Hebrew Construct Chain & Introduction to Verbs

Hebrew Construct Chains

10.1 There is no word for “of” in biblical Hebrew. Rather, Hebrew expresses the “of” (possessive) relationship between two nouns by what is called the construct chain. For those who have studied Greek, the construct chain is Hebrew’s rough equivalent to the genitive case. This grammatical relationship is created by placing two or more nouns side by side.

Hebrew Construct Chains Hebrew ClauseEnglish Translation vya!h* loq The voice of the man Jr#a*h* El#m# The king of the earth El#M#h^ db#u# The servant of the king

Hebrew Construct Chains In most instances, two different translations are possible. For example, vya!h* loq may be translated as “the voice of the man” or “the man’s voice.” For the purposes of this course we will use the “of” translation.

Introduction to Hebrew Verbs

Hebrew Verbs 12.1 In the Hebrew Bible, there are just over 23,000 verses. In the midst of these verses are found almost 72,000 verbs. This means, on average, there are approximately three verbs in each verse. These statistics demonstrate that you must understand the Hebrew verbal system in form, function and meaning to succeed in the language.

Hebrew Verbs 12.2 In Hebrew, many nouns have a verbal counterpart. Each pair share a common set of consonants and related definitions. The reason for this relationship is due to the fact that they share a common root. It is very important to understand the distinction between a root and those words derived from that root. It is a distinction between root and stem.

Hebrew Verbs Hebrew roots are typically composed of three consonants, occasionally two. A root represents the origin or simlest form from which any number of Hebrew words are derived. From a root, any number of nouns or verbs may be derived.

Hebrew Verbs 12.3 In English, a verb by itself does not have person, gender or number. It must be supplied by the addition of a personal pronoun. In Hebrew, most verbs have person, gender and number. These verbal characteristics are indicated in Hebrew verbs by certain patterns of inflection. The different endings indicate person, gender and number. In Hebrew, a verb’s person, gender and number are indicated in the verbal form itself.

Hebrew Verbs Even though most Hebrew words are capable of indicating person, gender and number themselves, they may also occur with independent personal pronouns. For example, both yT!b=t^k* and yT!b=t^kyn!a& are translated “I wrote.” The addition of an independent personal pronoun typically expresses emphasis.

Hebrew Verbs 12.5 In the Hebrew verbal system, there are seven major stems: a. Qal Stem b. Niphal Stem c. Piel Stem d. Pual Stem e. Hiphil Stem f. Hophal Stem g. Hithpael Stem

Hebrew Verbs The Qal stem is the basic verbal stem. From the Qal stem, all other verbal stems are formed. Verbal stems tell us two things about the action or meaning of a verb: the type of verbal action and the voice of verbal action.

Hebrew Verbs In Hebrew, there are three basic categories of verbal action: a. Simple Action – (to break) b. Intensive Action – (to smash into pieces) c. Causative Action – (to cause to break)

Hebrew Verbal Stems 1. Qal. The Qal is the simple or basic verbal stem. Qal verbs are active in voice. The Qal stem also exhibits the simple or unnuanced type of action. An example of a verb in the Qal stem is “he heard.”

Hebrew Verbal Stems 2. Niphal. The Niphal stem is used to express simple action with either a passive or reflexive voice. Whatever a verb means in the Qal stem, it becomes passive or reflexive in the Niphal stem. An example of a verb in the Niphal stem is “he was heard” (passive) or “he heard himself” (reflexive).

Hebrew Verbal Stems 3. Piel. The Piel stem is sometimes used to express an intensive type of action with an active voice. The simple action of the Qal stem will take on some type of intensive nuance in the Piel stem. An example of a verb in the Piel stem is “he smashed into pieces” (the same word in the Qal would be “he broke”).

Hebrew Verbal Stems 4. Pual. The Pual is the passive form of the Piel. The Pual stem is used to express an intensive type of action with a passive voice. An example of a verb in the Pual stem is “he was smashed into pieces” (the same word in the Piel would be “he smashed into pieces”).

Hebrew Verbal Stems 5. Hiphil. The Hiphil stem is used to express causative action with an active voice. An example of a verb in the Hiphil stem is “he caused to reign” (the same word in the Qal would be “he reigned”).

Hebrew Verbal Stems 6. Hophal. The Hophal is the passive form of the Hiphil. The Hophal stem is used to express causative action with a passive voice. An example of a verb in the Hophal is “he was made to be king” (the same word in the Hiphil stem is “he caused to reign”).

Hebrew Verbal Stems 7. Hithpael. The Hithpael stem is used to express an intensive type of action with a reflexive voice. An example of a verb in the Hithpael stem is “he hid himself” (the same word in the Qal stem is “he hid”).

Verbal Conjugations 1. Perfect. The perfect conjugation is used to express completed action or state of being. Example: “He studied” or “He had studied” or “He will have studied”.

Verbal Conjugations 2. Imperfect. The imperfect conjugation is used to express incomplete action and is translated by the English present tense or future tense. The Hebrew imperfect is also used to denote habitual or customary action, whether in the past, present or future.

Verbal Conjugations 3. Imperative. The imperative conjugation is used primarily to express direct commands, demanding immediate action from the one being addressed. It can also be used to request permission or communicate a request. It is translated usually in the second person. Example: “You defend the cause of the weak!”

Verbal Conjugations 4. Cohortative. The cohortative subjugation is used much like the Imperative, to express a wish, request or command. It may also be used to express purpose or result. The Cohortative conjugation occurs in the first person. Example: “Let me honor the Lord!”

Verbal Conjugations 5. Jussive. The Jussive conjugation is also used to express either some type of mild command or strong wish. It occurs only in the third person, singular and plural. Example: “May the Lord give to me another son.”

Verbal Conjugations 6. Infinitive Construct. An Infinitive is a verbal noun. In Hebrew, there are two Infinitive forms: The Infinitive Construct and the Infinitive Absolute. The Infinitive Construct is usually translated with the preposition “to” plus a verb as in “to study” or “to learn.”

Verbal Conjugations 7. Infinitive Absolute. 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 two verbal actions occurring at the same time.

Verbal Conjugations 8. Participle. A Participle is a verbal adjective. Verbally, it expresses some type of verbal action such as “studying” or “learning.”

Hebrew Verbs Word Order in the Hebrew Verbal Sentence. In English, the ordering of words in a sentence helps to identify the function of those words. For example, in the sentence “Jacob loved Rachel,” Jacob is the subject of the verb because his name precedes the verb. Additionally, Rachel is the object of the verb because her name follows the verb. In Hebrew, normal word order for a verbal sentence is verb-subject-object.

Hebrew Verbs Parsing Hebrew Words. Parsing is the process whereby you will identify a verb’s stem, conjugation, person, gender, number and lexical form. BibleWorks™ 5.0 will provide you this information. You will be provided a parsing form which you will fill out for each verse assigned.
