SIBI-P1 Translation H5921-33
from upon you (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) + עַל + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; prepositional compound with suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base preposition עַל conveys the sense of elevation or position upon/over. The prefixed מֵ expresses movement away from, and the 2nd masculine plural suffix כֶם adds "you (masculine plural)," yielding the sense of removal or motion from upon you. |
