Exegesis
The phrase ve-davar ein-lahem im-adam {וְדָבָ֤ר אֵ֨ין־לָהֶם עִם־אָדָם | və-ḏā-vār ʾên-lā-hēm ʿim-ʾā-ḏām} ‘and there was no business for them with a man’ combines the abstract noun davar {דָּבָר | dā-vār} ‘matter, affair’ with the prepositional phrase im-adam {עִם־אָדָם | ʿim-ʾā-ḏām} ‘with a person’ to convey social separation.
In context — Judges 18:28
There was no rescuer , because it was far from Sidon and they had no business with any man. It was in the valley near Beth Rehob. Afterward they rebuilt the city and lived there.
