 (e) Collocation of the thing and its name, e.g. (perhaps only a later gloss), ;  ( probably only a later gloss), ; cf. , (see under g below).—For examples of nouns in the construct state before a noun in apposition, see.

Rem. 1. Only in certain combinations does the noun of nearer definition come first, e.g., (less frequently  as in , , , , , and in late Hebrew, , 15 [cf. the Aramaic order ], and often in Chron.).—A chiasmus occurs in , the name standing after the defining noun in the first part of the verse, and before it in the parallel clause.

2. When the  or a preposition precedes the first substantive, it may be repeated before the noun in apposition, e.g., , , , ; this usually occurs when the nearer definition precedes a proper name. As a rule, however, the repetition does not take place. A noun in apposition is made determinate, even after a noun with a prefix, in the ordinary way, e.g., &c.

3. Sometimes a second adjective is used in apposition to a preceding adjective, in order to modify in some way the meaning of the first, e.g.  (light red) bright spot.

4. Permutation is to be regarded as a variety of apposition. It is not complementary like apposition proper (see a above), but rather defines the preceding substantive (or pronoun, see below), in order to prevent any possible misunderstanding. This includes cases like with the life thereof (which is) the blood thereof;, , ,  an hundred thousand rams, the wool, i.e. the wool of the rams;  this cup of the wine, that is of fury (but  is probably a gloss);  he poured upon him fury, namely his anger; but especially the examples in which such a permutative is added to a preceding pronoun, viz.—

(a) To a separate pronoun, e.g. ; with regard to the vocative, cf. .

(b) To an accusative suffix, e.g. she saw him, the child (unless  be a later gloss);, b,  (where, indeed,  appears to be a late gloss); 21:13,  , , , ,  (according to Delitzsch rather a double accusative).

(c) To a noun-suffix, e.g. ; 42:14; cf. (?), ; so also after a preposition with suffix, e.g. ; with a repetition of the preposition,,  ; , ,
