from the whole of
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state with prefixed preposition מִן ("from"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֹּל denotes totality or entirety, derived from the root meaning to complete or make whole. In construct form with the prefixed preposition מִן, it expresses source or separation, thus "from the whole of," preserving both the sense of totality and the construct relationship. |
