Strong's Lexicon i: there is, there are Original Word: אִי Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1510 (εἰμί, eimi) - to be, to exist - G2076 (ἐστιν, estin) - is, are Usage: The Hebrew particle "yesh" is used to denote existence or presence. It is often translated as "there is" or "there are" in English. It is a simple yet profound word that affirms the presence or availability of something or someone. In the Hebrew Bible, "yesh" is used to assert the reality or truth of a statement, often in contrast to "ayin" (אַיִן), which means "there is not." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of existence was deeply tied to the presence and activity of God. The affirmation of "yesh" in the Scriptures often underscores the reality of God's provision, presence, and promises. The use of "yesh" reflects a worldview that acknowledges the tangible and intangible aspects of life as being under God's sovereign control.
