SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-46
from their presence
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן + noun פָּנִים (plural of extension, construct state) + 3rd person masculine plural suffix; functions prepositionally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים (face, presence) in construct with the preposition מִן (from) and a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "from their presence." This preserves the root idea of what is turned outward (face) while reflecting the prefixed preposition and pronominal suffix. |
