- full force of command
- eg. “Eat your food.”
- form similar to 2nd person imperfect, though the ת form prefix has been dropped
- jussive
- 3rd person
- not full force of command
- eg. “Let him eat his food.”
- also used for 2nd person commands that are negated with the word אַל
- form identical to imperfect
- cohortative
- 1st person
- not full force of command
- eg. “Let us eat our food.”
- form identical to imperfect, though at times with a ה added to the end
- Infinitive-construct
- uninflected form of a verb
- often prefixed with the preposition ל, or another prepostion
- Infinitive-absolute
- never connects to a prefix or suffix
- intensifies a verb when it appears with one of the same root and stem
- can serve various other grammatical functions
בעד חיים (pro-life)
As is true throughout the world in our day, the unborn in Israel are dismissed as less than human and thus not deserving of protection. Not only is abortion legal in Israel, but it is common and often funded by the government. This is a horrible reality and something we invite you to join us in praying against—or to say it positively, that you would pray with us for life.
Meet Be’ad Chaim, an organization made mainly up of volunteers, pouring their time and hearts out to save the smallest among us.
בעד חייםBe'ad Chaim (Hebrew for "Pro-Life") has fought for the protection of mothers and children in Israel since 1988. Our offices span throughout Israel, providing services which include education, counseling, and tangible provision for needy mothers.
