H1115. bilti

[בֵּ֫לֶת‎] substantive (from בָּלָה‎, of the form דֶּלֶת‎ Ol^{§ 146 b}) properly failure, hence used as

particle of negation, not, except (compare אֶפֶס בְּלִי,‎), twice with suffix (see below), elsewhere always בִּלְתִּי‎ (with binding vowel יִ֯‎, as mark of construct state: Sta^{§ 343} Ges^{§ 90}, 3), (Phoenician בלת‎ only: Tabnith-Inscription⁵) —

1. adverb not, with an adjective 1Sam 20:26 טָהוֺר בִּלְתִּי‎ not clean, with a substantive Isa 14:6 סָרָה בִּלְתִּי מַכַּת‎ a stroke of non+? verb (si vera lectio) Ezek 13:3 (RVm: but see Dr^{§ 41 Obs}.).

2 after a preceding negation, not = except (synonym זוּלָתִי‎), Gen 21:26 I have not heard הַיּוֺם בִּלְתִּי‎ except to-day, Exod 22:19 he that sacrificeth לי ׳בִּלְתִּי‎ except unto ׳י‎, Num 32:12; Josh 11:19: so אִם בִּלְתִּי‎ Gen 47:18; Judg 7:14 (compare אִם כִּי‎ Gen 28:17; Neh 2:2). With suffix (attached to the ground-form בֵּלֶת‎) בִּלְתִּי‎ except me Hosea 13:4, בִּלְתֶּ֑ךָ‎ expect thee 1Sam 2:2.

3. conjunction (likewise after a negative, expressed or implied) Gen 43:3 אִתְּכֶם אֲחִיכֶם בִּלְתִּי‎ except your brother (be) with you, 43:5; Num 11:6 our soul is dry, there is nothing at all; save that our eyes are toward the manna, Isa 10:4 (and where will ye leave your glory ?) save that they bow down under the prisoners, and fall under the slain! i.e. (iron.) their only refuge will be among the corpses of a battle-field. So אִם בִּלְתִּי‎ Amos 3:3-4,. — Dan 11:18, where no negative precedes, it is difficult to extract a sense consistent with the General usage of בִּלְתִּי‎: Ges besides that his reproach he will return unto him, Ew only, nothing but, Hi certainly, Drechsler (on Isa 10:4) nay, even (compare RV).

4 With prepositions

a. לְבִלְתִּי‎₈₆ so as not..., in order not... negation of לְ‎ followed by infinitive), usually followed by infinitive construct, as Gen 4:15 gave a sign to Cain הַכּוֺתאֹֿתוֺ לְבִלְתִּי‎ in order that any finding him should not smite him, 19:21; 38:9; Exod 8:18; 8:25; 9:17; Lev 18:30; 20:4; 26:15; Deut 8:11; 17:12 the man that doeth presumptuously שְׁמֹעַ לְבִלְתִּי‎ so as not to hearken etc. (compare Jer 16:12; 17:23; 18:10; 42:13; Dan 9:11) 9:20; Judg 2:23 +; הוֺעִיל לְבִלְתִּי‎ in order not to profit (the result represented forcibly as the design; compare below לְמַעַן‎) Isa 44:10; Jer 7:8; after verbs of commanding Gen 3:11 which I commanded thee אֲכָלמִֿמֶּנּוּ לְבִלְתִּי‎ not to eat thereof, 2Kin 17:15; Jer 35:8f.; 35:14; Ruth 2:9, swearing Deut 4:21; Josh 5:6; Judg 21:7; Ezek 20:15, agreeing 2Kin 12:9, interceding Jer 36:25. Once לְ לְבִלְתִּי‎ 2Kin 23:10 (compare לְ לְמַעַן‎ Ezek 21:20, לְ בַּעֲבוּר‎ 1Chr 19:3). Twice as conjunction with the imperfect, Exod 20:20; 2Sam 14:14 (compare בַּעֲבוּר‎, & מִן‎ Deut 33:11). In Jer 23:14; 27:18 followed by perfect, which is inconsistent with the nature of a final conjunction: read either יָבאֹוּ יָשׁוּבוּ,‎, or בוֺא שׁוּב,‎ (compare Dr^{§ 41 Obs}.). On Ezek 13:3 see above

b. מִבִּלְתִּי‎ an account of not... (negation of מִן‎ followed by infinitive): followed by infinitive Num 14:16 י יְכֹלֶת ׳מִבִּלְתִּי‎; a verbal noun Ezek 16:28 שָׂבְעָתֵךְ מִבִּלְתִּי‎.

c. עַדבִּֿלְתִּי‎ until not..., followed by a perf. (Ges; RS^{JPh xvi. 72}), or an infinitive (Ew^{§ 238 d}), in the phrase (לָהֶם‎) שָׂרִיד הִשְׁאִירלֿוֺ עַדבִּֿלְתִּי‎ until one left him (them) not a remnant, Num 21:35; Deut 3:3; Josh 8:22; 10:33; 11:8; 2Kin 10:11. — Job 14:12 שָׁמַיִם עַדבִּֿלְתִּי‎ till there be no heaven (compare עַדבְּֿלִי‎ Psa 72:7).
