SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-45
from the presence of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן + noun פָּנִים (common, plural of extension, construct state); literally "from faces of." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the construct plural פְּנֵי ("faces of"), yielding the sense "from the face/presence of." This preserves the root idea of what is turned outward and visible, functioning relationally as movement away from someone’s presence. |
