SIBI-P1 Translation H1008-05

from House-of-El

Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") prefixed to masculine singular construct proper noun בֵּית־אֵל.
Rendering RationaleThe form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the construct proper noun בֵּית־אֵל, literally "House of El." Rendering it as "from House-of-El" preserves both the prefixed preposition and the compound root meaning rather than substituting a later place-name form.
