(b) to designate an individual (rare), Genesis 28:11 and he took הַמָּקוֺם מֵאַבְנֵי (one) of the stones of the place (see 28:18), Exodus 6:25 פוטיאל מבּנות (one) of the daughters of P., Ezekiel 17:5, 13; Nehemiah 13:28; Psalm 132:11; as subject Leviticus 25:33; Daniel 11:5 the king of the south וּמִןֿ שָׂרָיו and (one) of his captains, 11:7, compare Jeremiah 41:1; Esther 4:5; 2 Chronicles 26:11; Ruth 2:20 הוא מִגֹּאֲלֵנוּ he is (one) of our kinsmen, Exodus 2:6. (c) in a negative or hypothetical sentence (whether subject or object) = any, aught, Deuteronomy 16:4 מןהֿבשׂר ילין ולא and there shall not remain any of the flesh, 1 Kings 18:5 מןהֿבהמה נכרית ולא and we shall not destroy any of the beasts, 2 Kings 10:10 (compare Joshua 21:43; 23:14; 1 Samuel 3:19; 1 Kings 8:56; Esther 6:10), Esther 6:23 י מֵעַבְדֵי ׳מֶּןיֶֿשׁמֹּֿה Job 27:6 מִיָּמָ֑י לְבָבִי יֶחֱרַף לֹא my heart reproacheth not one of my days: with אִם, etc. Exodus 29:34; Leviticus 4:2a (compare 4:22; 4:27), 11:32 (מהם), 11:33; 11:35; 11:37-39; 18:29; 25:25; Numbers 5:6; מִכֹּל anything whatever, Leviticus 5:24; Leviticus 11:34; compare 1 Samuel 23:23 (?). (d) peculiarly, with a noun of unity, especially אֶחָד, to express forcibly the idea of a single one: Deuteronomy 15:7 if there be a poor man in thy midst, אַחֶיךָ מֵאַחַר any one of thy brethren, Leviticus 4:2b if he doeth מֵהֵ֫נָּה מֵאַחַת any one of these things, 5:13; Ezekiel 18:10 אָח וְעָשָׂה מֵאֵלֶּה מֵאַחַד (where אח is a vox nihili) and doeth aught of these things; 1 Samuel 14:45 if there shall fall אַרְצָה ראֹשׁוֺ מִשַּׂעֲרַת a single hair of his head to the ground! (for שְׂעָרָה as a noun of individual meaning see Ges§ 122t Dr), compare 2 Samuel 14:11; 1 Kings 1:52. (Probably a rhetorical application of the partitive sense, though the explanation 'starting from one' = 'even one' would also be possible. is used similarly after negative and interrogative particles, not merely with collective nouns, as nought have they of knowledge (Qor 18:4), but also with nouns of unity, as Qor 3:55 Ye have not aught of (= any) god, except Him; 19:19 dost thou perceive even one of them? 6:59 there falleth not even a single leaf (noun of individual meaning) without His knowing it.
