from these
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) prefixed to demonstrative pronoun אֵלֶּה; common gender, plural; proximal demonstrative with prefixed preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base demonstrative אֵלֶּה means "these" (proximal plural), indicating specific items or persons. The prefixed מִן (assimilated as מֵ) adds the separative sense "from," yielding the plural demonstrative phrase "from these." |
