from above
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the adverbial noun מַעַל ("upper part, above"), with assimilation of the nun to the following mem (dagesh forte). Functions adverbially as a compound prepositional expression. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מִמַּעַל combines the preposition מִן ("from") with מַעַל ("upper part, that which is above"), derived from the root עלה ("to go up, ascend"). Rendering it as "from above" preserves both the upward/ascending sense of the root and the directional force of the prefixed preposition. |
