from El-sows
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) prefixed to proper masculine singular name יִזְרְעֵאל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name יִזְרְעֵאל combines the root זרע (to sow) with אֵל (El, God), meaning "El sows" or "God sows." The prefixed preposition מִן (from) is preserved, yielding "from El-sows," maintaining both root meaning and morphology. |
