from injustice
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) prefixed to masculine singular absolute noun עָוֶל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָוֶל denotes injustice or moral distortion rooted in עול. The prefixed מֵ־ (from) marks separation or source, yielding the sense "from injustice" while preserving the singular noun form. |
