SIBI-P1 H7138-06
from (what is) near
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to an adjective, masculine singular absolute (קָרוֹב). The adjective can function substantively to denote "that which is near" (place, time, or person). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קָרוֹב (masculine singular absolute) means "near" or "one who is near," derived from the root קרב (to draw near). With the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), the form literally expresses movement or origin "from near." The rendering preserves the singular form and reflects the root idea of nearness or proximity. |
