SIBI-P1 Translation H6440-39
from his face
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural of extension in construct (פָּנֵי) with prefixed preposition מִן and 3rd masculine singular suffix; literally "from the face(s) of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּנִים derives from the root meaning "to turn" and denotes the outward-turned surface or face. With the prefixed preposition מִן ("from") and the 3ms suffix, the form literally means "from his face," preserving both the concrete root sense and the pronominal morphology. |
