SIBI-P1 Translation H830-04
from a refuse-heap
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a heap formed from what has been scraped or swept together; rendering it as "refuse-heap" preserves the root sense of collected waste. The prefixed מִן is reflected by "from," and the singular masculine absolute form is kept as singular in English. |
