בִּלְעֲדֵי

(perhaps from בַּל and עַד, עֲדֵי unto; Syriac ܒܶܠܥܳܕ = ἄνευ, χωρίς; Nab. בלעד except, EutNab 3, 9)—sf. בִּלְעָדַי (3 times), בַּלְעָדַי (4 times), בִּלְעָדֶיךָ (once)—prop. not unto, hence apart from, except, without: Jb 34:32 בִּלְעֲדֵי אֶחֱזֶה except, apart from (what) I see myself, do thou instruct me. With sf. Gn 41:44 בִּלְעָדֶיךָ apart from thee, without thee, no one shall lift up the hand, Is 45:6 for there is none בִּלְעָדָ֑י except me. Also with sf., as a particle of deprecation, Gn 14:24 בִּלְעָדַי not to me! i.e. I claim nothing, (in our idiom) not at all! 41:16. with מִן, מִבַּלְעֲדֵי (so ܡܶܢ ܒܶܠܥܳܕ without). (α) apart from, especially with the collat. idea of without the knowledge and consent, Nu 5:20; 2 K 18:25 (= Is 36:10) am I now come up apart from, without י׳ against this place to destroy it? Je 44:19 (cf. בִלְעָדֶיךָ Gn 41:44). (β) apart from, besides, except, Jos 22:19; 2 S 22:32 a (= ψ 18:32a) for who is God except י׳? v 32 b; similarly Is 43:11 וְאֵין מִבַּלְעָדַי מוֹשִׁיעַ, 44:6, 8; 45:21.
