Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

אֱהִי Hosea 13:10,14 (twice in verse) adverb where ? = אֵי, אַיֵּה. So ᵐ5ᵑ6 ᵑ9ᵑ7 AW in Hosea 13:10, & ᵐ5ᵑ6 (compare 1 Corinthians 15:55) AW in Hosea 13:14. Taken by many of the older interpreters, and even by Ges in Hosea 13:14, as 1 singular imperfect with apocope of היה I would be: but this is less suited to the context, and the jussive form is an objection, being unusual with the 1person

I. אהל ( settle down (?), Arabic be inhabited, compare Assyrian âlu, settlement, city, ma'â Luke , ma'âltu, bed; Dl^W & ^{Proverbs 105}). ** Nö^{ZMG xi (1886). 154,720} doubts אֹהֶל = = âlu; but = dwelling actually in vulgar Arabic according to So^Buhl.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אֱהִי Hosea 13:10. This word which is elsewhere, 1 fut. apoc. from the root הָיָה, is here the same as אַיֵּה, אֵי where? unless perhaps there is a false reading from verses -714, and we ought to read אַיֵּה. Render it אֱהִי מַלְכְּךָ אֵפוֹא “where then is thy king?” and join the words very closely, אֱהִי אֵפוֹא where then; [see also verse 14 Hosea 13:14 where this word ought clearly to be taken as an interrog. part, see 1 Corinthians 15:55. “Ewald regards this word (Gr. § 444) as compounded from אֱ (i.q. הֲ) and הִי i.e. hic, here; comp. Ethiop. ሀየ፡ there; ዘየ፡ here, hither. So, too, Hupfeld.” Ges. add.]
