Exegesis
The phrase me-al-panav {מֵֽעַל־פָּנָ֖יו | mē-ʿal-pā-nāw} uses a spatial metaphor for proximity, and the adverbial ad-attah {עַד־עָֽתָּה׃ | ʿad-ʿa-ṭ-ṭāh} extends divine protection to the present.
In context — 2 Kings 13:23
And the LORD was gracious to them, showed them compassion, and turned toward them for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was not willing to destroy them or to cast them from His presence up to this day.
