וּ/מֵ/עֵ֣בֶר
𐤅/𐤌/𐤏𐤁𐤓
ʻêber
and from beyond
A region or side that is across or beyond, typically used in reference to a space or area on the far side of a boundary, river, or landmark—most often the side opposite the speaker’s location. Frequently designates the territory or peoples east of the Jordan River (i.e., 'the other side', especially from the perspective west of the Jordan), but can refer generally to any land, quarter, or boundary region lying across or beyond a given point. In some contexts, used adverbially or prepositionally to indicate directionality, opposition, or passage to another side.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5676-12
and from the far side
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) + masculine singular common noun עֵבֶר in absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵבֶר denotes the region or side that lies across or beyond a boundary, derived from the root meaning "to cross over." The prefixed conjunction ו and preposition מִן yield "and from," producing "and from the far side," preserving both root sense and morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and from beyond
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P2 uses 'and from beyond' for clarity and directness; the context refers to beyond a geographic boundary, not just 'the far side.' This matches the definition and is more idiomatic. |
