away-from (governing the genitive)
| Root | ἀπό (apo) |
| Core Meanings | from, away from, out of, off from, since, because of, separation, source |
| Semantic Range | Denotes separation from a place or person, origin or source, temporal starting point (since), cause or basis (because of), and figurative distancing or distinction. In compound verbs it intensifies ideas of removal, completion, or reversal. |
| Conceptual Significance | ἀπό is foundational for expressing covenantal distance, deliverance from bondage, origin from God, and separation from sin or impurity. It frames theological movement—whether exile away from the land, redemption away from slavery, or blessing proceeding from God—as relational departure or source. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) regularly governing the genitive case (G). It does not inflect for gender or number but requires its object in the genitive, expressing separation, source, or point of departure. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "away-from" preserves the core spatial sense of separation or departure inherent in ἀπό. As a preposition marked with the genitive case in the morphology, it expresses movement, origin, or source away from something, and the rendering highlights that relational force. |
