(The more usual form is אַיֵּה.)

b. strengthened by the enclitic זֶה (see זֶה, 4 אֵי־זֶה ₁₅ where, then ? (never of a person, except Esther 7:5 (late), & only once 1 Kings 22:24 [but see 2 Chronicles 18:23] with a verb) Isaiah 50:1; Isaiah 66:1 (twice in verse); Jeremiah 6:16, in indirect question 1 Samuel 9:18; in the phrase _⬩⬩⬩אֵי־זֶה הַדֶּרֶח where is the way (that)... ? † 1 Kings 13:12; 2 Kings 3:8; 2 Chronicles 18:23; Job 38:19a Job 38:24.
