Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Nouns
Hebrew nouns have gender: masculine and feminine Three number forms: singular, plural, and dual Examples: איש (man - masculine), אשה (woman - feminine) Dual form for pairs: ידיים (hands), עיניים (eyes)
Exploring Cases and Construct State
{"left":"Subject (who does the action)\nObject (receives the action)\nPossessive (shows ownership)","right":"Construct State: בית ספר (school - literally 'house of book')\nUsed for possession and close relationships\nFirst noun changes form, second stays normal"}
Articles and Adjective Agreement
Definite article: ה (ha-) attaches to the beginning Adjectives must agree with nouns in gender and number Example: האיש הטוב (the good man - masculine singular) Example: הנשים הטובות (the good women - feminine plural)
