21st Century Bible Hebrew -- "with" two

Genesis 3:11-12

 

יא וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מִ֚י הִגִּ֣יד לְךָ֔ כִּ֥י עֵירֹ֖ם אָ֑תָּה הֲמִן־הָעֵ֗ץ אֲשֶׁ֧ר צִוִּיתִ֛יךָ לְבִלְתִּ֥י אֲכָל־מִמֶּ֖נּוּ אָכָֽלְתָּ:

יב וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הָֽאָדָ֑ם הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תָּה עִמָּדִ֔י הִ֛וא נָֽתְנָה־לִּ֥י מִן־הָעֵ֖ץ וָֽאֹכֵֽל:

 

Translation:     He said: who told you, that you are naked; did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?

The man said: the woman that you gave with me, she gave me from the tree and I ate.

 

Notice that little phrase ha-min-ha-ets. Notice that there’s a revia above ha-ets. The hyphen shows that this is one lexical unit, that’s why it can take a revia.

 

Second, ha-min is a question. The ha- prefix is for a yes-no question as well as the definite article.

 

Imadi is not the normal “with me”. The normal form for “with, accompanied by” is based on the fact that et, the direct object particle, is also the preposition “with.”  

 

Singular	Plural	Person/gender
אִתִּי	אִתָּנוּ	First
אִתְּךָ	אִתְּכֶם	Second/masculine
אִתָּךְ	אִתְּכֶן	Second/feminine
אִתֹּו	אִתּהֶם	Third/masculine
אִתָּה	אִתּהֶן	Third/feminine

 

And here’s the one in verse 12.

 

Singular	Plural	Person/gender
עִמָּדִי	עִמָּנוּ	First
עִמְּךָ	עִמָּכֶם	Second/masculine
עִמָּךְ	אִתְּכֶן	Second/feminine
עִמּוֹ	עִמָּהֶם	Third/masculine
עִמָּהּ	עִמָּהֶן	Third/feminine

 

I couldn’t find an actual example of the 2^nd feminine plural but it follows from the masculine.
