What is this construction, the first word in Genesis verse 7 (Genesis 4:7
Halo הלוא)? According to what I can find out it would mean (hyperliterally)
"the no". It seems to be a negative but I would like to know more about it
if it is a Biblical idiom/construction and the possible ways it could be
translated. In this case, it seems awkward to translate.

Toda rabba!
