SIBI-P1 Translation H7489-16
from badness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated as מֵ) + adjective masculine singular absolute used substantively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the masculine singular adjective רַע, here functioning substantivally. "Badness" preserves the root sense of being bad or harmful without restricting it to only moral evil. |
