SIBI-P1 Translation H6258-02
from this time onward
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the adverb עַתָּה ("now, this time"); functions adverbially to denote time beginning at the present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with עַתָּה ("now, this time"), yielding the sense of departure from the present moment forward. "From this time onward" preserves both the temporal root meaning and the prefixed preposition. |
