from opposite (of)

Rootמול (m-w-l)
Core Meaningsfront, opposite side, facing position, over-against
Semantic Rangefrom opposite, from before, from the front of, away from facing, over against
Conceptual SignificanceThis term expresses spatial orientation—standing or moving in relation to what is directly before or opposite. In biblical narrative, it often situates people or places in deliberate alignment or confrontation, underscoring physical or symbolic positioning before others or before YHWH.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the adverbial/prepositional noun מוּל ("front, opposite"); functions as a compound preposition meaning "from before, from opposite."
Rendering RationaleThe form מִמּוּל combines the preposition מִן ("from") with מוּל ("front, opposite side"). Rendering it as "from opposite (of)" preserves both the directional force of the preposition and the root idea of facing or being over against something. As a prepositional/adverbial form (HR/R), it carries no gender or number distinctions.
