Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מַטָּה (Milêl) adv. downward, beneath, below, Deuteronomy 28:43; Proverbs 15:24. Opp. to מַעְלָה above. (This word has not sprung from מַטֶּה itself, but, as it appears from the acute penultima, from the shortened form מַט bending, a low place, with the addition of ה local.) With prefixes

(1) לְמַטָּה

(a) downward, Deuteronomy 28:13; Ezekiel 1:27; 2 Kings 19:30; Jeremiah 31:37; Ecclesiastes 3:21.

(b) below, 2 Kings 19:30; 1 Chronicles 27:23, “of twenty years old וּלְמַטָּה and under.” Followed by מִן Ezra 9:13, לְמַטָּה מֵעֲוֹנֵנוּ “below our sin,” less than our sin deserved.

(2) מִלְּמַטָּה beneath (opp. to מִלְמַעְלָה above), Exodus 26:24, 27:5 28:27 36:29 38:4 39:20.
