"Nothing" is represented by various words and phrases, often with lo’, which is properly a substantive with the meaning of "nothing." Most frequently we have lo’ me’umah, "not anything" (Ge 40:15; Jud 14:6).



In 2 Macc 7:12, we have "nothing," adverbially (en oudeni), "he nothing regarded the pains" (compare 1Ki 15:21); 2 Macc 9:7 (oudamos), the [[Revised Version]] (British and American) "in no wise"; [[The Wisdom of Solomon]] 2:11, "nothing worth" (achrestos), the Revised Version (British and American) "of no service"; Baruch 6:17,26.
