Is herein lies grammatically correct or is it herein lays?

"Herein lies" is correct. "Lays" implies that it is the object that is lying. "Lies" implies that the subject is lying. ("Lying" being the gerund for "lie".)When you say "herein lies the mcguffin." You are saying that the mcguffin is lying, you are not saying that the mcguffin is laying something else. You lie (yourself) on the ground. You lay a book on the table. You lay your argument before me and thus, there it lies.Ans2:The hen is in her coop and herein lays eggs.The lawyer has entered the courtroom and herein lies.Herein lies an argument that both usages can be correct.
