from an enclosed garden
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a common noun, singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גַּן denotes a cultivated area that is protected or enclosed, reflecting the root idea of shielding or fencing. The prefixed מִן adds the sense "from," and the singular construct form preserves the basic noun without altering its core meaning. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from the garden
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Given the context of Eden, 'from the garden' is more precise than 'from an enclosed garden,' as the definiteness is clear in the verse. The SILEX definition allows both, but specifying simply 'the garden' matches the referent in context. |
