Common Translation

SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-72
and from the face of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition מִן + noun common plural construct of פָּנִים (plural of extension, functioning singular in sense). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction ו (and) with the preposition מִן (from) and the construct plural פְּנֵי (faces of). Rendering it as "and from the face of" preserves the root idea of what is turned outward and visible, while reflecting the construct relationship. |
