from the north
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to feminine singular noun צָפוֹן in construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צָפוֹן denotes the principal direction "north," derived from the root meaning "to hide" or "conceal," reflecting its association with obscurity. The prefixed preposition מִן (“from”) requires the rendering "from the north," preserving both direction and morphology. |
