H0834A–אֲשֶׁר–a.sher

Is there any thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this grievous labor hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised with it.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “that”

I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have come to great estate, and have gained more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[one] who”

I sought in my heart, to give myself to wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”אֲשֶׁ֤ר 'a.Sher “which”

And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my portion of all my labor.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

I have seen the labor, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “which”

He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

אֲשֶׁ֧ר 'a.Sher “which”אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

I know that, whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר (אֲשֶׁ֥ר) 'a.Sher “[that] which”

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

Wherefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

Yes, better is he than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[one] who”אֲשֶׁ֤ר 'a.Sher “[one] who”אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.

אֲשֶׁ֧ר 'a.Sher “that”

Better is a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

I considered all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “who”

There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[those] whom”

When thou vowest a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

Better is it that thou shouldst not vow, than that thou shouldst vow and not pay.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “whom”

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “whom”אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

אֲשֶׁר֙ 'a.Sher “that”
