from rich oil
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to masculine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁמֶן denotes oil as the liquid embodiment of fatness or richness, derived from the root meaning "to be fat, become rich." The prefixed preposition מִן adds the sense "from," and the singular construct form is preserved in the concise rendering. |
