לָא

lâʼ · Hebrew · Strong's H3809 · 82 occurrences

The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “without”

What it means

{not (the simple or abs. negation); by implication, no;}

(Aramaic) or לָה; (Aramaic) (Daniel 4:32), corresponding to H3808 (לֹא)

How the KJV renders it

or even, neither, none, cannot, as nothing, without

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

without
also renders parektós (G3924), éxōthen (G1855), chōrís (G5565), ésōthen (G2081), ektós (G1622), ʼâchôwr (H268), ʼepheç (H657)
