from upon
| Morphological Notes | Compound preposition: מִן (from) prefixed to עַל (upon/over); inseparable prepositional form. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form combines the preposition מִן (from) with עַל (upon/above), yielding the sense of movement or separation from a higher or elevated position. The rendering preserves the spatial-elevational force inherent in the root על. |
