and if
| Root | אם (ʾ-m) |
| Core Meanings | conditionality, contingency, possibility, interrogation |
| Semantic Range | if, whether, though, unless, indeed, surely (in oath formulas), when, since; introduces conditional, interrogative, concessive, or emphatic clauses depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | אִם is foundational for expressing covenantal conditions, legal contingencies, rhetorical questions, and oath formulas in the Hebrew Bible. It structures blessings and curses, tests of faithfulness, and hypothetical reasoning central to Israel’s covenant theology. |
| Morphological Notes | HC/C: conjunction (וְ) prefixed to the conditional particle אִם. Indeclinable particle with no gender, number, or person inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the conditional particle אִם ("if"). Rendering it "and if" preserves both the connective force of the waw and the core conditional sense inherent in the particle. |
