אֱנוֹשׁ
ʼĕnôwsh · en-oshe'
a man in general (singly or collectively)
Lexicon
Derivation: from H605 (אָנַשׁ); properly, a mortal (and thus differing from the more dignified H120 (אָדָם)); hence,
a man in general (singly or collectively)
Definition from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance (1890). Wording is Strong's own, including his etymological notes, which are not separate meanings.
KJV renderings: another, [idiom] (blood-) thirsty, certain, chap(-man); divers, fellow, [idiom] in the flower of their age, husband, (certain, mortal) man, people, person, servant, some ([idiom] of them), [phrase] stranger, those, [phrase] their trade. It is often unexpressed in the English versions, especially when used in apposition with another word. Compare H376 (אִישׁ).
