SIBI-P1 Translation H5771-41
from twisted-guilt
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) + noun, common, singular, absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָוֺן derives from the root meaning "to twist/distort," denoting guilt or iniquity as a state of moral distortion. The prefixed מֵ marks separation, so the form means "from" this state of twisted guilt. |
