1. in, with (poetic prep.) — A poetic and archaic expanded form of the preposition beth, used exclusively in elevated poetic registers (Job, Psalms, Isaiah). The form functions identically to standard beth, conveying locative ('in'), instrumental ('with'), or directional ('into/through') meanings depending on context. The separate clusters merely reflect contextual English translations of a single undifferentiated preposition: 'with' (instrumental), 'in/into/through' (locative/directional), and a textual variant in Job 9:30. No genuine semantic distinction exists among these uses. 10×
