 nouns, must also be considered in gen. Gen. 3:17 בַּֽעֲבוּרֶךָ for thy sake, 39:10 אֶעְלָהּ beside her (at her side).

(b) The verbal suff. is in acc. of direct obj. Gen. 3:13 הַנָּחָשׁ הִשִּׁיאַנִי the serpent beguiled me. 4:8 וַיַּֽהַרְגֵהוּ and slew him. See § 73, R. 4. The suff. to אֵת is also acc. Gen. 40:4 וַיְשָׁרֶת אֹתָם he served them. 41:10.

§ 3. The adj. being but feebly developed the relation of a noun to its material, quality, and the like is often expressed by the gen. הַר קֹדֶשׁ hill of holiness, holy hill. In such cases the suff. is gen. to the whole expression. Ps. 2:6 הַר קָדְשִׁי my holy-hill. Is. 2:20 אֱלִילֵי זְהָבוֹ his idols-of-gold. 13:3; 30:22, 23; 53:5. On constructions like Lev. 6:3 מִדּוֹ בַד his linen garment, see Nomin. Appos.

The noun with suff., forming a definite expression, the qualifying adj. has the Art. Gen. 43:29 הֲזֶה אֲחִיכֶם הַקָּטֹן is this your youngest brother.

Rem. 1. The suff. to some particles which have a certain verbal force, as הִנֵּה behold, יֵשׁ there is, אַיִן there is not, עוֹד still, are partly verbal in form (Gr. § 49). But suff. of 1st pers. is בְּעוֹדִי in the sense while I have being, Ps. 104:33; 146:2, and מֵֽעוֹדִי since I had being, Gen. 48:15 (Nu. 22:30). In ordinary sense Ps. 139:18.

Rem. 2. These uses of the suff. are to be noted. Ex. 2:9 אֶתֵּן את־שְׂכָרֵךְ I will give thy hire, i.e. give thee hire. Gen. 30:18, Jud. 4:9 לא תִֽהְיֶה תִּפְאַרְתְּךָ the glory shall not be thine. Gen. 39:21 וַיִּתֵּן חִנּוֹ gave him favour. Ez. 27:15 rendered thee tribute. Nu. 12:6, text doubtful. Ps. 115:7? Job 6:10, Hos. 2:8 (her wall = a wall against her).

Rem. 3. 1 S. 30:17 לְמָֽחֳרָתָם their following day, the use of suff. is unique in Heb., though something analogous is common in Ar. The text is dubious.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

§ 4. The Demons. pron. זֶה and הוּא. are used as in Eng. Jud. 4:14 זֶה הַיּוֹם this is the day. Gen. 41:28 הוּא הַדָּבָר
