Lesson 9 | Suffixes + Construct Form
Review
You’ve now been introduced to all core aspects of nouns—including prefixes and suffixes. Next up for Hebrew II: verbs! But first, we have one more vocab lesson.
What we learned this lesson
- Types of suffixes
- Pronoun
- attached to nouns = possession
- attached to verbs (and prepositions) = object
- can attach to בְּ or לְ alone, without a base word
- Directional ה = to...
- Paragogic ה or ן = [no meaning]
- Construct chains
- English equivalent to combining words with “of”
- Pronoun suffixes are a type of construct
- Construct chains are definite in their entirety if the final word in the chain is definite
- All words in the chain except the last appear in construct form
Israel Connection: Yuval — Worship Center of Music and the Arts
Meet one of the leaders of a music center located in Jerusalem called Yuval (the name of the first musician mentioned in the Bible—Genesis 4:21).
Yuval — Worship Center of Music and the ArtsYuval’s vision: We are created to worship God and to use our gifts for his glory. Worship is the matter of the heart—the attitude with which we live our lives to God. It is whatever we do, however we speak, sing, play, act, dance, create, etc. At Yuval, we aim to teach worship that is in spirit and in truth, God-centered, Messiah-seeking, disciplined, reverent, expectant, skillful and holistic.
