from beside
| Morphological Notes | Preposition אֵת (with, beside) prefixed by מִן (from), forming a compound prepositional expression. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base preposition אֵת denotes nearness or being with; the prefixed מִן (min) adds separation, yielding the sense of movement or origin "from" a position of nearness. "From beside" preserves both the proximity inherent in אֵת and the separative force of the prefix. |
