SIBI-P1 Translation H410-12
from a mighty one
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to masculine singular common noun אֵל in construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֵל denotes a powerful or mighty being derived from the root meaning "to be strong." The prefixed preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) adds "from," and the masculine singular form is preserved with the indefinite "a mighty one." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from God
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In this context, 'from God' more directly communicates the intended sense, as the passage refers to God's blessing; specifying 'God' rather than 'a mighty one' aligns with the context of divine source. |
