Biblical Hebrew
A common distributive idiom in Biblical Hebrew used an ordinary word for man, 'ish . Brown Driver Briggs only provides four representative examples — Gn 9:5; 10:5; 40:5; Ex 12:3.
Of the many other examples of the idiom in the Hebrew Bible, the best known is a common phrase used to describe everyone returning to their own homes. It is found in 1 Samuel 10:25 among other places.
-
- ... 'ish l'beyto.
- ... a man to his house. [literal]
- ... each went home. [sense]
This word, 'ish, was often used to distinguish men from women. "She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man," is well known, but the distinction is also clear in Gn 19:8; 24:16 and 38:25 (see note for further references). However, it could also be used generically in this distributive idiom (Jb 42:11; I Ch 16:3).
Greek
The most common distributive pronoun in classical Greek was hekastos (ἕκαστος, each).
