According to Angela Crowell, "Hebrew syntax calls for compound prepositions" rather than the single preposition common in English. This usage is traced back to the literal translation of the Hebrew text. Compound prepositions are used to indicate the locale and direction of the action as well as the action itself (Rosenau 1902:119-120). A good example of this is found in Jacob 5:16, "the servant went down into the vineyard." [Angela M. Crowell, "Hebraisms in the Book of Mormon," in Recent Book of Mormon Developments, Vol. 2, p. 7]
