from Rephidim
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + proper masculine plural place name רְפִידִים; functions as a geographic proper noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the proper noun רְפִידִים (Rephidim). Although derived from a root meaning "to spread out" or "support," this lexical form functions exclusively as a geographic name, so it is rendered as the place-name with the prefixed preposition preserved. |
