5. Metaph. together with = in spite of, notwithstanding Neh 5:18 וְעִם זֶה (compare WAG ii. § 57; in Hebrew בְּ is the more usual synonym). — In 1Sam 16:12 אַדְמֹנִי עִם יְפֵה עֵינַיִם (compare 1Sam 17:42 עִם יְפֵה מַרְאֶה), if text correct, יפה must be a neuter substantive, with beauty of eyes; but read probably (Gr Bu) עֶלֶם a youth (1Sam 17:56; 1Sam 20:22) for עם (see HPS; CheExpos. T. x. 521 אַדְמֹנִי עֶצֶם, compare Lam 4:7). מֵעִם72 from with or beside (= παρὰ with a genitive: compare מֵאֵת): hence
