebrew) on behalf of; התפלל על intercede for (usually בעד) Job 42:8; Nehemiah 1:6; 2 Chronicles 30:18; 2 Chronicles 29:21; Ezra 8:35; and very often with כִּפֶּר (which see) make atonement for. (Not very common with other verbs.)
(d) Sometimes it acquires almost a final force, for; Exodus 12:4; Exodus 29:36; Exodus 30:16; Deuteronomy 27:13 there shall stand עַלהַֿקְּלָלָה (|| Deuteronomy 27:12 לְבָרֵךְ), Psalm 89:4 [Psalm 89:3 עַל־מַה־שָּׁוְא כָל־בְּנֵי־אָדָם בָּרָאתָ unto what vanity hast thou created, etc.! Proverbs 29:5b 2 Chronicles 23:18; Ecclesiastes 3:17.
(e) Of a condition, or attendant circumstances (rare; so bdb075403, WAG ii § 59 e): Psalm 50:5 זָ֑בַח׃ עֲלֵי upon, with sacrifice, Psalm 92:4 [Psalm 92:3 וגו׳ עָשׂוֹר עֲלֵי with a ten-stringed instrument, with a harp, with sounding music on a lyre; עַל רִיב upon occasion of a law-suit Exodus 23:2; Ezekiel 44:24, עַל יוֺם טוֺב 1 Samuel 25:8 (compare bdb075404 bdb075405 at a time of... Qoran [Koran] 28:14), Nehemiah 12:22 (? read עַד BeRy), Isaiah 18:4 כְּחֹם צַח עֲלֵי אוֺר at time of sunshine, Isaiah 64:11 [Isaiah 64:12] עַל אֵלֶּה, Jeremiah 8:18; עֲלֵי יָגוֺן at time of sorrow, Jeremiah 16:7 (but Gie עַל אָבֵל to): with abstract substantives to form a periphr. for adverbs, Leviticus 5:22 [Leviticus 6:3] and swear עַל שֶׁקֶר upon falseness = falsely, Jeremiah 6:14 = Jeremiah 8:11 to heal a wound עַל נְקַלָּה lightly, easily, Psalm 31:24 [Psalm 31:23] עַל יֶתֶר = abundantly, Isaiah 60:7 עַל רָצוֺן = acceptably (compare bdb075406 bdb075407= with delight).
(f) It hence acquires the force of in spite of, notwithstanding (so bdb075408, WAG ii. § 59 h), Job 10:7 עַל דַּעְתְּךָ in spite of thy knowing, Job 34:6 משׁפטי על notwithstanding my right I am to be a liar (Di De Da RV: otherwise Hi RVm). compare below, III c b.
(g) Upon, concerning, with verbs of speaking, as דִּבֶּר Judges 9:3; 1 Kings 5:13 [1 Kings 4:33], אָמַר, Jeremiah 16:3; Jeremiah 27:19 (|| אל) Jeremiah 33:4, hearing Genesis 41:15 שָׁמַעְתִּי עָלֶיךָ I have heard concerning thee, saying, etc., 1 Kings 10:6; Isaiah 37:9 (|| 2 Kings 19:9 אל), disputing Genesis 26:11, telling 1 Samuel 27:11; Joel 1:3, commanding 2 Samuel 14:8; 1 Kings 11:10, being vexed 1 Kings 21:4; 2 Kings 6:11, crying 2 Kings 8:5, confessing Psalm 32:5; Nehemiah 1:6; of the object of a prophecy or vision 1 Kings 22:8; Isaiah 1:1; Isaiah 2:1; and often with similar verbs.
(h) In a somewhat weaker sense, in the matter of, as regards, Genesis 41:32 וְעַל הִשָּׁנוֺת הַחֲלוֺם, Exodus 22:8 [Exodus 22:9]; Ruth 4:7; Leviticus 5:22 [Leviticus 6:3]; Leviticus 5:26 [Leviticus 6:7]; Daniel 9:14b Nehemiah 9:33; חָטָא עַל Leviticus 4:14 (|| בָּהּ Leviticus 4:23, cognate accusative Leviticus 4:28), Leviticus 5:5; Numbers 6:11; Nehemiah 13:26; עַלדְּֿבַר ֗֗֗ in the matter of, Numbers 25:18; Numbers 31:16.
2. It expresses excess (synonym מִן which see); Genesis 48:22 I give thee שְׁכֶם אַחַר עַל אַחֶיךָ one shoulder (ridge) above thy brethren, Exodus 16:5 מִשְׁנֶה על double above or beyond, Numbers 3:46; Deuteronomy 25:3 stripes עַלאֵֿלֶּה beyond these, Joshua 3:15 Jordan מָלֵא עַל was full over all its banks (compare Joshua 4:18; Isaiah 8:7b הלך על, עלה) Psalm 138:2; Ecclesiastes 1:16; Daniel 1:20 עֶשֶׂר יָדוֺת עַל ten times above (compare in Aramaic Daniel 3:19, and bdb075501 Qoran 37:153), Ezra 1:6 לְבַר עַל = beside (see בַּד); Psalm 16:2 (si vera lectio) טוֺבָתִי בַל עָלֶיךָ my welfare is not beyond thee, i.e. does not lie outside thee. — Of time, Leviticus 15:25 if she has an issue עַל נִדָּתָהּ beyond her time of impurity (compare Isaiah 32:10, 4b).

c. Expressing direction towards (not common, except in sense against: see below) —
(a) with verbs of motion, properly of a person (or thing) moving to another so as either to stand above, or rest upon, it (compare PuseyMin.

Isaiah 62:10 העמים הרימו נֵס על over towards (but Isaiah 49:22 אל): but often it is dubious if this force is perceptible; and in general על in such cases seems to be used merely as a synonym — perhaps as a slightly more graphic synonym — of אֶל (compare p. 41); in the later language, also, it may be due partly to the influence of Aramaic, which does not use אֶל; thus
(α) with a personal object, with assemble or be assembled, Exodus 32:1; 2 Samuel 17:11; 1 Kings 8:5; 1 Kings 11:24; 2 Kings 22:20 (2 Chronicles 34:28 and usually אל), 2 Chronicles 13:7, עלה Genesis 38:12; Joshua 2:8; 1 Samuel 14:10 (1 Samuel 14:9; 1 Samuel 14:12 אל), עבר 1 Samuel 14:4 (1 Samuel 14:1 אל), בא 2 Samuel 15:4 (see Dr) 1 Chronicles 12:23f [1 Chronicles 12:22], יצא 2 Kings 24:12, הוליך 2 Kings 25:20, נגע Judges 20:34, Judges 20:41 (compare Isaiah 6:7; Jeremiah 1:9), נס Isaiah 10:3, הלך Isaiah 22:15 (אל ֗֗֗ על), נשׂא Isaiah 30:6, שׁלח 2 Kings 18:27 (על ֗֗֗ אל ֗֗֗ על : || Isaiah 36:12 אל ֗֗֗ אל ֗֗֗ על), Jeremiah 26:15; Jeremiah 29:31; 1 Chronicles 13:2; 2 Chronicles 28:16; 2 Chronicles 30:1; 2 Chronicles 32:9, 2 Chronicles 32:31; 2 Chronicles 36:15; Nehemiah 6:3, נגשׁ Ezekiel 9:6, שׁב, השׁיב Nehemiah 4:6 [Nehemiah 4:12]; Malachi 3:24 [Malachi 4:6 (see c), followed by על י׳ 2 Chronicles 15:4; 2 Chronicles 30:9, התיצּב 2 Chronicles 11:13; letters going על פ׳ Nehemiah 2:7; Nehemiah 6:17a (Nehemiah 6:17b אל).
