2. Of a locality, close to, beside: Gen 25:11 וישׁב יצחק עם נאר לחי ראי beside the well of, etc., Gen 35:4 תַּחַת הָאֵלָה אשׁר עם שׁכם (so, after אשׁר, Josh 7:2; Judg 9:6; Judg 18:22; 2Sam 13:23), Josh 19:46 (?), Judg 18:3 הֵמָּה עִם בֵּית מִיכָה (so Judg 19:11; 2Sam 20:8), 1Sam 10:2; 2Sam 6:7 וַיָּ֫מָת ׳שָׁם עִם אֲרוֺן הא, 2Sam 19:38; 2Sam 24:16; 1Kgs 1:9; 1Chr 13:14 by the house of O., in its own house (see Be), 1Chr 21:15 (2Sam 24:16), 2Sam 26:16 (compare אֵת

  b. עִם alone, = in one's consciousness, whether of knowledge or memory or purpose (compare אֵת 3 b; WAG ii. § 66): Num 14:24 עֵקֶב הָֽיְתָה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת עִמּוֺ i.e. operating in his mind, 1Kgs 11:11 יען אשׁר היתה זאת עמך, 1Chr 28:12 the pattern of all אשׁר היה בָרוּחַ עמו that was in spirit (i.e. mentally) with him, Ps 50:11 וְזִיז שָׂדַי עִמָּדִי is with me (i.e. is known to me; || ידעתי), probably also Ps 73:23; Ps 139:18 (= in thy thought and care); Job 9:35 לא כן אנכי עמדי not so am I with myself (my consciousness — or conscience — does not tell me that I need dread him), Job 10:13 ידעתי כי זאת עמך i.e. that this was thy purpose (|| אֵלֶּה צָפַנְתָּ בִּלְבָבֶ֑ךָ), Job 15:9 ולא עמנו הוא and is not with us (= in our knowledge; || וְלֹא נֵדָ֑ע), Job 23:10 כי ידע דרך עמדי the way of which I am conscious (De; Ew Di the way attending me, my usual way), vJob 23:14 וְכָהֵנָּה רַבּוֺת עמו i.e. he has many such purposes, Job 27:11 אֲשֶׁד עִם שַׁדָּי לֹא אֲכַחֵד i.e. his purposes or principles of action.

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

Sq. a word denoting a place, Gen 48:12 וַיּוֺצֵא יוֺסֵָף אֹתָם מֵעִם בִּרְכָּיו, Exod 21:14 מֵעִם מִזְבְּחִי (compare 1Sam 2:33), Judg 9:37 מֵעִם טַבּוּר הארץ, 1Sam 20:34 מֵעִם הַשֻּׁלְחָן; Job 28:4 מֵעִם גָּר away from, far from (si vera lectio).

  d. Expressing origination or authorship: 1Sam 20:7 כִּי כָֽלְתָה הָרָעָה מֵעִמּוֺ, v1Sam 20:9 v1Sam 20:33 (compare מֵאֵת Esth 7:17); especially of ׳י (compare מֵאֵת c), Gen 41:32 ׳נָכוֺן הַדָּבָר מֵעִם הא is established from, on the part of, God, 1Kgs 2:33 ׳שׁלום ֗֗֗ מעם י, 1Kgs 12:15 (2Chr 10:15) כִי הָֽיְתָה סִבָּה ׳מעם י, Isa 8:18 signs and portents ׳מעם י, Isa 28:29 יצאה ׳גם זאת מעם י, Isa 29:6; Ps 121:2 ׳עֶזְרִי מעם י Ruth 2:12.
