SIBI-P1

if / whether

Rootאם (ʾ-m)
Core Meaningscondition, contingency, interrogation, concession, supposition
Semantic Rangeif, whether, though, even if, when (in conditional sense), unless (with negation), or (in alternative clauses), indeed (in emphatic or rhetorical contexts)
Conceptual Significanceאִם is foundational for covenantal and legal discourse in Scripture, marking blessings and curses, obedience and consequence, and framing rhetorical appeals. It structures much of biblical theology around conditional relationship—"if you hear…"—highlighting human response within divine promise.
Morphological NotesHebrew conjunction (HC); indeclinable particle used to introduce conditional, concessive, or interrogative clauses; form is invariant.
Rendering Rationaleאִם is an indeclinable conjunction (HC) that introduces conditions, alternatives, or indirect questions. The rendering "if / whether" preserves its core function of expressing contingency or inquiry, and since it is a particle, no gender, number, or person distinctions apply.
