 rel. or descriptive), particularly in designations of time and place: Gen. 40:3 מְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יוֹסֵף אָסוּר שָׁם the place where J. was confined; Is. 29:1 קִרְיַת חָנָה דָוִד thou city where D. dwelt; 1 S. 25:15 כָּל־יְמֵי הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ אִתָּם all the days we were conversant with them; Ex. 4:13 שְׁלַח־נָא בְּיַד־תִּשְׁלַח send by the hand of him whom thou wilt send (send by means of some one else); 6:28 בְּיוֹם דִּבֶּר יהוה on the day Je. spoke. Gen. 39:20, Deu. 32:35, 2 S. 15:21, 1 K. 21:19, Jer. 22:12; 36:2; 48:36, Hos. 1:2; 2:1, Ps. 4:8; 18:1; 56:4, 10; 59:17; 65:5; 81:6; 90:15; 102:3; 104:8; 137:8, 9; 138:3; 146:5, Pr. 8:32, Lev. 13:46; 14:46, Nu. 3:1; 9:18, Job 6:17, 2 Chr. 29:27.

§ 26. In annexion the determining Art. is prefixed to the gen. Both members of the expression are usually indef. when the Art. is wanting, and both usually def. when it is present.

§ 27. As in annexion the two members form a single expression, nothing (except the Art. to the gen. and the ה of direction to the cons.) can come between them. (a) An adj. qualifying either of the members must stand outside the expression. Jo. 3:4 יוֹם י׳ הַגָּדוֹל the great day of the Lord, Gen. 27:15 בִּגְדֵי עֵשָׂו בְּנָהּ הַגָּדֹל הַֽחֲמֻדוֹת the best garments of her elder son Esau; Gen. 10:21 אֲחִי יֶפֶת הַֹגָּדוֹל the elder brother of Japheth; 44:14 וַיָּבֹא בֵּיתָה יוֹסֵף he came to the
