from the opening of
| Root | פתח (p-t-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to open, opening, doorway, entrance, gateway |
| Semantic Range | doorway, entrance, gate, threshold, opening of a tent, house, city gate, or other structure |
| Conceptual Significance | The "opening" often marks a liminal space—between inside and outside, sacred and common—such as the entrance to the tent of meeting or a city gate. It can symbolize access, transition, or the point at which divine-human encounters occur. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive ("opening of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּתַח ("opening") derives from the root פתח, "to open." The prefixed מִן ("from") combined with the masculine singular construct form yields "from the opening of," preserving the root sense of an opened place and reflecting the singular construct relationship to what follows. |
