from upon

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningselevation, upwardness, overness, upon-ness, above, against (with downward orientation)
Semantic Rangefrom upon, from over, from above, from against, away from over, off of; by extension, removal from a position of authority or burden
Conceptual Significanceמֵעַל frequently conveys removal from a position of elevation, authority, covering, or burden. It reflects the Hebrew spatial worldview in which authority, responsibility, or pressure is conceptualized as something resting "upon" a person or object, and deliverance or transfer is movement "from upon" them.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן (min, "from") in reduced form מֵ־ prefixed to the preposition עַל (ʿal, "upon, over"); categorized as HR/R (Hebrew preposition). Indeclinable; no gender, number, or person marking.
Rendering RationaleThe form מֵעַל consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to עַל ("upon, over"). Rendering it "from upon" preserves both components: the separative force of מִן and the elevated or overlying sense inherent in עַל, maintaining the spatial imagery of movement away from an elevated position.
