SIBI-P1 Translation H5921-26
from upon me
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) + עַל (upon/over) with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix; contracted form מֵעָלַי. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עַל carries the core sense of elevation or position "upon/over." With the prefixed מִן assimilated as מֵ (‘from’) and the 1st person singular suffix, the form literally denotes movement or separation from a position above me—hence "from upon me." |
