from before-time

Rootמול (m-w-l)
Core Meaningsfront, before, in front of, that which is opposite or prior
Semantic Rangeyesterday, recently, formerly, in time past, previously, from the day before
Conceptual SignificanceThis term anchors events in the immediate or remembered past, often highlighting continuity or contrast between prior conditions and present circumstances in Israel’s narrative and covenantal history.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the temporal adverb תְּמוֹל; functions adverbially to denote time prior. No gender, number, or person marking.
Rendering RationaleThe form מִתְּמוֹל combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the temporal adverb תְּמוֹל, derived from the root מול conveying the idea of what is "in front" or "before." Rendering it as "from before-time" preserves the spatial-root sense of "before/front" while accurately reflecting the prepositional form shown in the morphology (HR/D).
