Hebrew word study: מִן (min) - 'from'

It's amazing just how much one can discover in the use of a single, ordinary word. Last year I did a study on the Hebrew word for from, מִן (pronounced min). Non-Hebrew scholars may be interested in the last paragraph concerning "grace" (as in giving thanks for a meal). From what I can tell, the popular notion in the charismatic movement (and others) of blessing the food is not Biblical. Jesus and his tradition would bless the LORD, giving thanks for the meal.

Here's the study.
