from beneath you
| Morphological Notes | Preposition תַּחַת with prefixed מִן (from) and 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix; prepositional form with spatial or substitutive force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root תּחת conveys the idea of being beneath or under, extended metaphorically to substitution. The prefixed מִן (min) gives the sense "from," and the 2ms suffix "ךָ" specifies "you" (masculine singular), yielding "from beneath you." |
