SIBI-P1 H369-24
and there-is-not
| Root | אין (ʾ-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | non-existence, nothingness, absence, negation of being |
| Semantic Range | there is not, there are not, none, nothing, without, lack of, non-existence, absence |
| Conceptual Significance | אֵין expresses absolute absence or non-being, often emphasizing the total lack of something—whether help, knowledge, righteousness, or rival to YHWH. It can underscore human limitation, covenantal failure, or the unrivaled uniqueness of God ("there is none besides"). |
| Morphological Notes | Compound form of conjunction וְ (and) + negative existential particle אֵין (HC/Tn). The particle is invariable and does not mark gender, number, or person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The conjunction וְ adds "and" to the negative existential particle אֵין, which denotes non-existence or absence. Rendering it as "and there-is-not" preserves the Hebrew sense of existential negation rather than a simple verbal "not," reflecting its function as a particle denying the presence or reality of something. |
