from before the faces

Morphological NotesHR/R/Ncbpc: Hebrew preposition מִן (from) + לְ (to/for) + construct state of פָּנִים (faces, always plural but singular in use); common idiomatic form for 'from before/in front of'.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root פנה's core idea of 'turning' by evoking the 'faces' (plural construct form of פָּנִים) as the turning part, while 'from before' captures the common prepositional sense of מִלְּפְנֵי; the morphology HR/R/Ncbpc (preposition + construct plural noun) is reflected in the plural 'faces' with no person/gender suffixes to adjust.
