from the pasture-wilderness of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc). The doubled מ reflects assimilation of the nun in מִן. The construct form links the noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִדְבָּר (midbār) derives from the root דבר in the sense of driving or leading livestock, referring to open grazing land that becomes synonymous with wilderness. The form is masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), so the rendering preserves the singular noun and the construct relationship by including "of." |
