Genesis 27:33 אֵפ֡וֹא then

Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”

Genesis 27:37 אֵפ֔וֹא then

But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”

Genesis 43:11 אֵפוֹא֮ then

Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.

Here: A small particle that sharpens what it touches: 'if it really must be so, then…'. It carries a sigh of resignation.

Exodus 33:16 אֵפ֗וֹא then

For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

Here: A small particle that sharpens a question: "how, then?" It gives Moses' words an urgent, pressing tone. The KJV's "here" reflects an older understanding of this particle.

“Where is your gloating now?” Zebul replied. “You said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Are these not the people you ridiculed? Go out now and fight them!”

Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”

Here: A small particle that draws a conclusion: 'so, then.' It links this verse to Jehu's question in v. 9 ('who struck all these?') and gives his answer: this is what it all means.

Job 9:24 אֵפ֣וֹא then

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

Here: An emphatic 'then' that presses the question: 'so then, who?' It is not the word for 'where' (ʾeifoh), though KJV and YLT translate it that way.

Job 17:15 אֵפ֣וֹ then

where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?

Here: A small particle that sharpens a question, like English 'then' or 'in that case' (compare Gen 27:33, 'who then was he?'). It makes the question a conclusion drawn from what Job has just said: given all this, where is it?

Job 19:6 אֵ֭פוֹ then

then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.

Job 19:23 אֵ֭פוֹ then

I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,

then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.

Hosea 13:10 אֵפ֔וֹא then

Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?

Here: A small particle that sharpens a question, like English "where, then...?" or "so where now...?" It adds impatience and sarcasm, as if the speaker is looking around for the king and not finding him.
