ENDS TOMORROW – AUGUST 20
עִם (eem) is the very common Hebrew preposition meaning with.
But perhaps you’ve found it strange that when the word is declined, the letters ע (a) and מ (m) disappear, and instead we get:
with me – אִתִּי (ee-TEE)
with us (one male) – אִתָּנוּ (ee-TAH-noo)
with you (one male) – אִתְּךָ (ee-teh-KHAH)
with you (one female) – אִתָּךְ (ee-TAHKH)
with you (males or mixed) – אִתְּכֶם (ee-teh-KHEM)
with you (females) – אִתְּכֶן (ee-teh-KHEN)
with him – אִתּוֹ (ee-TOH)
with her – אִתָּהּ (ee-TAH)
with them (males or mixed) – אִתָּם (ee-TAHM)
with them (females) – אִתָּן (ee-TAHN)
That’s because the other very common Hebrew preposition, אֶת means with, in addition to indicating the definite object.You’ll usually find the word alone meaning with in the names of business partnerships, such as that of the tour company Horn and Leibovitz – הוֹרֶן אֶת לֵיבּוֹבִיץ.
In Biblical Hebrew, עם and את are virtually interchangeable.
