אָתָה

Deuteronomy 33:2 וְאָתָ֖ה and he came

He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.

Here: A rare poetic word for 'come', found mostly in poetry (Isa 21:12; Deut 33:21). Its elevated tone fits a royal arrival. (The supplied tag 'Vqq3ms' is an unusual code; the form is an ordinary completed-action form, like 'came' above.)

Deuteronomy 33:21 וַיֵּתֵא֙ and he came

He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”

Job 37:22 יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה it comes

Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.

Here: A rare, poetic verb for "come" (the everyday Hebrew verb is bôʾ). It is used for God's coming in Deuteronomy 33:2. The form describes something that habitually comes or is now coming. The main pause in the verse falls on this word.

Psalm 68:31 יֶאֱתָ֣יוּ they will come

Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.

Here: A poetic, somewhat archaic word for 'come' (the everyday prose word is bo'). The form can be read as a plain future ('they will come') or as a wish ('let them come'); the surrounding verses are full of commands to God and the nations ('rebuke', 'scatter', 'sing'), so a wish fits well, but both readings picture foreign delegations arriving at God's sanctuary.

Proverbs 1:27 יֶאֱתֶ֑ה it will arrive

when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.

Here: A rarer, poetic verb for 'come', used instead of repeating bo. It carries a tone of something approaching that can't be held off. It is the only finite verb in the verse.

Here: "And they came on." A rare poetic verb for "come" (it is the ordinary word in Aramaic), with an extra final -n that gives weight and finality. The verse ends on the image of crowds converging.

Isaiah 41:23 הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת the [things] coming

Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.

Isaiah 41:25 וַיַּ֔את and he has come

I have raised up one from the north, and he has come—one from the east who calls on My name. He will march over rulers as if they were mortar, like a potter who treads the clay.

Here: 'And he came.' This is a rare, poetic verb for 'come', related to Aramaic. Its form narrates the arrival as a fact that follows directly from God's rousing.

Isaiah 44:7 וְאֹתִיּ֛וֹת and [the] coming [things]

Who then is like Me? Let him say so! Let him declare his case before Me, since I established an ancient people. Let him foretell the things to come, and what is to take place.

Here: 'And the coming things.' This is a rare, poetic word for 'come', closer to Aramaic usage, made into a noun: 'the things on their way'. Isaiah 41:23 uses the same word for the future that the idols cannot announce.

Isaiah 45:11 הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת the coming [things]

Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

Here: 'The coming things': a poetic participle for the events about to unfold, above all Cyrus's rise and the release of the exiles. Isaiah uses the same phrase when he challenges the idols to predict the future (41:23; 44:7). The Hebrew word order puts it first for emphasis: 'The things to come, ask me about them?'

Isaiah 56:9 אֵתָ֕יוּ come

Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.

Here: A rare, poetic plural command, 'Come!' The same word comes back in v.12, where the drunken leaders call each other: 'Come, let me get wine.' God's call to the beasts and the leaders' call to their drinking party frame the whole unit.

Isaiah 56:12 אֵתָ֥יוּ come

“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”

Here: A plural command, 'Come, all of you!' The verb is a poetic, slightly elevated word for 'come'. The exact same form opened verse 9, where God summoned wild beasts to come and devour; here the leaders use it to summon one another to a drinking party.

Jeremiah 3:22 אָתָ֣נוּ we have come

“Return, O faithless children, and I will heal your faithlessness.” “Here we are. We come to You, for You are the LORD our God.
