SIBI-P1 H7223-16

from the first (one)

Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a masculine singular absolute adjective רִאשׁוֹן ("first, former, foremost"). Used substantivally to denote the first in time, rank, or sequence.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective רִאשׁוֹן (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root meaning "head" or "foremost." With the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), the phrase literally means "from the first (one)," preserving both the root sense of primacy and the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology (Ams).
