Chapter 4b- Hebrew Nouns exceptions to rules 1. Endingless Feminine Nouns. Not all endingless nouns are masculine singular. In a few instances, feminine ע יר (land), א. רץ singular nouns are also endingless as in (city) and א.ב ן (stone). 2. Exception to Normal Pluralization. Some singular nouns of one gender take the plural endings of the other א ב gender. For example, the masculine singular noun.א בוֹת as in וֹת (father) takes the feminine plural ending 3. Special Dual Nouns. There are three special Hebrew words that are always dual in form but normally singular in translation: שׁ מ.י ם (heaven, heavens), מ צ ר.י ם (Egypt) and מ.י ם (water). 4. Irregular Stem Change. Some Hebrew nouns will alter their actual (consonantal) stem when they add their plural endings. For example, the plural of יוֹם (day) is (men) and א נ שׁ ים (man) is א ישׁ (days), the plural of י מ ים the plural of א שּׁ ה (woman) is נ שׁ ים (women). 5. Defective Spelling of.וֹת Occasionally, the feminine plural ending וֹת will be spelled ת (with Holem rather ע ד ה than Holem Waw). For example, the plural of (congregation) may appear either as ע דוֹת or.ע דת The shorter spelling is called defective spelling and the longer spelling is called full spelling.

Chapter 9a - Pronominal Suffixes grammar summary Pronominal suffixes are pronouns that can be either possessive (his, her, our) or objective (him, her, us). These possessive and objective pronouns appear as suffixes on nouns, prepositions and the definite direct object marker. When appearing on nouns, they are possessive as in his book or her wisdom. When appearing on prepositions or the definite direct object marker, they are objective as in to them, for them, or them. All pronominal suffixes have person, gender and number. There are two sets of pronominal suffixes: Type 1 and Type 2. Both types have the same possessive and objective translation values. With few exceptions, Type 1 suffixes occur with singular nouns and Type 2 suffixes occur with plural nouns.

Chapter 10a - Construct Chain construct and absolute The first of the two nouns in the construct chain is called the construct noun and is said to be in the construct state. The second of the two nouns is called the absolute noun and is said to be in the absolute state. The absolute form of a noun is also its lexical form. ע.ב ד ה מּ.ל ך Absolute Noun Construct Noun the servant of the king
Chapter 10b - Construct Chain with attributive adjectives When an adjective modifies either the construct or absolute noun, it must follow the entire chain. It must agree with the noun it modifies in gender, number and definiteness. מ.ל ך ה א. רץ ה טּוֹב the good king of the land מ.ל ך ה א. רץ ה טּוֹב ה the king of the good land ד ב ר ה מּ. ל ך ה טּוֹב the word of the good king
Chapter 10c - Construct Chain with demonstrative adjectives Just like attributive adjectives, demonstrative adjectives must also follow the construct chain. ד ב רי ה נּ ב יא ה א.לּ ה these words of the prophet ד ב רי ה נּ ב יא ה זּ ה the words of this prophet ד ב רי ה נּ ב יא ה טּוֹב ה זּ ה the words of this good prophet ד ב ר ה נּ ב יא ה זּ ה the word of this prophet or this word of the prophet

Qamets or Tsere changes to Vocal Shewa in an open, unaccented syllable. peace שׁ לוֹם peace of שׁ לוֹם place מ קוֹם place of מ קוֹם c.

Do not to confuse this Hireq Yod with the 1cs pronominal suffix א ב י) my father ). father א ב father of א ב י brother א ח brother of א ח י The diphthong ב. י as in בּ.י ת (house) changes to Tsere Yod in the construct state. house בּ. י ת house of בּ ית spring ע.י ן spring of ע ין
Chapter 10i - Construct Chain miscellaneous nouns (b) The singular absolute of Segholate nouns is identical to its singular construct form.

Chapter 12b - Intro to Verbs verbal stems: meaning Qal Niphal Piel Pual Hiphil Hophal Hithpael Simple/Active. Qal verbs are active in voice, though a few passive forms do exist. The Qal stem also exhibits the simple or unnuanced type of action. Simple/Passive or Reflexive. The Niphal stem is used to express simple action with either a passive or reflexive voice. In other words, whatever a verb means in the Qal stem, it becomes passive or reflexive in the Niphal stem. Intensive/Active. The Piel stem is sometimes used to express an intensive type of action with an active voice. In other words, the simple action of the Qal stem will take on some type of intensive nuance in the Piel stem. Intensive/Passive. The Pual is the passive form of the Piel. The Pual stem, therefore, is used to express an intensive type of action with a passive voice. Causative/Active. The Hiphil stem is used to express causative action with an active voice. For example, the verb stem. means he was king or he reigned in the Qal מ ל ך The Hiphil form, however, is ה מ ל י ך and means he caused to reign or he made (someone) king. Causative/Passive. The Hophal is the passive form of the Hiphil. The Hophal stem, therefore, is used to express causative action with a passive voice. For example, the Hiphil verb ה מ ל י ך means he made (someone) king. The Hophal form is ה מ ל ך and it is translated he was made king. Intensive/Reflexive. The Hithpael stem is used to express an intensive type of action with a reflexive (or sometimes passive) voice. For example, the verb ח ב א means he hid in the Qal stem. The Hithpael form is ה ת ח בּ א and it means he hid himself.

Chapter 12d - Intro to Verbs verbal conjugations Perfect Imperfect Imperative Completed Action. The Perfect aspect denotes completed action, whether in the past, present or future. Incomplete Action. The Imperfect aspect denotes incomplete action, whether in the past, present or future. 2nd Person Command. The Imperative conjugation is used primarily to express direct commands, demanding immediate action from the one being addressed. Cohortative 1st Person Volitional. The Cohortative is used to express a wish, request or command. It may also be used to express purpose (in order to) or result (resulting in). Jussive Infinitive Construct Infinitive Absolute Participle 3rd Person Volitional. The Jussive conjugation is also used to express some type of mild command or strong wish. Verbal Noun. The Infinitive Construct can function much like an English Infinitive, usually translated with the preposition to plus a verb as in to study or to learn. Verbal Noun. The Hebrew Infinitive Absolute has no real English counterpart. It may be used in conjunction with other verbs to emphasize or intensify the verbal action. It may also be used in the place of an Imperative to express a command. Verbal Adjective. Verbally, the Participle expresses some type of verbal action such as studying or learning. Adjectivally, it is used much like a Hebrew adjective: attributively, predicatively or substantively.

Chapter 13a - Qal Perfect: Strong introduction The Qal Stem Qal verbs are active in voice with the simple or unnuanced type of action. The simple action of the Qal stem is further divided into transitive, intransitive and stative. 1. Transitive. Transitive verbs may take a direct object. In the example the prophet wrote the book, the word book is the direct object of the verb wrote because it receives the verbal action. 2. Intransitive. Intransitive verbs cannot take a direct object. In the example the king perished in the battle, the verb perished cannot take a direct object. Other examples of intransitive verbs include to live, to die and to fast. 3. Stative. Stative verbs are used to describe a state of being. In the example, the priest is old, the verbal construction is old describes the state or condition of the subject (the priest). In English, a stative (or state-of-being) idea is expressed with a form of the verb to be (is) and an adjective (old). In Hebrew, a stative idea is expressed ק ט ן (to be heavy) and כּ ב ד through various verbs themselves, such as (to be small). Most stative verbs are considered to be intransitive because they cannot take a direct object. The Perfect Conjugation The Perfect conjugation is used to express a completed action or state of being. It must be emphasized that the Hebrew Perfect does not have tense (time of action) apart from context and issues of syntax. Rather, it signifies aspect (type of action). The Perfect aspect designates a verbal action with its conclusion envisioned in the mind of the speaker or writer. To state it differently, the Perfect aspect denotes completed action, whether in the past, present or future.
