A demonstrative adverb primarily indicating a specific point in time, usually past, meaning 'then' or 'at that time.' אָז functions to situate actions or events temporally in relation to a previously mentioned or implied context. In some constructions, it serves a logical or inferential function ('thus', 'thereupon'). Rarely, it may introduce a consequence or development, especially in poetic texts or parallelism.

from then
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (“from”) prefixed to demonstrative adverb אָז; adverbial construction indicating temporal starting point. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base adverb אָז marks a specific time (“then, at that time”). The prefixed preposition מִן (“from”) forms מֵאָז, indicating movement or duration beginning at that temporal point—hence “from then.” |
