אַף

noun masculine • Root אנף • Strongs_Numbers • Page 171

Properly the projecting, the prominent; the nose as the prominent thing of the face; anger (conceived of as a snorting of the nose); face.

אַף

preposition / conj. • Strongs_Numbers • Page 172

Properly a preposition meaning 'with', 'at', 'to', 'before', 'toward'. As a conjunction it signifies 'also', 'likewise', 'even', 'yea', 'how much more' (a fortiori). It is often used to make pronouns or particles emphatic. When reduplicated (אַף ... אַף) it means 'as well ... as also'.

II. אַף conjunction denoting addition, especially of something greater, also, yea (so Phoenician, Aramaic ܐܠ, אַף, אוֹף; compare ).

Cognates:

• Phoenician אף
• Aramaic ܐܠ, אַף, אוֹף
• Egyptian Aramaic, Palmyrene אף (S-C Pap. Ldzb 224)
• Old Persian אַף
• Syriac ܒܪ

1. Basic Usage

Very rare in plain prose (in which גַּם is more usual):

• Genesis 40:16 (with pronoun, as rather often) I also in my dream
• Numbers 16:14
• Deuteronomy 2:11
• Deuteronomy 2:20
• 2 Samuel 20:14 (see Driver)
• 2 Kings 2:14
• Esther 5:12

More frequently in poetry, especially as introducing emphatically a new thought:

• Deuteronomy 33:3, 20, 28
• 1 Samuel 2:7
• Psalm 16:6, 7, 9
• Psalm 18:49
• Psalm 65:14 they shout for joy, yea, they sing!
• Psalm 68:9, 17
• Psalm 74:16
• Psalm 89:28
• Proverbs 22:19, 23:28 +

Or in more elevated prose style:

• Leviticus 26:16, 24, 28, 41
• And 25 times in the impassioned rhetoric of Isaiah 2 (Isaiah 40:24-48:15), e.g. Isaiah 40:24; 41:10, 26; 42:13; 43:7, 19; 46:11 yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it! 48:12, 15

Implying something surprising or unexpected, even, indeed:

• Job 14:3; 15:4

וְאַף and also:

• Leviticus 26:39, 40, 42, 44
• Deuteronomy 15:17
• Habakkuk 2:15
• Psalm 68:19
• 1 Chronicles 8:32 = 9:38
• 2 Chronicles 12:5
• Nehemiah 2:18; 13:15
• And even Job 19:4 וְאַף אִמְּנָם שָׁגִיתִי and even indeed (if) I have erred...

With הֲ, הַאַף indeed...? really...? :

• Genesis 18:13, 23 wilt thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24
• Amos 2:11
• Job 34:17; 40:8

In contrast to a preceding thought (expressed or implied) but, nay (imo):

• Psalm 44:10; 58:3
• Compare Judges 5:29

2. A Fortiori Usage

(Equally in prose and poetry) with reference to a preceding sentence, yea, a fortiori, the more so (= how much more! after an affirmative clause; = how much less! after a negative one):

• 2 Samuel 4:10 f. when one told me, Saul is dead... I took hold of him and slew him... how much more (should I do so when wicked men have slain a righteous person, etc.!
• Ezekiel 14:21 (Ewald, Hitzig); 15:5
• Proverbs 21:27 (in all these passages כִּי = when)
• Job 4:19

So וְאַף:

• 1 Samuel 23:3
• 2 Kings 5:13... וְאַף כִּי אָמַר אֵלֶיךָ and the more (= and how much rather), when he hath said to thee, etc.

More commonly in this sense strengthened by כִּי (q.v.), see below אַף כִּי:

• Furthermore Ezekiel 23:40; Habakkuk 2:5 (Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar¹ quin imo, quin etiam)

3. In Questions

In a question, indeed (is it) that...? :

• Genesis 3:1 אַף כִּי אָמַר אֱלֹהִים indeed, that God has said...? i.e. has God really said...? (compare הַאַף above)

4. With Reference to Preceding Sentence

With reference to a preceding sentence (which is often introduced by הֵן or הִנֵּה), yea, that...! i.e. how much more (or less)! :

• Proverbs 11:31 lo, the righteous is recompensed in the earth... 'tis indeed that (= how much more) the wicked and the sinner!
• Proverbs 15:11; 17:7; 19:7, 10
• Job 9:14; 15:16; 25:6
• 1 Samuel 14:30
• 1 Kings 8:27 (= 2 Chronicles 6:18) lo, the heavens... cannot contain thee... 'tis indeed that this house (cannot do so), i.e. how much less this house!
• 2 Chronicles 32:15

So וְאַף כִּי:

• Deuteronomy 31:27
• 1 Samuel 21:6 (perhaps; but see Robertson Smith Semitic i. 436, Driver, Smend 293)
• 2 Samuel 16:11

(In Job 35:14 (Hitzig, Delitzsch) Nehemiah 9:18 אַף כִּי is simply = yea, when...)

אַפַּד (existence and meaning dubious; Thes MV and others identify with אָפַד gird on, but this denominative see below; Lagarde Bildung der Nomina 178; Gesenius 1890, p. 15 proposes ܐܠܗܐ, come as ambassador, as root of אֵפוֹד).

אַף conjunction also (Biblical Hebrew אַף; Egyptian Aramaic, Palmyrene אף (Sachau Pap. Lidzbarski 224); Old Persian אַף, Old Persian J אוֹף; Syriac ܒܪ; — also, always וְאַף Daniel 6:23; Ezra 5:10, 14; 6:5.

ב

bə

Definition

in, by

Root

A primitive particle; a prefix

Exhaustive

(beth) — in / within / by means of

Core value: interiority, enclosure, participation

ב does not primarily mean “in time” (“when”) or even “in space.” It marks being inside a domain, whether that domain is:
- spatial (house, land),
- conceptual (wisdom, covenant),
- modal (strength, fear),
- instrumental (by means of).
Aonically, ב marks immersion.
not “when X happened” but “within the state or field of X.”
This is why ב־יום does not need to mean “on the day (chronological)” but “within the day-realm / condition”.
