from going

Rootילך (y-l-k)
Core Meaningsto go, to walk, to move, to journey, to proceed
Semantic Rangephysical walking, traveling, departing, proceeding, behaving (one’s way of life), ongoing movement from a place or state
Conceptual SignificanceThe root י־ל־ךְ underlies the biblical motif of "walking" as both physical journey and metaphor for covenantal conduct. Expressions like "from going" often frame turning points—cessation, prevention, or departure—highlighting movement as a defining image of human life before Elohim.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן (assimilated to מִ־ with dagesh in ל) + Qal infinitive construct feminine singular of יָלַךְ. Functions verbally as an abstract verbal noun: "going."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal infinitive construct of יָלַךְ with the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), yielding "from going." The Qal stem preserves the simple, active sense of movement or departure inherent in the root.
