from (the) built-house of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to masculine singular construct noun בֵּית (construct of בַּיִת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּיִת derives from the root בנה (“to build”) and denotes a built structure or established household. The prefixed מִן (“from”) combined with the masculine singular construct form yields “from (the) built-house of,” preserving both the source preposition and construct relationship. |
