from nothing; likely a textual error for 'from nought' (Isa 41:24)
This form appears in Isaiah's polemic against idols and likely represents a scribal variation of the more common 'efes' (nought, nothing). The prophet declares the gods are less than nothing, unable to act or speak. Ancient versions and most modern scholars read this as a textual variant rather than a distinct word. The rhetorical force remains: idols are ontological zeros.

1. sense 1 — Isaiah 41:24 condemns: 'Behold, you are nothing, and your work is from nothing.' The phrase 'from nothing' emphasizes the utter impotence and unreality of false gods. Cross-lingual evidence ('from-nothing' in English, 'de-nada' in Spanish, French/German preserve the Hebrew) supports reading this as 'from nothingness.' The variant spelling underscores the text's transmission history while preserving Isaiah's scathing assessment of idol worship's futility. 1×
