is beside
Primarily refers to the 'side' or 'flank' of an object, place, or group. It can denote the physical side of something (e.g., a boundary, edge, or location adjacent to a central element) and, in rarer figurative instances, refer to 'one's side' in a contest or as an adversary. In spatial descriptions it typically designates proximity, adjacency, or orientation relative to a reference point. On rare occasions, it can also denote a party or faction in a dispute.

SIBI-P1 Translation H6654-05
from side of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + masculine singular noun in construct state (צַד). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צַד means "side" or "flank," and here it appears in masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"). The rendering "from side of" preserves both the spatial root sense and the construct relationship. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from side of
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | P1 is appropriate since the prepositional phrase specifies that the city is beside Beyt El; the SILEX definition supports 'from side of' in spatial context. |
