מִ/קֶּ֖דֶשׁ
𐤌/𐤒𐤃𐤔
Qedesh
from Kedesh
Qedesh is a proper noun referring to a specific place or locality, primarily distinguished by its association with holiness or consecration. In the Hebrew Bible, Qedesh designates several towns situated in different tribal territories (notably Naphtali, Issachar, and Judah), and potentially other sites. The name itself invokes notions of sanctity or separated status, likely arising from a connection to a sacred or cultic function, though it is not necessarily indicative that the location retained such status permanently or that all uses refer to cult sites. In most biblical contexts, Qedesh functions as a geographical term.

from Qedesh
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + proper feminine singular noun (place name) קֶדֶשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the prefixed preposition מִן ("from") attached to the proper noun קֶדֶשׁ (Qedesh). As a geographical proper name derived from the root קדש (to be holy, set apart), it is best preserved as a place name while retaining the prefixed preposition. |
