W:CG 123 ff. K?:ii. 368):—
1. interrog. what ? a. in a direct question, before either verbs or nouns Gn 4:10 מֶה עשׂית what hast thou done ? 15:2 מה־תתן־לי what wilt thou give me ? Ex 3:13 מַה־שְּׁמוֹ, 12:26, 13:14 and so very often: מַה־הִיא Zc 5:6; מה אלה Zc 1:9; מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה Je 1:11, Am 7:8 + ; Jl 4:14 מה אתם לי; Ju 18:8 מה אתם vid. Comm., v:24 מה לי עוד what have I still ? Is 21:11 מה־מלילה what (= how much) of the night (is past) ? = as what ? (qualem ?) Hg 2:3 (cf. מִי Am 7:2); to express surprise, Jb 9:12 who shall say to him, מה תעשׂה what doest thou ? 22:13, Ec 8:4, Is 45:9, 45:10; sq. כִּי, Gn 20:10 מה ראית כי עשׂית what hadst thou in view, that thou hast done, etc.? 31:36, Ex 16:7 וְנַחְנוּ מָה כִּי and what are we, that ? 32:21, Nu 22:28, Hb 2:18, etc. Note in partic.—(a) מָה is followed sometimes by a subst. in appos. (against Arabic usage, which does not permit this: W:AG. ii. § 170), so that it becomes virtually an adj.: מַה־בֶּחַע what profit ? Gn 37:26, Ps 30:10, Mal 3:14; Is 40:8 מַה־דְּמוּת, Mal 1:13, Ps 89:48 זְכָר־אֲנִי מֶה חָָלֶד (inverted for חֶלֶד אָָנִי מַה) remember (of) what (short) duration I am, Ec 1:3, 5:10, 5:15, 6:8, 6:11 (Da:§ 8, R. 2 K?:iii. 23 f.); as exclam., Ps 89:48 b, Jb 26:14. And with the subst. idiom. at the end (in Arabic preceded then by مِنْ: W:AG. ii. § 49. 7), 1 S 26:18 ומַה־בידי רעה and what is there in my hand, evil ? 20:10 (vid. 3), 2 S 19:29, 24:13, 1 K 12:16, Je 2:5 מה־מחאו אבותיכם בי עָוֶל, Ec 11:2, Est 6:3.

(vid. זֶה 4 d). (c) לְְּ מַה־ what to thee ? i.e. what aileth thee ? or what dost thou want ? Gn 21:17 מַה־לָּךְ הָגָר; Jos 15:18, 2 S 14:5, 1 K 1:16, 2 K 6:28, Ez 18:2 (accents); sq. כִּי, Ju 18:23 מה־לך כי נזעקת, Gn 20:9 (cf. 1 S 11:5 לעם כי יבכו מה), Is 22:1 מַה־לָּךְ כִּי עָלִיתְ (cf. τί παθὼν, τοῦτο ποιεῖς;), Ps 114:5; without כִּי Is 3:15 (cf. Qor 57:8, 57:10); with a ptcp., Jon 1:6 what is it to thee as a sleeper ? (accus.: Da:§ 70 a cites Qor 74:50), Ez 18:2 (if אתם be treated as strengthening לכם). (d) פֹה (לִי) מַה־לְְּ = what hast thou (have I) here ? Ju 18:3, 1 K 19:9, Is 22:16, 52:5. (e) in the genit., Jer 8:9 וְחָכְמַת־מֶה לָהֶם, and wisdom of what (= what kind of wisdom) is theirs ? Nu 23:3 (v. infr. 3). b. often in an indirect question, as after ראה, Gn 2:19 to see מה־יקרא־לו what he would call it, 37:20 וְנִרְאֶה מה־יהיו חלֽמֹתיו to what his dreams will come, Nu 13:19 f. Hb 2:1; הִכִּיר Gn 31:32; ידע 39:8, Ex 2:4 לדעת מה־יֵּעָשֶׂה לו, 16:15, 32:1, Jb 34:4; שׁמע Nu 9:8 וְאשׁמעה מה־יחוה י׳ (cf. Ps 85:9), 2 S 17:5; פֹּרַשׁ Nu 15:34; שׁאל 1 K 3:5, 2 K 2:9; הֵבִין Jb 6:24, 23:5: Nu 13:18 מה היא וראיתם את הארץ, Ps 39:5, Is 41:22 הראשׁנות מָה הֵנָּה הַגִּידוּ.—In some such cases it approximates in meaning to the simple rel., as Jer 7:17, 33:24, Mi 6:5, 6:8, Jb 34:33. c. = of what kind ? (Germ. was für ein ... ?), with an insinuation of blame, or reproach, or contempt: Gn 37:10 מה החלום הזה what is this dream which thou hast dreamt ? 44:15, Jos 22:16, Ju 8:1, 15:11, 20:12, 1 S 29:3 מָה הָעִבְרִים האלה, 1 K 9:13 מה העדים האלה אשׁר נתתה לי, 2 K 9:22, 18:19. d. מה is often used in questions to which the answer little, or nothing, is expected, and it thus becomes equivalent to a rhetorical negative (cf. הֲ b, מִי f c): (a) Gn 23:15 land worth 400 shekels..., מה היא what is it ? (i.e. it is something quite insignificant), 27:37, Ju 8:3 עשׂות ככם ומה־יכלתי, 14:18, Ho 9:5, 10:3, Ps 30:10, 56:5, Jb 15:9, 16:6, 21:21, 22:13, 22:17, La 2:13, Ct 5:9 מַהאדּוֹדֵךְ מִדּוֹד what is thy beloved (more) than a(nother) beloved ? ‖לא, 1 K 12:16 מַה־לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוֹד וְלאֹ־נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן יִשַׁי (2 S 20:1 אֵין־לָנוּ חֵלֶק וג׳), Jb 16:6. (b) sq. כִּי (כִּי 1 f), Gn 20:9, 37:26 מַה־בֶּחַע כִּי נַהֲרֹג what profit (is it) that we should slay him ? Ex 16:7, Nu 16:11, Hb 2:18, 2 K 8:13 what is thy servant, the dog, that he should do, etc.? and often in poetry, as Ps 8:5 מָה אנושׁ כי תזכרנו what is man that thou rememberest him ? Jb 6:11 מַה־כֹּחִי כִּי אֲיַחֵל , v:11 b, 7:17, 15:12 f; 15:14, 16:3, 21:15 + (cf. מִ׳ f b). Hence, (c) in the formula of repudiation, or emphatic denial, (וְלָכֶם) מַה־לִּי וָלָךְ what is there (common) to me and to thee ? i.e. what have I to do with thee ? † Ju 11:12, 2 S 16:10 מה לי ולכם, 19:23, 1 K 17:18, 2 K 3:13, 2 Ch 35:21; cf. Jos 22:24, 2 K 9:18, 9:19; rather differently, without וְ, † Je 2:18 מה לך לדרך מ׳ what is there to thee with reference to the way to Egypt ? Ho 14:9 מַהאלּוֹ לַעֲחַבִּים, cf. Ps 50:16 (לְסַפֵּר); with את, † Je 23:28 מַה־לַתֶּבֶן אֶת־הַבָּר beside (or in comparison with) the wheat ? cf. τί ἐμοὶ (ἡμῖν) καὶ σοί; Mt 8:29, Mk 5:7, Jn 2:4; and Ar. مَا لِي وَلَهُ e. = whatsoever (cf. מִי g): (a) Ju 9:48 ראיתם עשׂיתי מהרו עשׂו כמוני מה אתם, lit. what do you see (that) I have done ? hasten, and do like me (= whatever ye see, etc.), 2 S 21:4 אעשׂה לכם מה אתם אמרים, Jb 6:24; with the apod. introd. by וְ, 1 S 20:4 מה תאמר נפשׁך ואעשׂה לך; Est 5:3 וְיִנָּתֵן לָךְ מַה־ בַּקָּשָׁתֵךְ, v:6, 7:2, 9:12; hence in the late and strange idiom of Ch., it sinks twice almost to the rel. what, 1 Ch 15:13 כי לְמַבָּרִאשׁוֹנָה לא אתם because ye were not (employed) for what was at first (on the former occasion), J. etc., 2 Ch 30:3 לְמַדַּי acc. to what was sufficient (= in sufficient numbers), cf. Est 9:26. (b) -מַה־שֶּׁ (late: frequently in Mishn., etc.), whatever, what (cf. מִי אֲשֶׁר, מִי g end): † Ec 1:9 מַה־שֶּׁהָיָה הוּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה, lit. what is that which hath been ? it is that which shall be (= whatever hath been, it is that which shall be), v:9, 3:15, 3:22, 6:10, 7:24, 8:7, 10:14.
2. Used adverbially: a. as an interrogative: (a) how ? especially in expressing what is regarded as an impossibility, Gn 44:16 מַה־נִּחְטַדָָּק how shall we justify ourselves ? Nu 23:8, 23:8, 1 S 10:27 מַה־יּשִׁעֵנוּ זֶה, 2 K 4:43, Jb 9:2, 25:4, 25:4, 31:1 I made a covenant with my eyes, וּמָה אֶתְבּוֹנֵן עַל ב׳ and how should I look upon a maid ? (LXX οὐ, Vulgate non), Pr 20:24 דַּרְכּוֹ וְאָדָם מַה־יָּבִין; in an indirect question, Ex 10:26, Ps 39:5 אֵֽדְעָה מֶה־חָדֵל אָָנִי; מַה־זֶּה, how, now ? (in surprise), Gn 27:20 מַה־זֶּה מִהַרְתָּ לִמְחאֹ בְּנִי, Ju 18:24, 1 K 21:5, 2 K 1:5. (b) why ? Ex 14:15 אֵלַי מַה תִּחְעַק, 17:2, 17:2, 2 K 6:33, 7:3, Ps 42:6 מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי עלי, Jb 15:12 + ; Ct 8:4 I adjure you מַה־תָּעִירוּ וּמַה־תְּעוֹרֲרוּ, why will ye stir up, etc.? (i.e. do not: ‖אִם 2:7, 3:5).—The transition from the interrog. to the neg., to which in Heb. there is an approx. (v. supr.: esp. 1 K 12:16, Jb 31:1, Ct 8:4), is in Ar. complete, مَا being there used constantly in the sense of not (cf. Walker:Hbr. xii. 244 ff.; Kö:iii, 478). b. as an exclam., how ...! with adjectives and verbs, Gn 28:17 מַה־נּוֹרָא הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה how dreadful is this place! 38:29, Nu 24:5 מַה־טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיְ, Is 52:7, Ps 3:2 מה רבו, 8:2 מה אדיר, 21:2, 36:8, etc., Ct 4:10, 4:10, 7:2; ironically, 2 S 6:20, Je 2:33, 2:36, Jb 26:2, 26:3.

I will, etc., Dr:§ 149), 1 S 19:3 וְרָאִיתִי מָה וִהִגַּדְתִּי לָָךְ = and if I see aught, I will, etc., 20:10 אוֹ מַה־יַּעַנְִ אָבִיְ קָשָׁה if perchance thy father shall answer thee aught that is harsh (order, 1 a a), 2 S 18:22 וִיהִי־מָה אָרוּחָה־נָּא but let there happen what may (lit.aught), I will run, v:23 (cf. Jb 13:13 וְיַעֲבֹר עָלַי מָה), v:29 וְלאֹ יָדַעְתִּי מָה (cf. Pr 9:13), Pr 25:8. Cf. Kö:iii. § 65.

Note especially (a) in expostulations, Gn 12:18 למה לא הגדת לי why didst thou not tell me, etc. ? v:19, 29:25, 31:27, 42:1, 43:6, 1 S 21:15, 22:13, 24:10, Ps 22:2, 44:24, 44:25, 74:1, 74:11 + oft.; (b) with an impf., oft. deprecating, or introducing rhetorically, the reason why something should, or should not, be done, why should ? 1 S 19:5, 19:17, 20:8 but to thy father (emph.) למה זה תביאני, why shouldst thou bring me ? 20:32 מה עשׂה למה יומת why should he be put to death ? 2 S 13:26, 16:9, 20:19, 2 K 14:10, etc.: in such cases, it approximates in meaning to lest (cf. Ph. CIS:i. 2, 21 יסגרינם אלנם לָםָ ne tradant eos dii), and is in LXX often rendered by μήποτε, as Gn 27:45 למה אשׁכל why should I be bereaved, etc. ? Ex 32:12 יאמרו מחרים למה Ne 6:3, Ps 79:10, 115:2, Ec 7:16, μή, Jer 40:15, ἵνα μή, Gn 47:19, 2 S 2:22, 2 Ch 25:16, Ec 5:5, 7:17, or ὅπως μή, Jo 2:17 (in 1 S 19:17, 2 S 13:26, paraph. by εἰ μή); and, connected with the foreg. sentence by אשׁר, or שֶׁ, in late, or dial., Heb. it actually has that mng., Dn 1:10 אֲשֶׁר לָמָּה יִרְאֶה lest he see, Ct 1:7 שַׁלָּמָ֫ה אֶהְיֶה lest I become (so in Aram. לְמָה דִּי Ezr 7:23, דִּילְמָא Targum, Syr. ܕܰܠܡܳܐ, both regularly = lest). e. עַד־מָה (Ps 4:3 עַד־מֶה) until when ? how long ? † Nu 24:22 (aposiop.), Ps 4:3, 79:5, 89:47; in indirect qu., Ps 74:9 (cf. עד אנה, עד מתי). f. עַל־מָה, and עַל־מֶה, upon what ?

(e) especially in poetry, a question with מי, to which the answer follows, is an effective mode of affirming a fact, or introducing a description: Ps 15:1; 15:1 (see v:2–5), 24:3, 24:8, 24:10, Is 23:8 מי יעץ זאת וג׳ (v:9 the answ., יְעָחָהּ ח׳ י׳), 33:14 (see v:15 f.), 37:23, 41:2, 41:4, 60:8, 63:1, Je 46:7, Ct 3:6, cf. 6:10, 8:3; answered by הֲלאֹ Ex 4:11, Is 42:24, 45:21, Mi 1:5, 1:5. g. מִי may sometimes be rendered whosoever, though, as the examples will shew, it does not really mean it: Ex 24:14 מי בעל דברים יִגַּשׁ אליהם, lit.
