Two Jewish Expressions Me'Ezraz Hashem and Im'Ezraz Hashem. What is Ezraz? How r these expressions different

Question

"Ezraz like Mazalach"

Answer 1

Thw word is Ezras or in Sephardic Hebrew Ezrat. It comes from the word Ezrah, meaning Help. The 's' or 't' at the end meens it is owned or controlled by the next word.

Me'Ezras Hashem meens From G-d's Help. I've never heard that. I think you may have heard B'Ezras Hashem, and mixed up the sounds because its a language strange to your ears. That means With G-d's Help. Im Ezras Hashem meens the same thing. Im is just a different word for With.

The phrase is usually used like this, "I will go to the bank and get a loan today, b'ezras Hashem."

If you want to use M'ezras Hashem it would have to be with a past tense, like, "I went to the bank and was succesful in securing the loan, m'ezras hashem." But again, I've never heard it in my life.

If you want to get super technical B'Ezras HaShem is the more pious statement because it's word for With implies total encompassment, as if it is with G-d's help and your effort is not doing any work towards success at all. Im would mean you are helping and Hashem is also helping. That's really technical though, and nobody is going to notice that even if they are "native" Hebrew speakers. I'm not even sure the distinction exists in Modern Hebrew. It might be only in biblical Hebrew.

See if you can deduce from what is written on this page from JSTOR. This is about all I could find. Based on this page that word may have something to do with being born in or at a certain time or place, i am not sure, but take a look at that link and see if you can deduce it.

I hope this helps you.
