H0834A–אֲשֶׁר–a.sher

Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “that”

I communed with mine own hear, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[one] who”

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding [ergänzt: me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

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

And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “which”

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

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

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”

That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

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

Then I returned and saw 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 that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

yea, better than them both [ergänzt: did I esteem] him that 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 wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “who”

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[those] whom”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

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

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this 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 thereof, 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 heavy upon men:

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

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

Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “[that] which”

For who knoweth what is good for man in [ergänzt: his] 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?
