in non-existence
| Root | אין (ʾ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | non-existence, nothingness, absence, negation |
| Semantic Range | without, there is no, in the absence of, lacking, when there is no, apart from |
| Conceptual Significance | אַיִן expresses absolute negation and the state of non-being. In biblical thought it often highlights human limitation, the absence of help or resources, or the stark contrast between YHWH’s sustaining presence and the void of non-existence. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ prefixed to the negative substantive/particle אַיִן (HR/Tn). Functions adverbially or as a prepositional phrase expressing absence or lack. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בְּאֵין combines the preposition בְּ ("in, with") with אַיִן, a substantive term denoting non-existence or absence. Rendering it as "in non-existence" preserves the underlying concept of nothingness while reflecting the prefixed preposition indicated in the morphology. |
