from upon him

Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsabove, over, upon, against
Semantic RangeSpatial: above, over, upon; from off/above; relational: against (with downward force), concerning, according to; temporal: beyond, after; extends to idiomatic uses like 'by reason of', 'touching', 'throughout'.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a ubiquitous preposition, עַל underscores divine sovereignty (e.g., God's rule 'over' creation), human responsibility ('upon' one's head), and relational dynamics in covenants; the suffixed form personalizes burden or relief ('from upon him'), highlighting themes of deliverance or accountability in Israel's story.
Morphological NotesHR (Hebrew preposition), R (with preposition מִן 'from'), Sp3ms (3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix); appears in various cantillation forms but consistent morphologically.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the prepositional sense of 'from upon' (מֵעַל) combined with the 3ms pronominal suffix '-him' (וֹ), directly reflecting the morphology HR/R/Sp3ms as a Hebrew preposition with 3rd masculine singular suffix. It maintains the root's core spatial and relational meanings of superiority or opposition with a downward aspect, avoiding interpretive glosses. The form is invariant across occurrences, ensuring grammatical fidelity.
