definite article, the -- in gen. the use of the art. in Heb. is analogous to its use in Greek orGerman: but naturally there are applications peculiar to Hebrew. -- 1. joined with substantives:
a. to mark a definite concrete object. Never, however, before true proper names, though it is usedwith certain terms, chiefly geographical, of which the orig. appellative sense has not been lost, as
l[;B;h; 'Baal,' lit. 'the lord,' in pl. ~yli['B.h; i.e. the various local Baals.
b. with an adjective to denote one who exhibits a quality, i.e. to express the compar. or superl.
degree. c. with nouns which are not definite in themselves, but acquire their definition from the
context , or from the manner in which they are introduced : thus (a) in the standing phrases
~AYh; to-day;hl'y>L;h; to-night , once last night ; sohn"V'h; this
year;~[;P;h; this time. (b)rh'N"h; the river = Euprates. Hence occas. where
a suffix would define the noun more precisely, as rAmx]h; = my ass. d. it is a peculiarity
of Hebrew thought to conceive an object as defined by its being taken for a particular purpose,
and thus by a kind of prolepsis to prefix the art. to the noun denoting it. e. with nouns that denote
objects or classes of objects that are known to all, as!aoCh;,bh'Z"h;,
~yIM;h;. f. in comparisons, the object compared being, as a rule, not an individual as
such, but one exhibiting the characteristics of a class. Where, however, the standard of
comparison is not the class in general, but only a particular part of it, defined by a special epithet(whether adj. or verb), the art. is naturally omitted. Where the art. is found, although a rel. clause
follows, this is prob. to be regarded not as limiting the class of object compared, but as
describing it. g. prefixed to generic nouns (in the singular) it designates the class, i.e. it impartsto the noun a collective force. h. with nouns denoting abstract ideas, esp. the names of moral
qualities, chiefly in two cases -- (a) where the art. is recognizable in the consonantal text,
exceptionally, when some emphasis or definiteness is intended. (b) where the art. depends on the
punctuation, after preps., esp. B., but with much irregularity. The Living language may have
used the art. more readily after a prep., where it did not lengthen the word by an entire syll.; still
the disparity of usage between a and b is in many cases not original but due to the punctuators.

x;yfi;[d;y";rk;z" once,ryKiz>hi oft.;ytiL'hit.
^B. of thee is my praise. V. Followed by an inf. c.,B. forms a periphrasis for the gerund,
though in English it is commonly to be rendered by a verb and conj., viz.: 1. as a temporal conj.,
as~a'r>B'hiB. in their being created = when they were created,
~t'Ayh.Bi in their being (= when they were) in the field; and constantly. Sometimes
it has in appearance the force of after that ; but as a rule this is really due to the action denoted by
the inf. being treated as extending over a period within which the action of the principal verb
takes place. 2. as a causal conj. (cf. above III. 5), aswyl'[' 'y tl;m.x,B.
through J.'s having compassion upon him,Wnt'ao 'y ta;n>fiB. through

B2254 'h;,h;,h',h, (on the use of these different forms, see the Grammars),
definite article, the -- in gen. the use of the art. in Heb. is analogous to its use in Greek orGerman: but naturally there are applications peculiar to Hebrew. -- 1. joined with substantives:
a. to mark a definite concrete object. Never, however, before true proper names, though it is used
with certain terms, chiefly geographical, of which the orig. appellative sense has not been lost, as
l[;B;h; 'Baal,' lit. 'the lord,' in pl. ~yli['B.h; i.e. the various local Baals.
b. with an adjective to denote one who exhibits a quality, i.e. to express the compar. or superl.
degree. c. with nouns which are not definite in themselves, but acquire their definition from the
context , or from the manner in which they are introduced : thus (a) in the standing phrases
~AYh; to-day;hl'y>L;h; to-night , once last night ; sohn"V'h; this
year;~[;P;h; this time. (b)rh'N"h; the river = Euprates. Hence occas. where
a suffix would define the noun more precisely, as rAmx]h; = my ass. d. it is a peculiarity
of Hebrew thought to conceive an object as defined by its being taken for a particular purpose,
and thus by a kind of prolepsis to prefix the art. to the noun denoting it. e. with nouns that denote
objects or classes of objects that are known to all, as!aoCh;,bh'Z"h;,
~yIM;h;. f. in comparisons, the object compared being, as a rule, not an individual assuch, but one exhibiting the characteristics of a class. Where, however, the standard of comparison is not the class in general, but only a particular part of it, defined by a special epithet
(whether adj. or verb), the art. is naturally omitted. Where the art. is found, although a rel. clause
follows, this is prob. to be regarded not as limiting the class of object compared, but as
describing it. g. prefixed to generic nouns (in the singular) it designates the class, i.e. it imparts
to the noun a collective force. h. with nouns denoting abstract ideas, esp. the names of moral
qualities, chiefly in two cases -- (a) where the art. is recognizable in the consonantal text,
exceptionally, when some emphasis or definiteness is intended. (b) where the art. depends on the
punctuation, after preps., esp. B., but with much irregularity. The Living language may have
used the art. more readily after a prep., where it did not lengthen the word by an entire syll.; still
the disparity of usage between a and b is in many cases not original but due to the punctuators.
i. to mark the vocative. N.B. In poetry, the article is frequently dispensed with before words
which would naturally take it in prose. 2. With adjectives, participles, and demonstrative
pronouns (awh,ayh,hmh,~h,hz,taz,hla): viz. a. (so regularly) when the
subst. qualified by these words is defined by it likewise; and with a pron., if it be defined by a
gen., but not if it be defined by a sf. Similarly when the art. with the ptcp. has a resumptive force.
b. (rare) when the subst. qualified by the adj. or ptcp. was felt to be sufficiently definite for its
8/3/2019 B Particle Preposition Hn
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/b-particle-preposition-hn 23/83
own art. to be dispensed with, as sts. with the word day; also in certain phrases where the subst.
is defined bylk; further in isolated cases, hardly reducible to rule. c. with the ptcp., where the
ptcp. with the art. forms really the subject . 3. The article is prefixed exceptionally -- mostly in
the latest Hebrew -- with the force of a relative to the verb. (pg 206)
B4780 l. prep. to, for, in regard to. Prep. denoting direction (not properly motion, as

B2254 'h;,h;,h',h, (on the use of these different forms, see the Grammars),
definite article, the -- in gen. the use of the art. in Heb. is analogous to its use in Greek or
German: but naturally there are applications peculiar to Hebrew. -- 1. joined with substantives:
a. to mark a definite concrete object. Never, however, before true proper names, though it is usedwith certain terms, chiefly geographical, of which the orig. appellative sense has not been lost, as
l[;B;h; 'Baal,' lit. 'the lord,' in pl. ~yli['B.h; i.e. the various local Baals.
b. with an adjective to denote one who exhibits a quality, i.e. to express the compar. or superl.
degree. c. with nouns which are not definite in themselves, but acquire their definition from the
context , or from the manner in which they are introduced : thus (a) in the standing phrases
~AYh; to-day;hl'y>L;h; to-night , once last night ; sohn"V'h; this
year;~[;P;h; this time. (b)rh'N"h; the river = Euprates. Hence occas. where
a suffix would define the noun more precisely, as rAmx]h; = my ass. d. it is a peculiarity
of Hebrew thought to conceive an object as defined by its being taken for a particular purpose,and thus by a kind of prolepsis to prefix the art. to the noun denoting it. e. with nouns that denote
objects or classes of objects that are known to all, as!aoCh;,bh'Z"h;,
~yIM;h;. f. in comparisons, the object compared being, as a rule, not an individual as
such, but one exhibiting the characteristics of a class. Where, however, the standard of
comparison is not the class in general, but only a particular part of it, defined by a special epithet(whether adj. or verb), the art. is naturally omitted. Where the art. is found, although a rel. clause
follows, this is prob. to be regarded not as limiting the class of object compared, but as
describing it. g. prefixed to generic nouns (in the singular) it designates the class, i.e. it impartsto the noun a collective force. h. with nouns denoting abstract ideas, esp. the names of moral
qualities, chiefly in two cases -- (a) where the art. is recognizable in the consonantal text,
exceptionally, when some emphasis or definiteness is intended. (b) where the art. depends on the
punctuation, after preps., esp. B., but with much irregularity. The Living language may have
used the art. more readily after a prep., where it did not lengthen the word by an entire syll.; still
the disparity of usage between a and b is in many cases not original but due to the punctuators.
i. to mark the vocative. N.B. In poetry, the article is frequently dispensed with before words
which would naturally take it in prose. 2. With adjectives, participles, and demonstrative

definite article, the -- in gen. the use of the art. in Heb. is analogous to its use in Greek orGerman: but naturally there are applications peculiar to Hebrew. -- 1. joined with substantives:
a. to mark a definite concrete object. Never, however, before true proper names, though it is used
with certain terms, chiefly geographical, of which the orig. appellative sense has not been lost, as
l[;B;h; 'Baal,' lit. 'the lord,' in pl. ~yli['B.h; i.e. the various local Baals.
b. with an adjective to denote one who exhibits a quality, i.e. to express the compar. or superl.degree. c. with nouns which are not definite in themselves, but acquire their definition from the
context , or from the manner in which they are introduced : thus (a) in the standing phrases
~AYh; to-day;hl'y>L;h; to-night , once last night ; sohn"V'h; this
year;~[;P;h; this time. (b)rh'N"h; the river = Euprates. Hence occas. where
a suffix would define the noun more precisely, as rAmx]h; = my ass. d. it is a peculiarity
of Hebrew thought to conceive an object as defined by its being taken for a particular purpose,
and thus by a kind of prolepsis to prefix the art. to the noun denoting it. e. with nouns that denote
objects or classes of objects that are known to all, as!aoCh;,bh'Z"h;,
~yIM;h;. f. in comparisons, the object compared being, as a rule, not an individual as
such, but one exhibiting the characteristics of a class. Where, however, the standard of
8/3/2019 B Particle Preposition Hn
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/b-particle-preposition-hn 61/83
comparison is not the class in general, but only a particular part of it, defined by a special epithet
(whether adj. or verb), the art. is naturally omitted. Where the art. is found, although a rel. clausefollows, this is prob. to be regarded not as limiting the class of object compared, but as
describing it. g. prefixed to generic nouns (in the singular) it designates the class, i.e. it imparts
to the noun a collective force. h. with nouns denoting abstract ideas, esp. the names of moral
qualities, chiefly in two cases -- (a) where the art. is recognizable in the consonantal text,exceptionally, when some emphasis or definiteness is intended. (b) where the art. depends on the
punctuation, after preps., esp. B., but with much irregularity. The Living language may have
used the art. more readily after a prep., where it did not lengthen the word by an entire syll.; still
the disparity of usage between a and b is in many cases not original but due to the punctuators.
i. to mark the vocative. N.B. In poetry, the article is frequently dispensed with before wordswhich would naturally take it in prose. 2. With adjectives, participles, and demonstrative
pronouns (awh,ayh,hmh,~h,hz,taz,hla): viz. a. (so regularly) when the
subst. qualified by these words is defined by it likewise; and with a pron., if it be defined by agen., but not if it be defined by a sf. Similarly when the art. with the ptcp. has a resumptive force.
b. (rare) when the subst. qualified by the adj. or ptcp. was felt to be sufficiently definite for itsown art. to be dispensed with, as sts. with the word day; also in certain phrases where the subst.
is defined bylk; further in isolated cases, hardly reducible to rule. c. with the ptcp., where the
ptcp. with the art. forms really the subject . 3. The article is prefixed exceptionally -- mostly inthe latest Hebrew -- with the force of a relative to the verb. (pg 206)

definite article, the -- in gen. the use of the art. in Heb. is analogous to its use in Greek orGerman: but naturally there are applications peculiar to Hebrew. -- 1. joined with substantives:
a. to mark a definite concrete object. Never, however, before true proper names, though it is used
with certain terms, chiefly geographical, of which the orig. appellative sense has not been lost, as
l[;B;h; 'Baal,' lit. 'the lord,' in pl. ~yli['B.h; i.e. the various local Baals.
b. with an adjective to denote one who exhibits a quality, i.e. to express the compar. or superl.

degree. c. with nouns which are not definite in themselves, but acquire their definition from the
context , or from the manner in which they are introduced : thus (a) in the standing phrases
~AYh; to-day;hl'y>L;h; to-night , once last night ; sohn"V'h; this
year;~[;P;h; this time. (b)rh'N"h; the river = Euprates. Hence occas. where
a suffix would define the noun more precisely, as rAmx]h; = my ass. d. it is a peculiarityof Hebrew thought to conceive an object as defined by its being taken for a particular purpose,
and thus by a kind of prolepsis to prefix the art. to the noun denoting it. e. with nouns that denote
objects or classes of objects that are known to all, as!aoCh;,bh'Z"h;,
~yIM;h;. f. in comparisons, the object compared being, as a rule, not an individual as
such, but one exhibiting the characteristics of a class. Where, however, the standard of
comparison is not the class in general, but only a particular part of it, defined by a special epithet
(whether adj. or verb), the art. is naturally omitted. Where the art. is found, although a rel. clause
follows, this is prob. to be regarded not as limiting the class of object compared, but as
describing it. g. prefixed to generic nouns (in the singular) it designates the class, i.e. it imparts
to the noun a collective force. h. with nouns denoting abstract ideas, esp. the names of moralqualities, chiefly in two cases -- (a) where the art. is recognizable in the consonantal text,
exceptionally, when some emphasis or definiteness is intended. (b) where the art. depends on the
punctuation, after preps., esp. B., but with much irregularity. The Living language may have
used the art. more readily after a prep., where it did not lengthen the word by an entire syll.; still
the disparity of usage between a and b is in many cases not original but due to the punctuators.
i. to mark the vocative. N.B. In poetry, the article is frequently dispensed with before words
which would naturally take it in prose. 2. With adjectives, participles, and demonstrative
pronouns (awh,ayh,hmh,~h,hz,taz,hla): viz. a. (so regularly) when the
subst. qualified by these words is defined by it likewise; and with a pron., if it be defined by a
gen., but not if it be defined by a sf. Similarly when the art. with the ptcp. has a resumptive force.b. (rare) when the subst. qualified by the adj. or ptcp. was felt to be sufficiently definite for its
own art. to be dispensed with, as sts. with the word day; also in certain phrases where the subst.
is defined bylk; further in isolated cases, hardly reducible to rule. c. with the ptcp., where the
ptcp. with the art. forms really the subject . 3. The article is prefixed exceptionally -- mostly in
the latest Hebrew -- with the force of a relative to the verb. (pg 206)

esp. when it forms with the preceding word a pair , whether of parallel or opposed ideas; occas.
also with a conj. accent. --w> is used very freely and widely in Heb., but also with much
delicacy, to express relations and shades of meaning which Western languages would usu.indicate by distinct particles. 1. And , connecting both words (v. supra), and sentences. When
three, four, or more words follow, the conj. may connect them all: often however, it is prefixed
only to the last; occas. even it connects only the first two. Remarkably, however,w> as a
mere conj. is, as a rule, not in classical Hebrew attached directly to verbs (esp. in the perf.), the
construction withw> consec. (v.2) being preferred: Exceptions in class. Heb. are (a) sts.
where synonyms are coupled; (b) isolated cases, difficult to reduce to rule (perh. sts. due to text.error). In later parts of OT, prob. through Aram. influence, the pf. with simple w> occurs
more freq. With the impf., the simplew> is not so unidiomatic, even in class. Heb. (cf. 3).
Special senses: a. it sts. = and specially, and (= and particularly). b. and in particular , and that
(explicative). c. sts. it introduces an idea which so exceeds or adds to what has preceded, that it is
nearly equivalent to also. Or it may be rendered yea: so esp. in the ascending numerations 3-4, 6-
7, 7-8 -- the first number being aggravated, or augmented, by a higher. In one idiom

time. d. it connects alternative cases, so that it = or (= or if ). e. it connects contrasted ideas,
where in our idiom the contrast would be expressed explicitly by but ; in such cases prominence
is usu. given to the contrasted idea by its being placed immed. after the conj.; even after al{
(whereyKi or~ai yKi might be expected). f. it introduces a contrasted idea in such
a way as to suggest a question, esp. before a pron. So the w> consec. and pf. (see 2 a). g.

waters to a thirsty soul and good news from a far country (i.e. they are like each other). More
rarely in the opp. order. k. in circumstantial clausesw> introduces a statement of the
concomitant conditions under which the action denoted by the principal verb takes place: in such
cases, the relation expressed byw> must often in Engl. be stated explicitly by a conj., as
when, since, seeing, though, etc., as occasion may require. So very often, let us build a tower

contin. of a preceding perfect tense; b. with the perf. asT'B.v;y"w> prop. so [viz. as
limited by a verb, or other term, preceding] hadst thou sat , chiefly in continuation of a precedingimperfect tense, in its various senses of future, jussive, or frequentative. Here it must suffice to
note (a)w consec. (esp. with the impf.) freq. couples two verbs in such a manner that the first,
indicating the general character of the action, receives its closer definition in the second: in such
cases, the first may often be represented in Engl. by and adv.,rPox.YIw:
bv'Y"w: and he turned and dug = and he dug again. (b) 'w: with the impf. sts.
expresses a contrast = and yet . (c) there is a tendency in the later books of the OT to use the pf.with simplew>, where the classical language would employ the impf. with 'w: (cf. supr. 1).
(d) a double pf. with w consec. is sts. used, informally but neatly, with a hypoth. force; thus (a)
in past or present time = and if (or when) (b) in fut. time = and if he leaves his father, he will die.
3. With a voluntative (cohort. or juss.) w> expresses an intention, that or so that (an elegancy
by which the too frequent use of ![;m;l. orrWb[uB; is avoided):

After a neg. so [ = in that case]. Sts. also before an imv., and be ( = that thou mayest be). A
volunt. is also sts. attached byw> to a preceding volunt. or imv., so as to form a virtually
hypothetical sentence, as Wyx.wI Wf[] tazO = if you do this, you shall live. 4.It expresses often an informal inference, or consequence, so, then, esp. at the beginning of a

yTib.y:a'w> then am I (= I will be) enemy to thy enemies; after the casus pendens;
