אֲשֶׁר particle of relation (Moabite id.; origin dubious:
1. according to Tsepreghi
Diss. Lugd. p. 171 Mühlau
Bö. Lb. ii. 79 n. StaMorg. Forsch. 1875, 188; Lb. § 167 HomZMG 1878, 708 ff. Müll§ 153 SayceHebraica. ii. 51 LagM. i. 255 & especially
KraeHebraica. vi. 298 ff, originally a substantive 'place' =
footstep, mark,
(do.),
אֲתַר,
place, Assyrian
ašru, used (see
Kraetz.) both as a substantive 'there, where,' and as a relative of place 'where': in Hebrew this development has advanced further, and it has become a relative sign generally. The chief objection to this explanation is that it would isolate Hebrew from the other Semitic languages, in which pronouns are formed regularly from
demonstrative roots (compare also
NöZMG 1886, 738).
2. according to
PhiSt. C. 73 Sperling
Nota Rel. im Hebr. 1876, 15-22 for
אֲשֶׁל, developed from the relative
שׁ (q. v.) by (1) the prefixing of either a merely prosthetic
א, or, better, a pronominal
א (giving rise to
אש, the form of the relative in Phoenician), and (2) the addition of the demonstrative root
ל [found also in
אֵל,
אֵלָּה,
הַלָּזֶה (q. v.),
he who,
who (plural)]: the main objection to this explanation is the change of
ל to
ר, which is hardly rendered probable by the compare of Syriac
by side of
ᵑ7 הָלְכָּא.
1 seems preferable, the primitive root having acquired different significations in the different Semitic languages, and having been weakened in Hebrew to a mere particle of relation). A sign of relation, bringing the clause introduced by it into relation with an antecedent clause. As a rule אֲשֶׁר is a mere connecting link, and requires to be supplemented (see the grammars) by a pronominal affix, or other word, such as שָׁם, defining the nature of the relation more precisely: e.g. Gen 1:11 אֲשֶׁר זַרֵעוֺבֿוֺ literally as to which, its seed is in it = in which is its seed, Ps 1:4 like the chaff אֲשֶׁרתִּֿדְּפֶנּוּ רוּחַ as to which, the wind drives it = which the wind drives, etc.; & so אֲשֶׁרשָׁ֗֗֗ם = where, אֲשֶׁרמִ֗֗֗שָּׁם = whence, Gen 2:11; Gen 3:23; Gen 20:13 etc. Sometimes also (see below) the relation expressed by it is specifically temporal, local causal, etc. More particularly 1. it includes its pronominal antecedent, whether in the nominative or oblique cases, as
Num 22:6 וַאֲשֶׁר תָּאֹר יוּאָר and
he whom thou cursest is cursed,
Exod 4:12 and I will teach thee
אֲשֶׁר תְּדַבֵּר that which thou shalt say; and with particles or prepositions, as
אֵת אֲשֶׁר (according to the context)
him who . . ., those who . . ., that which . . .;
לַאֲשֶׁר to
him who . . . Gen 43:16, to
those who . . . Gen 47:24, to
that which Gen 27:8 מֵאֲשֶׁר Judg 16:30;
2Sam 18:18 than those whom;
Lev 27:24 לַאֲשֶׁר קָנָהוּ מֵאִתּוֺ to him from whom he bought it,
Num 5:7;
Isa 24:2 כַּאֲשֶׁר נשֶׁא בוֺ like him against whom there is a creditor.
2. instances of
אֲשֶׁר followed by a pronominal affix, or by
שָׁם,
שָֽׁמָּה,
מִשָּׁם, are so common that the examples cited above will be sufficient. Very rarely there occurs the anomalous construction
עִם אֲשֶׁר Gen 31:32 for
אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֺ (see
Gen 44:9),
בַּאֲשֶׁר Isa 47:12 for
אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם,
לַאֲשֶׁר for
אֲשֶׁרלָ֗֗֗הֶם Ezek 23:40:
Ps 119:49 see under
על אשׁר. It is followed by the pronoun in the
nominative, in the following cases: —
(
a) immediately, mostly before an adjective or participle,
Gen 9:3 all moving things
אֲשֶׁר הוּאחַֿי which are living,
Lev 11:26;
Num 9:13;
Num 14:8;
Num 14:27;
Num 35:31;
Deut 20:20;
1Sam 10:19 (see
Dr)
2Kgs 25:19 (||
Jer 52:25 היה)
Jer 27:9;
Ezek 43:19;
Hag 1:9;
Ruth 4:15;
Neh 2:18;
Eccl 7:26 before a verb
2Kgs 22:13 (omitted
2Chr 34:21).
(
b) in a
negative sentence, at the end:
Gen 7:2;
Gen 17:12;
Num 17:5;
Deut 17:15 אֲשֶׁר לֹא אָחִיךָ הוּא who is not thy brother,
Deut 20:15;
Judg 19:12;
1Kgs 8:41 ||
1Kgs 9:20 ||.
3. sometimes (though rarely) the defining adjunct is a pronoun of 1 or 2 person as well as of 3 person. In such cases it is strictly to be rendered
I who . . ., thou who, etc.;
Hos 14:4 אֲשֶׁרבְּֿךָ יְרֻחַם יָתוֺם thou by whom the fatherless is compassionated !
Jer 31:32 I, whose covenant they brake,
Jer 32:19;
Isa 49:23;
Job 37:17f.
thou whose garments are warm . . ., canst thou ? etc.,
Ps 71:19;
Ps 71:20;
Ps 144:12 we whose sons, etc.,
Ps 139:15 my frame was not hidden from thee,
אֲ֯שֶׁרעֻֿשֵּׂיתִי בַסֵּתֶר I who was wrought in secret (=
though I was wrought in secret),
Exod 14:13 for
ye who have seen the Egyptians to-day, — ye shall not see them again for ever! (compare
Ps 41:9).
4. the defining pron. adjunct is
dispensed with —
a. when
אֲשֶׁר represents the simple subject of a sentence, or the direct object of a verb: so constantly, as
Gen 2:1 the work
אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה which he made,
Gen 3:3 the tree
אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֺךְ הַגָּן which is in the midst of the garden, etc.
b. after words denoting time, place, or manner, so that
אֲשֶׁר then becomes equivalent to
when, where, why: (
a)
Gen 6:4 אַחֲרֵי כֵן אֲשֶׁר afterwards,
when, etc. (compare
2Chr 35:20)
Gen 45:6 there are still 5 years
אֲשֶׁר אֵין חָרִישׁ when there shall be no plowing,
Josh 14:10;
1Kgs 22:25 after
יוֺם or
הַיּוֺם Deut 4:10;
Judg 4:14;
1Sam 24:5 (see
Dr)
2Sam 19:25;
Jer 20:14 and elsewhere; similarly
Gen 40:13. (
β)
Gen 35:13 בַּמָּקוֺם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִתּוֺ in the place
where he spake with him, v
Gen 35:14;
Gen 39:20;
Num 13:27;
Num 22:26;
Deut 1:31 in the desert which thou sawest,
where (accents
Ke Di),
Deut 8:15;
1Kgs 8:9 (unless
לוּחוֺת הַבְּרִית has here fallen out: see
ᵐ5 &
Deut 9:9)
Isa 55:11;
Isa 64:10;
Ps 84:4. So (
γ) in
אֶל אֲשֶׁר to (the place)
which (or
whither)
Exod 32:34;
Ruth 1:16 אֶלכָּֿלאֲֿשֶׁר to every (place)
whither Josh 1:16;
Prov 17:8 בַּאֲשֶׁר in (the place)
where Judg 5:27;
Judg 17:8;
Judg 17:9;
1Sam 23:13;
2Kgs 8:1;
Ruth 1:16;
Ruth 1:17;
Job 39:30, once only with
שָׁם Gen 21:17 בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר wheresoever Josh 1:7;
Josh 1:9;
Judg 2:15;
1Sam 14:47;
1Sam 18:5;
2Sam 7:7;
2Kgs 18:7 מֵאֲשֶׁר from (the place)

Ruth 2:9 עַלאֲֿשֶׁר to (the place)
whither (or

2Sam 15:20;
1Kgs 18:12 עַלכָּֿלאֲֿשֶׁר Jer 1:7. (
δ)
זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר ֗֗֗ this is the reason
that or
why . . . Josh 5:4;
1Kgs 11:27.
c. more extreme instances
Lev 14:22;
Lev 14:30;
Lev 14:31;
Num 6:21;
Deut 7:19 (wherewith),
Deut 28:20;
1Sam 2:32 (wherein),
1Kgs 2:26;
Judg 8:15 (about whom),
Isa 8:12 (where
יאמר would be followed normally by
לוֺ),
Isa 31:6 turn ye to (him as to) whom they have deeply rebelled,
Isa 47:15;
Zeph 3:11;
Eccl 3:9;
1Kgs 14:19 (= how).
d. it is dispensed with only in appearance after
ׅ׳אֲשֶׁר אָמַר (אָמַרְתִּי וג followed by the words used, its place being really taken by a pronoun in the speech which follows, as
Gen 3:17 the tree
as to which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat
from it,
Exod 22:8;
Deut 28:68;
Judg 7:4 (
זֶה)
Judg 8:15 (where the noun repeated takes the place of the pronoun, compare
Deut 9:2)
1Sam 9:17 (
זֶה):23 +; compare
2Sam 11:16;
2Kgs 17:12;
2Kgs 21:4.
7. ׳אֲשֶׁר ל that (belongs, belong,
belonged) to, is used
a. either alone or preceded by
כָּלֿ to express
(all) that (belongs) to, as
Gen 14:23 מִכָּלאֲֿשֶׁרלְֿךָ of all that is
thine,
Gen 31:1 מֵאֲשֶׁר לְאָבִינוּ of
that which was our father's,
Gen 32:24 & sent over
אֶתאֲֿשֶׁרלֿוֺ that which he had, + often
b. as a circumlocution of the genitive, as
Gen 29:9 עִםהַֿצּאֹן אֲשֶׁר לְאָבִיהָ with the sheep
that were her father's,
Gen 40:5;
Gen 47:4;
Lev 9:8;
Judg 6:11;
1Sam 25:7 הָרֹעִים אֲשֶׁרלְֿךָ,
2Sam 14:31 אֶתהַֿחֶלְקָה אֲשֶׁרלִֿי,
2Sam 23:8;
1Kgs 1:8;
1Kgs 1:33 עַל הַפִּרְדָּה אֲשֶׁרלִֿי upon mine own mule, v
1Kgs 1:49;
1Kgs 4:2;
2Kgs 11:10;
2Kgs 16:13;
Ruth 2:21 and especially in the case of a compound expression depending on a single genitive, as
Gen 23:9;
Gen 40:5;
Gen 41:43 מִרְכֶּבֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה אֲשֶׁרלֿוֺ the chariot of the second rank
which he had,
Exod 38:30;
Judg 3:20;
Judg 6:25;
1Sam 17:40;
1Sam 21:8 אֲבִיר הָרֹעִים אֲשֶׁר לְשָׁאוּל the mightiest of
Saul's herdmen,
1Sam 24:5 אֶתכְּֿנַףהַֿמְּעִיל אֲשֶׁרלְֿשָׁאוּל,
2Sam 2:8 Saul's captain of the host,
1Kgs 10:28;
1Kgs 15:20;
1Kgs 22:31;
Jer 52:17;
Ruth 4:3.
c. with names of places (especially such as do not readily admit the stative construct)
Judg 18:28;
Judg 19:14 הַגִּבְעָה אֲשֶׁר לְבִנְיָמִין Gibeah (the hill) of Benjamin,
Judg 20:4;
1Sam 17:1;
1Kgs 15:27;
1Kgs 16:15;
1Kgs 17:9;
1Kgs 19:3;
2Kgs 14:11. compare
שֶׁל (q. v.) which in
Rabb, like the Aramaic -
דִּיל,
, is in habitual use as a mark of the genitive. —
N.B. In Aramaic also
דּי,
, without
ל, expresses the genitive relation, as
מִלְּתָא דִימַֿלְכָּא, literally the word,
that of the king = the word of the king. The few apparent cases of a similar use of
אשׁר are, however, too foreign to the general usage of the language to be regarded otherwise than as due to textual error:
1Sam 13:8 read
אֲשֶׁר אָמַר (or
שָׂם Exod 19:5)
שְׁמוּאֵל (
ᵐ5 εἶπε);
1Kgs 11:25 supply
עָשָׂה (
ᵐ5 ἣν ἐποίησεν);
2Kgs 25:10 supply
אֵת with (as ||
Jer 52:14);
2Chr 34:22 read
וַאֲשֶׁר אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ (compare
ᵐ5) and those whom the king appointed (abbreviated from
2Kgs 22:14); compare
Ew§ 292 a, b with note.
8. אֲשֶׁר becomes, like Aramaic
דּי,
, a
conjunction approximating in usage to כִּי: thus
a. = quod, ὅτι, that, subordinating an entire sentence to a verb of knowing, remembering, etc.
(a) with אֵת Deut 9:7 forget not אֵת אֲשֶׁר הִקְצַפְתָּ the fact that (= how) thou provokedst, etc., Deut 29:15; Josh 2:10; 1Sam 24:11; 1Sam 24:19; 2Sam 11:20 know ye not אֵת אֲשֶׁריֹֿרוּ how they shoot from off the wall ? 2Kgs 8:12; Isa 38:3 + often As subject (rare) 1Kgs 14:19; 2Kgs 14:15; 2Kgs 20:20. Of time (peculiarly) 2Sam 14:15 עַתָּה אֲשֶׁר now (is it) that . . . Zech 8:20 (probably) yet (shall it be) that . . . vZech 8:23 compare כִּמְעַט שֶׁ Song 3:4. (β) without אֵת (not very common, כִּי being usually employed): after יָדַע Exod 11:7; Ezek 20:26 (very strange in Ezekiel: see Hi) Job 9:5 (Ew De Di) Eccl 8:12, רָאָה Deut 1:31 (RV) 1Sam 18:15, הִתְוַדָּה to confess Lev 5:5; Lev 26:40 b, הִשְׁבִּיעַ 1Kgs 22:16 (caused to swear that . . .); after a noun Isa 38:7 הָאוֺת אֲשֶׁר the sign that . . . (|| 2Kgs 20:9 כִּי): with growing frequency in late Hebrew, 2Chr 2:7, and especially Nehemiah, Esther: Neh 2:5; Neh 2:10; Neh 7:65 (= Ezra 2:63) Neh 8:14; Neh 8:15; Neh 10:31; Neh 13:1; Neh 13:19; Neh 13:22; Neh 2:10; Neh 3:4; Neh 4:11; Neh 6:2; Neh 8:11; (מֵאֲשֶׁר) Eccl 5:4; Eccl 7:18 (with טוֺב: contrast Ruth 2:22) vRuth 2:22 vRuth 2:29; Ruth 8:12; Ruth 8:14; Ruth 9:1; Dan 1:8 (twice in verse). (γ) prefixed to a direct citation, like כִּי q. v. (= ὅτι recitativum) (rare) 1Sam 15:20; 2Sam 1:4; 2Sam 2:4 (see Dr) Ps 10:6 (probably), Neh 4:6.
b. it is resolvable into so that: Gen 11:7 אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ so that they understand not, etc., Gen 13:16; Gen 22:14 אֲשֶׁר יֵאָמֵר so that it is said, Exod 20:26; Deut 4:10; Deut 4:40 אֲשֶׁר יִיטַב לְךָ Deut 6:3; Deut 28:27; Deut 28:51; 1Kgs 3:12; 1Kgs 3:13; 2Kgs 9:37; Mal 3:19.
c. it has a causal force, forasmuch as, in that, since: Gen 30:18; Gen 31:49 and Mizpah, אֲשֶׁר אָמַר for that he said, Gen 34:13; Gen 34:27; Gen 42:21 we are guilty, אֲשֶׁר רָאִינוּ we who saw (or, in that we saw), Num 20:13 Meribah, because they strove there, Deut 3:24; Josh 4:7; Josh 4:23; Josh 22:31; Judg 9:17; 1Sam 2:23; 1Sam 15:15; 1Sam 20:42 go in peace, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ forasmuch as we have sworn, 1Sam 25:26 thou whom (= or, seeing that) ׳י hath withholden, 2Sam 2:5 blessed are ye of ׳י, אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם, who (οἵτινες) have done (or in that ye have done), 1Kgs 3:19; 1Kgs 15:5; 2Kgs 12:3; 2Kgs 17:4; 2Kgs 23:26; (Hi De Now). Here also belongs its use in אֲשֶׁר לָמָּה since why . . . ? (= lest) Dan 1:10: see below לָמָּה. On אֲשֶׁר עַל כֵּן forasmuch as Job 34:27 see below כִּי עַל כֵּן.
d. it expresses a condition (rare & peculiar): Lev 4:22 אֲשֶׁר נָשִׂיא יֶחֱטָא in (case) that = when (or if) a ruler sinneth (Lev 4:3 vLev 4:13 vLev 4:37 אִם), Num 5:29 (explained differently by Ew§ 334 a), Deut 11:27 and the blessing אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמְעוּ if ye hearken (Deut 11:28 אִם), Deut 18:22 Ges, Josh 4:21 אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁאָלוּן ֗֗֗ when they ask . . ., then . . . (Josh 4:6 כִּי), Isa 31:4. In 1Kgs 8:33 (|| 2Chr 6:24 כִּי, compare Kings v2Chr 6:35 v2Chr 6:37) אֲשֶׁר may be rendered indifferently because or when. Once, similarly, אֵת אֲשֶׁר 1Kgs 8:31 (|| אִם).
e. perhaps (exceptionally) = כַּאֲשֶׁר, as, Jer 33:22; Isa 54:9 (followed by כֵּן; but כֵּן q. v. sometimes stands without כאשׁר, & אשׁר may in these passages connect with what precedes); according to some also Jer 48:8; Ps 106:34 (in a connection where כַּאֲשֶׁר would be more usual: אֲשֶׁר may however be the object of אָמַר). In 1Sam 16:7 אֲשֶׁר יִרְאֶה הָאָדָם read כַּאֲשֶׁר, see Dr. feminine combined with prepositions, אֲשֶׁר converts them into conjunctions: see below, בַּאֲשֶׁר, כַּאֲשֶׁר, מֵאֲשֶׁר. On its use similarly with (אַחֲרֵי) אַחַר, מִבְּלִי, בַּעֲבוּר, עַל דְּבַר, יַעַן, לְמַעַן, כְּפִי, עַד, עַל, עֵקֶב, מִפְּנֵי, תַּחַת, see these words. — הַאֲשֶׁר, with ה interrogative, occurs once, 2Kgs 6:22. In Deut 15:14 also read כַּאֲשֶׁר: note ברכך before.
