אֵין חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ

ביטוי (אנגלית)

There's nothing new under the sun

הגדרה (אנגלית)

There is nothing truly new in the world. Essentially, there are no real innovations in the world despite its progress, because things in their essence, especially human behaviors, remain the same.

("What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun"—Ecclesiastes 1:9; also: "Is it not a well-known teaching in Shabbat: 'And they will make a tinkling with their feet,' meaning they would bring myrrh... they would paint their eyes, in the end there is nothing new under the sun, and if there were wanton women in ancient Jerusalem, why should there not be such in Kfar Ben Shemen now"—Abraham Mapu, Ayit Tzavua, 66; also: "And you will see evenings and mornings visiting your window / and you will say: indeed, there is nothing new under the sun"—Leah Goldberg, Songs of the End of the Road)
