from land
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated to מֵ) + noun אֶרֶץ, common noun, feminine singular, construct state due to prefixed preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed preposition מִן ('from') is joined to the singular noun אֶרֶץ, yielding 'from land.' The rendering preserves the singular form and reflects the root sense of solid ground or territorial land without adding contextual specificity. |
