Exegesis
The idiom mē-ʿal pānāw {מֵעַ֣ל פָּנָ֑יו | mē-ʿal pā-nāw} ‘from upon His face’ communicates relational exclusion, so “from His presence” conveys the force without wooden imagery.
In context — 2 Kings 24:3
Surely, by the command of the LORD , it happened in Judah to remove them from before His face because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did.
