There is much scholarly discussion concerning the Biblical Hebrew verb KPR, often translated as "atone" or "expiate"; however, there is far less discussion of the prepositions governed by KPR, and their functions. Of the 101 instances of the verb in the Hebrew Bible, 83 govern at least one preposition. The functions of these prepositions vary, often denoting abstract senses derived from an original spatial sense. This study seeks to offer a principled linguistic analysis of three of the various prepositions governed by the verb, attempting to better articulate how KPR functions syntactically and contextually. Emphasis will be placed upon the particular nuances that‪ /'al/, /be'ad/, and /min/ take under the governance of KPR. Each of these prepositions, as is generally the case, has a prototypically spatial connotation; that is, they were originally developed to locate an object or event (trajector) in relation to a particular landmark. However, as languages evolve, spatial primitives become used to refer to non-spatial (i.e. temporal or abstract) relationships. However, no serious consideration has been made as to how the development of non-spatial uses of prepositions can shed light upon the particular nuances of specific verbs, in this case KPR.‬‬‬‬This approach will apply the methodology of Cognitive Linguistics, its daughter discipline, Principled Polysemy Theory, and grammaticalization, in order to trace the development of the Hebrew prepositions /'al/, /be'ad/, and /min/. For each preposition the primary sense will be identified, its derived senses will be analyzed, and a semantic map will be proposed. In introducing these analyses, the various scholarly discussions regarding the semantic nuances of these prepositions when governed by KPR will be surveyed. By way of conclusion, these discussions will be revisited and reassessed in light of the evidence presented.
