ב — בּוֹר²

ב

ב, בּ Bêth, 2nd letter; post Biblical Hebrew = numeral 2 (and so in margin of printed MT); ב̈̈ = 2000; no evidence of this usage in OT times.

I. בְּ prep. in (Moab. בּ, Syriac ܒ, Arabic ب, Ethiopic በ ) before tone-syllables in certain cases (Ges^{§ 102. 2}) בָּ, with suff. בִּי; בְּךָ (Ex 7:29 Kt. 2 S 22:30 ψ 141:8 בְּכָה), in pause and fem. בָּךְ; בּוֹ (once, Je 17:24 Kt בֹּה), בָּהּ; בָּנוּ; בָּכֶם, [בָּכֶן]; בָּהֶם, בָּם [also בָּהֵ֫מָּה †Ex 30:4; 36:1 Hb 1:16], בָּהֶן †1 S 31:7 Is 38:16 Ez 42:14 [15 times בָּהֵן (Fr^{MM 235}), and thrice, Lv 5:22 Nu 13:19 Je 5:17, בָּהֵ֫נָּה]. Prep. denoting properly in, Gk. ἐν, but applied in many derived and fig. significations. The senses expressed by בְּ are grouped by the Rabbis in three classes, בֵּית הַכְּלִי Beth vasculi, בֵּית הַדִּיבִּוּק וְהַנְּגִיעָה Beth coniunctionis et viciniae, בֵּית הָעֵזֶר Beth auxilii; and the same arrangement may be followed here, though the limits between the three classes are not clearly defined, and they sometimes overlap one another.
I. In: 1. strictly, of position in a place (which often is expressed more precisely by בְּקֶרֶב, בְּתוֹךְ) as בַּבַּיִת in the house, בָּעִיר in the city, בַּדּוּד in the pot, בָּאָרֶץ in the land, etc. constantly. Heb. idiom also says בָּהָר in the mountain Ex 24:18 etc., even in cases where we could hardly avoid saying on, as 1 K 11:7; 19:11: so בְּחֹרֵב Dt 1:6 al.; בְּרֹאשׁ הָהָר Ex 24:17 ψ 72:16. Preceded by a verb of motion (especially עָבַר) בְּ = through, as Gn 12:6 and Abram passed through בָּאָרֶץ in the land = passed through it, 13:17 2 S 24:2 +; in (= through) a gate, Is 62:10 Je 17:19 Mi 2:13. Fig. to speak בְּאָזְנֵי in the ears of …; to be good (or evil, etc.) בְּעֵינֵי in the eyes of … 2. of presence in the midst of a multitude, among Ex 14:28 there was not left בָּהֶם among them even one, Lv 26:36 2 S 15:31 Ahitophel בַּקּשְׁרִים is among the conspirators, 2 K 18:5 בְּכֹל מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה. So בְּךָ in thee (of Israel, coll.) Dt 7:14; 15:4, 7; 18:10; 23:11; 28:54 (diff. from עִמָּ֑ךְ beside thee Lv 25:35).—Spec. a. of an individ., implying eminency among: Jos 14:15 Je 46:18 Tabor among the mountains, 49:15 Pr 30:30 Ct 1:8 הַיָּפָה בַנָּשִׁים the fair one (= the fairest) among women, La 1:1: cf. Luke 1:42. On 1 S 17:12 v. Dr. b. hence with some verbs, when the action refers to only a part of the object, as הִכָּהַ בְּ to smite among … i.e. to smite some of … 2 S 2:31; cf. הָפַךְ בְּ Am 4:11; הָרַג בְּ ψ 78:31; נָשָׂא בְּ to bear in, i.e. to share in bearing, Nu 11:17 al.; בָּנָה בְּ to build in or at Zc 6:15 Ne 4:4; עָשָׂה בְּ Ex 5:9; עָמַל בְּ to toil on Jon 4:10 ψ 127:1; אָכַל בְּ, שָׁתָה בְּ to eat or drink of Ju 13:16 Pr 9:5; חָלַק בְּ to give a share in Jb 39:17. c. specifying the parts of which a whole consists (especially in P) Gn 7:21; 8:17; 9:10, 16; 17:23 Ex 12:19 Nu 31:11, 26 Ho 4:3. 3. with ref. to the limits enclosing a space, within: Ex 20:10 בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ within thy gates, Is 56:5 בְּחוֹמֹתַי within my walls. 4. often pregn. with verbs of motion, when the movement to a place results in rest in it, into: after בָּא Gn 19:8 Is 19:23; נָתַן Gn 27:17; שָׁלַח to send Lv 16:22; in among Jos 23:7, 12 1 K 11:2.—Ho 12:7 (an extreme case) שׁוּב בְּ to return (and rest) in thy God, 1 S 16:3 (unless לַזָּבַ֑ח should be read, as v 5).—עַיִן בְּעַיִן (with) eye (looking) into eye †Nu 14:14 Is 52:8; פָּנִים בְּפָנִים †Dt 5:4; עֵינֵי פְ׳ בְּ the eyes of … are upon, both in favourable (Dt 11:12 ψ 101:6) and hostile (Am 9:8 Jb 7:8) sense. 5. applied to time, as Gn 1:1 בְּרֵאשִׁית in the beginning; 2:2 בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי on the seventh day (v. יוֹם 7 g); Ju 10:8 בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא in that year; & constantly. 6. of a state or condition, whether material or mental, in which an action takes place: so בְּשָׁלוֹם in peace Gn 15:15; בַּצָּרָה ψ 81:8 בְּצָ׳ 91:15 in distress; הָלַךְ בְּתֻמּוֹ to walk in his integrity Pr 28:6; Ex 5:19 בְּרָע in evil case. 7. בְּ introduces the predicate, denoting it as that in which the subj. consists, or in which it shews itself (the Beth essentiae,—common in Arabic, especially with a ptcp. or adj. and in a negative sentence: Qor 2:79 وَمَا آللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ and God (appears) not as one remiss; 2:7 وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ and they are not believers [comp. French en—en honnête homme]; v. W^{AG ii. § 56 a}): viz. a. a primary pred., Ex 18:4 the God of my fathers בְּעֶזְרִי was my help, ψ 146:5 Ho 13:9 (read כִּי מִי בְעֶזְרֶֽךָ ׃ with 𝔊 𝔖 Che al.); ψ 68:5 בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ his name consists in Yah, Jb 23:13; 37:10. With the pred. in the pl. (as pl. maj.) ψ 118:7 י׳ בְּעֹזְרָ֑י J. is my great helper, 54:5 (v. Che), Ju 11:35. b. a secondary pred., Ex 6:3 and I appeared unto them בְּאֵל שַׁדָּ֑י as God Almighty, Nu 26:53 בְּנַחֲלָה as an inheritance, 34:2; Ez 46:16: 47:14 Dt 10:22; 26:14 I have not put away therefrom בְּטָמֵא as one unclean = while unclean, 28:62 Is 40:10 בְּחָזָק יָבוֹא he cometh as a strong one, ψ 35:2 (where v. De) and rise up as my help, v 16, 39:7; 55:19; Pr 3:26; Jb 36:32 (De); cf. Dt 33:26; 1 S 17:11; Na 3:9. c. a pred. as accus., Dt 1:13 וַאֲשִׂימֵם בְּרָאשֵׁיכֶם that I may make them heads over you; Jos 21:12; Ez 20:41; Nu 18:26; 36:2; Jos 13:6, 7; 23:4; Ez 45:1; 47:22^(×2) (read יַפִּלוּ) 48:29 (v. 𝔊 Co) all בְּנַחֲלָה (cf. b.), ψ 78:55 & allotted it בְּחֶבֶל נַחֲלָה as a line of inheritance (i.e. as a measured inheritance). Is 26:4 כִּי בְּיָהּ יהוה צוּר עוֹלָמִים י׳ is different—for in Yah there is a rock of ages (cf. Qor 4:7, 47 there is sufficiency in God as a patron). d. in comparisons, ψ 37:20 consume away בֶּעָשָׁן in the form of, as, smoke 78:33; 102:4; Jb 34:36; 36:14.
II. Denoting proximity— 1. at, by (rare): Dt 2:4 1 S 29:1 בָּעַיִן by the spring; Ez 10:15, 20 בִּנְהַר כְּבָר by the river Chebar (1:3 עַל) ψ 27:6. 2. on: Gn 8:20 Nu 23:2 בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ on the altar; Ju 8:21 on the necks of the camels; 1 K 2:5 al. בְּמָתְנָיו on his loins; Is 59:17 a helmet בְּרֹאשׁוֹ on his head. 3. often with verbs of touching, approaching, taking hold of, cleaving, etc., as אָחַז, דָּבֵק, חָשַׁק, נָגַע, נָגַשׁ, קָרַב, פָּגַּע, תָּמַךְ, תָּפַשׂ (see these words). 4. with words expressing or implying an act of hostility— a. against: Gn 16:12 יָדוֹ בַכֹּל וְיַד כֹּל בּוֹ his hand against all, and the hand of all against him; הָֽיְתָה יַד פְּ׳ בּ Dt 13:10; 1 S 5:9; 18:17 + often Hence after verbs (q.v.) of fighting (נִלְחַם, רִיב), going up to invade (עָלָה), being angry (הִתְעַבֵּר, אָנַף, חָרָה אַף), sinning or acting treacherously (חָטָא, בָּגַד, מָרַד, מָרָה, מָעַל, פָּשַׁע, שִׁקֵּר, כִּזֵּב, כִּחֵשׁ), testifying (עָנָה, הֵעִיד), mocking (הִלְעִיג, הֵתֵל), feeling loathing (קוּץ), rebuking (גָּעַר: proposes to protest loudly), speaking (דִּבֶּר: Nu 12:8b), etc., & even (an extreme case) Ho 7:14 יָסוּרוּ בִי they turn aside (so as to be) against me. In a weaker sense מַשְׁתִּין בַּקִּיר mingens ad parietem 1 S 25:22 al. b. down to, upon (super with accus.), especially in such phrases as דָּמָיו בּוֹ Lv 20:9 al. his blood be upon him; דָּמוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ his blood be upon his head Jos 2:19; שׁוּב (הֵשִׁיב י׳) בְּרֹאשׁוֹ Ju 8:57 (רָעָה), 1 K 2:33 (דָּם), v 44 (רָעָה), ψ 7:17 (עֲמָלוֹ); נָתַן דֶּרֶךְ פּ׳ בְּרֹאשׁוֹ 1 K 8:32 & often in Ez, as 9:10; 11:21.
III. 1. With— a. of accompaniment: Nu 20:20 בְּעַם כָּבֵד with much people, Jos 22:8; Ju 11:34; 1 K 10:2; 2 K 5:9; Je 41:15; Ex 21:22 and he shall give בִּפְלִלִים with arbitrators (arbitrators being employed), Is 8:16 בְּלִמֻּדָֽי׃ with my disciples, i.e. in their presence; Ex 8:1, 13 Je 11:19 עֵץ בְּלַחְמוֹ a tree with its sap (s. לֵחַ); 1 K 19:19 וְהוּא בִּשְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר and he with the 12th. b. often of what one takes or brings with one: Gn 32:11 בְּמַקְלִי with my staff I passed over Jordan, Ju 11:34; 15:1; 1 S 1:24; Is 7:24; Mi 6:6 al. קִדֵּם בְּ to go to meet with; בָּא בְּ to come with Lv 16:3 ψ 66:13; 71:16. (In Arabic this usage is developed more fully than in Hebrew, and أَتَى بِ lit. to come with, ذَهَبَ بِ lit. to go away with, are used idiomatically in the sense of to bring, and to take away respectively: W^{AG ii. § 56 b}.) Hence בְּאֵין, בְּאֶפֶס, בִּבְלִי, בְּלֹא = without. c. of concomitant (or surrounding) conditions, as בְּחִפָּזוֹן with (or in) haste; בְּצֶדֶק with (or in) righteousness; בִּשְׁגָגָה in error; בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר 2 S 6:15; often in such phrases as בְּצִדְקָֽתְךָ ψ 31:2 in thy righteousness; בְּחַסְדְּךָ in thy mercy Ex 15:13;—בְּאָשְׁרִי with my happiness! = happy am I Gn 30:13; ψ 29:4 the voice of י׳ is בַּכֹּחַ with power = is powerful; Ex 32:12 בְּרָעָה with evil purpose; ψ 73:8 בְרָע in wickedness; 90:10 בִּגְבוּרֹת with strength. 2. of the instrument or means: as a. בַּחֶרֶב with the sword Ex 5:3 etc.; בְּרַגְלַיִם with the feet Is 28:3; בְּיַד … by the hand of … (v. sub יָד); to stone בְּאֶבֶן or בָּֽאֲבָנִים with stones Lv 20:2; Nu 14:10 etc.; שָׁתָה בְּ to drink with a cup Gn 44:5; Am 6:6 (cf. in Aramaic Dn 5:2); to cry בְּגָרוֹן with the throat Is 58:1; to burn בָּאֵשׁ in or with fire (often); to slay or to perish בָּרָעָב through hunger or בַּדֶּבֶר through pestilence Ex 16:3; Je 21:9 + often (cf. Jb 27:15 בַּמָּוֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ); to save with or by Ju 7:7; 1 S 14:6. b. idiom., with certain verbs, as שָׁחַק בְּ to play with Jb 40:29; עָבַד בְּ to labour with a person (as with an instrument), i.e. to use him as a slave Ex 1:14; Je 22:13; 27:7 al.; עָשָׂה בְּ Je 18:23; Ne 9:24; Dn 11:7; Est 1:15; 2:11; 3:11; 6:6; & perhaps דִּבֶּר בְּ (of God) to speak with one Nu 12:2, 8a al. (v. Ew^{§ 217 f. (3)}; Dr^{Sm ii. 23, 2}). Further בַּבַּעַל, הִתְנַבֵּא ביהוה to prophesy with or by י׳ or Baal, י׳ or Baal being the inspirer; שָׁאַל בְּ, דָּרַשׁ to inquire or ask by means of a god (or oracle). c. ביהוה through י׳ (= by His aid) in many connexions, as ψ 18:30; 44:6; 56:5, 11; 60:14 Is 26:13; 45:25 Ho 1:7 Zc 10:12; with pass. verbs Dt 33:29 Is 45:17 (to be saved): and even of the immediate cause Nu 36:2 to be commanded ביהוה by י׳, Gn 9:6 בָּאָדָם by man shall his blood be shed; cf. Ho 6:5; 12:14; 14:4 Jb 27:15. d. allied is the use of בְּ in such phrases as to bless, swear, speak, prophesy, etc., בְּשֵׁם in the name of … (i.e. the name being used or appealed to in the act) Dt 6:13 Je 11:21, etc. (so to swear ביהוה by י׳ Jos 2:12 etc., בִּימִינוֹ Is 62:8; to bless בְּךָ with thee Gn 48:20, to swear with me ψ 102:9, i.e. using my name in oath, Je 29:22); almost = in the authority and power of 1 S 17:45; 25:5; 1 K 21:8; Mi 4:5; Zc 10:12; ψ 20:6; 44:6; 89:25. e. בַּמָּה or בַּמֶּה by means of what? how? Gn 15:8; Ju 6:15; 16:5, 6, 10; 1 K 22:21; Mal 2:17. בְּזֹאת by means of this Gn 42:15, 33; Ex 7:17; Nu 16:28; with this = on this condition Gn 34:15, 22 1 S 11:2; Is 27:9. 3. of cost or price (the Beth pretii), the price, whether given or received, being treated as the instrumental means by which the act is accomplished, with, for, at the cost of: thus regularly a. with שָׂכַר hire Gn 30:16, פָּדָה redeem Ex 34:20, אֵרֵשׂ betroth 2 S 3:14, קָנָה buy 2 S 24:24; 1 K 2:23 בְּנַפְשׁוֹ at the cost of his life hath A. spoken this word, 2 S 23:17 who went בְּנַפְשׁתָם at peril of their lives, Pr 7:23; La 5:9; Jos 6:26 בִּבְכֹרוֹ יְיַסְּדֶנָּה at the price of his firstborn shall he lay its foundations, 1 Ch 12:19 בְּרָאֹשֵׁינוּ to the jeopardy of our heads he will fall away, etc. b. with מָכַר sell Dt 21:14; עָבַד serve Gn 29:18, 20; Ho 12:13; הֵמִיר exchange Lv 27:10; Ho 4:7 their glory I will exchange for ignominy, ψ 106:20; נָתַן בְּנֶשֶׁךְ to give for interest Lv 25:37; ψ 15:5; in other connexions Gn 23:9; 47:16 f.; Is 45:13; La 1:11; Ct 8:7, 11; Dt 19:21 נֶפֶשׁ בְּנֶפֶשׁ עַיִן בְּעַיִן life for life, eye for eye; Is 2:22 בַּמֶּה נֶחְשָׁב הוּא at what is he to be accounted? 7:23 a thousand vines בְּאֶלֶף כָּ֑סֶף at a thousand (shekels of) silver.—Hence (perhaps) the idiom. usages שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה year for year, one year like another, yearly Dt 15:20 1 S 1:7 +; יוֹם בְּיוֹם (late), כְּיוֹם בְּיוֹם †1 S 18:10; כְּפַעַם בְּפַעַם (v. יוֹם, פַּעַם); חֹדֶשׁ בְּהֹדֶשׁ †1 Ch 27:1. 4. rather peculiarly, in certain cases where the object of an action may be treated as the instrument by which it is effected: as הֵנִיעַ בְּרֹאֹשׁ to shake with the head ψ 109:25 Jb 16:4 (הֵנִיעַ רֹאֹשׁ ψ 22:8 La 2:15 Is 37:22); to open with the mouth Jb 16:10, with the lips ψ 22:8; to gnash with the teeth Jb 16:9 (to gnash the teeth ψ 35:16); to wink with the eye Pr 6:13 (to wink the eye, ib. 10:10); נָתַן בְּקוֹל to utter with the voice ψ 46:7; 68:34 Je 12:8 (but נָתַן קוֹל is more common); to stretch out with the hand La 1:17; הֵרִים בַּמַּטֶּה (unusual) Ex 7:20. So קָרָא בְּשֵׁם to call with the name—in diff. senses, according to the context, viz. to proclaim Ex 33:19; 34:5; Is 44:5; ψ 49:12; to invoke Gn 4:26; 12:8; 1 K 18:24—26; Is 12:4; to name honourably Is 43:1; 45:3. Cf. Ew^{§ 282 d} Ges^{§ 119. 3 b R.} W^{AG ii. § 56 b β} De Jb 31:12; Pr 20:30. 5. with a causal force, through, on account of: Gn 18:28 הֲתַשְׁחִית בַּחֲמִשָּׁה wilt thou destroy on account of five the whole city? Lv 26:39 Nu 16:26; Dt 9:4, 5; 24:16; אִישׁ בְּחֶטְאוֹ יוּמָֽתוּ׃ they shall be put to death, each because of his own sin (cf. Je 31:30; Ez 3:18, v. 18:17) 2 S 3:27; 14:7 (cf. Jon 1:14) Is 7:4 (‖ מִן) 28:7 (‖ מִן) 50:1; 53:5; 57:17; Je 51:46; ψ 5:8, 11; 6:8 (‖ מִן) 31:10; 32:3; 42:10; 90:9; 94:23. So in בַּאֲשֶׁר, בִּגְלַל (v. אֲשֶׁר, גָּלָל), & (sometimes) in בִּדְבַר at, through, the word of.… 6. of the material with which a work is wrought, both absol. עָשָׁה בַזָּהָב to work with gold Ex 31:4; 1 K 7:14; and to make a thing with (in our idiom, of) gold Ex 38:8; Ez 7:20; 1 K 15:22 (בָּנָה). Without a verb Lv 13:52; 2 Ch 9:18. 7. with for although, in spite of (cf. Germ. bei alle dem): Lv 26:27; Nu 14:11 בְּכֹל הָאֹתוֹת in spite of all the signs that I have wrought, Dt 1:32; Is 47:9; ψ 27:3; especially in the phrase בְּכָל־זֹאת for all this Is 5:25; 9:11, 16, 20; 10:4; ψ 78:32 al. (Cf. in Arabic بِمَا Qor 9:25.) 8. of a standard of measurement or computation, with, by: Ex 12:4 בְּמִכְסַת נְפָשֹׁת by the computation of souls; Lv 5:25 al. בְּעֶרְכְּךָ by thy reckoning; Ez 4:10; בְּמִסְפָּר by number Dt 25:2 +; בְּמִסְפַּר … by the number of … Lv 25:15, 50; Nu 1:2, etc.; בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ Ex 30:13 al. (in P); בָּאַמָּה often (v. אַמָּה); Dt 3:11 בְּאַמַּת אִישׁ by the cubit of a man; 2 S 14:26 בְּאֶבֶן הַמֶּלֶךְ. Of a model, Gn 1:26 בְּצַלְמֵנוּ in our image, 5:1, 3; Ex 25:40; בְּדֶרֶךְ with the way (= in the manner) of … Is 10:24, 26; Am 4:10.
IV. בְּ is used also with certain classes of verbs, though the explanation of its use may be sometimes doubtful: viz. a. with verbs of taking refuge, trusting, relying, as הֶאֱמִין, בָּטַח, חָסָה, נִשְׁעַן. b. with verbs of ruling, governing, restraining, as מָלַךְ, מָשַׁל, נָגַשׂ, עָצַר, רָדָה, שָׁלַט. c. with verbs of rejoicing, feeling pleasure or satisfaction, etc., as גִּיל, עָלַץ, שׂוּשׂ, שָׂמֵחַ, חָפֵץ, רָצָה, שָׂבַע (but with this verb מִן is more common). [Prob. a case of III. 5.] d. with verbs expressive of sensible perception, to denote the pleasurable or attentive exercise of the faculty concerned, as שָׁמַע בְּ to listen to, הִבִּיט בְּ, רָאָה, חָזָה, to look upon, הֵרִיחַ בְּ to smell at (see these words). e. occasionally also with verbs of speaking, thinking, mentioning, knowing, to denote the object of the action, as דִּבֶּר בְּ to speak about Dt 6:7; ψ 87:3 al. (v. sub דִּבֶּר); הִלֵּל בְּ, הָגָה, שִׂיחַ ψ 44:9; 63:7; 69:13; יָדַע Je 38:24; זָכַר once Je 3:16, הִזְכִּיר often; ψ 71:6 בְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי of thee is my praise.
V. Followed by an inf. c., בְּ forms a periphrasis for the gerund, though in English it is commonly to be rendered by a verb and conj., viz.:— 1. as a temporal conj., as Gn 2:4 בְּהִבָּֽרְאָם in their being created = when they were created, 4:8 בִּהְיוֹתָם in their being (= when they were) in the field; and constantly. Sometimes it has in appearance the force of after that, as Gn 33:18 Ex 3:12; 13:17; but as a rule this is really due to the action denoted by the inf. being treated as extending over a period within which the action of the principal verb takes place: so especially in the phrase בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם, even of events at the close of the 40 years, Dt 4:45; 23:5 Jos 5:4; the whole period being treated as that in which Egypt was left (comp. 2 K 2:1, where the time included is future). Cases, however, occur in which this explanation will hardly apply, as Dt 27:4, 12. 2. as a causal conj. (cf. above iii. 5), as Gn 19:16 בְּחֶמְלַת י׳ עָלָיו through J.’s having compassion upon him, Ex 16:7; 33:16; 34:29 Dt 1:27 בְּשִׂנְאַת י׳ אֹתָנוּ through J.’s hating us, etc. (9:28 similarly מִן), 1 K 18:18 (= in that ye have …) Ez 9:8; 43:8; 44:7 2 Ch 28:6. 3. as a concessive conj., when = though: Is 1:15 ψ 46:3 בְּהָמִיר אָ֑רֶץ though the earth do change.
Note. —Ex 10:12 בָּאַרְבֶּה can only be rendered ‘with the locusts,’ the locusts being conceived as implicit in Moses’ uplifted hand: but prob. לָאַרְבֶּה should be read. Thrice in late Heb. בְּ is used peculiarly: 1 Ch 7:23 for with misfortune was it in his house (בְּרָעָה chosen for the purpose of explaining בְּרִיעָה); 9:33 עֲלֵיהֶם בַּמְּלָאכָה it devolved upon them with the work; Ezr 3:3 for with terror (was it) upon them from the peoples of the countries (the sentence without a verb as often in Chr.: Dr^{Intr. 504 f.}): cf. 8:34. Comp. Ew^{§ 295 f.}
