from becoming

Rootהיה (h-y-h)
Core Meaningsexistence, becoming, occurrence, happening, being
Semantic Rangefrom existence/being; from becoming; from occurring/happening; source of causation or origination in context
Conceptual SignificanceThe root הָיָה is foundational to biblical ontology, emphasizing God's creative 'becoming' (e.g., 'I am who I am,' Exod 3:14) and the dynamic reality of divine promises coming to pass; in infinitive construct with מִן, it underscores transitions from one state of existence to another, highlighting God's sovereignty over change and continuity in Israel's history.
Morphological NotesHiphil (HR) infinitive construct of הָיָה (hayah, H1961); the preposition מִן־ (min) 'from' governs the form, with vocalization מִהְיוֹת indicating infinitive construct; no gender, number, or person markers as it is a non-finite verbal noun form.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core root meaning of 'to be or become' while reflecting the infinitive construct form מִ/הְיֹת, which functions as a preposition + infinitive expressing origin or source ('from being/becoming'); the HR (Hiphil) stem adds a factitive nuance of 'causing to be/become,' but as an infinitive construct, it is rendered temporally without altering the neutral grammatical categories. It maintains the common translation 'from being' adapted to emphasize the dynamic 'becoming' inherent in the root.
