from a male
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to noun זָכָר; masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זָכָר denotes a biological male in the masculine singular absolute form; the prefixed מִן adds the prepositional sense "from." The rendering preserves singular masculine morphology and the term’s core designation of male sex. |
