and from the primeval deep
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition מִן (“from”) + common noun, singular, absolute; gender treated as feminine in usage though morphologically marked as both. |
| Rendering Rationale | תְּהוֹם denotes the vast, tumultuous primordial waters derived from the root הום (“to roar, be in tumult”). The prefixes וּ (and) and מִ (from) are preserved, and the singular absolute noun is rendered concisely as “primeval deep,” reflecting its cosmic and abyssal sense. |
