מִן

min · min · preposition · “from, out of”

In a sentence

Min means «from, out of» — a small preposition behind many of the great phrases of the Old Testament. «From the LORD,» «out of Egypt,» «from of old.»

Min is one of the most common prepositions — «from, out of.» It introduces the source of help («from the LORD»), the place of rescue («out of Egypt»), the depth of antiquity («from of old»).

Habakkuk 1:12 asks, «Are you not min everlasting, O LORD my God?» The word carries the believer's anchor in God's origins.
