How to tell the diffference
There are 3 rules used to distinguish
between a Dagesh Lene (only in BeGeD
KeFaT letter) & a Dagesh Forte,
1. A dot in any letter other than a BeGeD
KeFaT letter is a dagesh forte and
indicates the doubling of that letter.
2. A dot in a BeGeD KeFaT letter will be
a dagesh lene whenever that letter is not
immediately preceded by a vowel.
3. A dot in a BeGeD KeFaT letter will be
a dagesh forte whenever that letter 14
is immediately preceded by a vowel.
There are 5 letters that are written differently when at the end of a word.

Gender
In Hebrew, unlike English, words / things / nouns have gender,
masculine or feminine.
Masculine

Feminine
queen

Nouns - Plurals
In English if we want to say more than one of something we put an 's'
at the end of the word, this is called a plural.
For example,
singular

House
Book
Law
Houses
Books

In Hebrew there two letters that are added to the end of the word to signify a plural.

We have looked at singular and plural nouns. That is, things or people denoting
one or many. There is a third type of Noun called a Dual, meaning a pair.
The Dual looks pretty similar to a masculine plural which ends in
But the vowel sound is a little different,
For example,
hand
ear
eye
foot
wing
lip
We add to words ending in
a pair of hands
a pair of ears
a pair of eyes
a pair of feet
a pair of wings
a pair of lips

Letters are used for chapter and verse 'numbers' much like Roman Numerals are in older
English bibles.

Numeric values of words can be calculated also.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number

For example,

or
My Camel
or
Our Camel
or
Their Camel
Their Camels
So these are just letters added to the end (suffixes) to tell us who something/one belongs to.
Well a similar thing is done with verbs (doing words) -we add a suffix to the verb.
But instead of who something belongs to we are interested in who has done (verb) something.

Biblical Hebrew
An Introductory Grammar

LESSON XII
Lessons
Strangely, in biblical Hebrew if we write the letter Vav, , for 'and' at the
beginning of a verb it will change from 'past tense' to 'future tense'.
This property of the Vav is called the Vav Consecutive or Vav Relative.
This is why the Qal Perfect is called a perfect and not just a past tense verb.
- It is usually a past tense verb,
- but when a vav, , (meaning 'and' or 'but') is added the verb becomes a 'future tense' verb.

So we see that...
He was, He is, He will be.
If God is outside of time then it stands to reason that his view of history
would be very different from ours.
In fact He would be able to not only see the end from the beginning,
he would be able to turn to any page...
...after all, the world was made by His word
(Genesis 1, John 1 In the beginning was the word...)
We are like the words on the page, but God,
the author can turn to any page of history.
And he can take his servants the bible prophets and show them things in the future!!!
So we can begin to see what the Vav is all about...
The Vav Consecutive
shows us Yahweh's timelessness, (both the Father and the
Son) because the Vav changes the past into the future when added to a verb. 110

Genesis 1:1

The events of the book of Revelation are heading towards the events of Genesis
.
There, in the beginning,
, the Heavens & Earth were created, later Babel was built,
then it was destroyed (Rev. 18) and a New Heaven and Earth is created (Rev. 21).
i.e. we have come full circle. Yahweh's will is finally done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Therefore,
111
we should not at all be surprised that the vav, , that connects the Heaven & ( ) Earth when put at
the beginning of a verb changes a verbs tense from last to first, from past to future (or future to past!).

I have perhaps given you a taste of the unusual nature of the Hebrew Grammar in relationship
to time. Now that you can begin to see the otherworldliness and heavenly dimension of the
word of God in Hebrew, let's get back down to earth and look at some more examples of the
Vav Consecutive changing the Qal Perfect 'past tense' verb into the 'future tense'.

You will come across the Vav Consecutive,, on almost every verse so it is important,
and it can be confusing when first learning the perfect and imperfect verb forms.
The Next lesson (7) will be about 'future tense' words using the Qal Imperfect
(They are changed to 'past tense' verbs using the Vav Consecutive.)

Simply print out the tables for the;
Pronominal Suffixes in Lesson 5.
Perfect and Imperfect forms of the Qal verb stem in Lessons 6 & 7.
2. Concentrate on Vocabulary! (at the end of this Lesson next slide!)
Learn the most common words first! (a few hundred words would be a great help for the
next step....
...which is;
3. Start reading the bible in Hebrew! Once I got some words & simple grammar under my belt
I decided to just read the bible in Hebrew. I determined not to read it in English at all but to
devote all my daily bible reading time to reading in Hebrew only. Of course I had an English
translation nearby to help with the Hebrew.
Now there are free interlinear bibles for PC such as ISA. You can also use e-sword or Davar3
also available for free (see free software section). Even if you don't cover the same amount of
scripture in your daily readings while reading Hebrew, you will slowly gain a greater depth of
insight.
Persevere, after a few years of disciplined study and gradual gain of vocabulary you will be
able to gain much more insight than from an English bible, as good as they are. There is just no
substitute for the original Hebrew in terms of the depth of understanding that can be gained, with
of course the Spirit of Yahweh, the Ruach HaKodesh teaching us.

Remember, verbs are 'doing words', they are all about action.
And so the term Action, describes, well, action!
Object & Subject
In Hebrew Grammar there are 3 types of Action. fully we need to discuss two
Simple
He killed
grammar terms, object & subject.
Intensive
He slaughtered!
David defeated the enemy.
Causative He caused to kill
Voice
Stems
And so the Hebrew verb has thus got Action & Voice built into it.
There 7 different combinations of Action & Voice.
Each different combination is called a stem. Let's find out more...
158
Stems
Verb Stems
The most basic form of any verb is derived from a Root. From the verb root,
the stems are derived. They are simply different combinations of;
Action

Definitions
Hebrew Verbs are Strong or Weak.
We have looked at Strong Verbs so far in our Qal Perfect and Imperfect
Verb tables.
The Qal Perfect 3ms is the simplest form of a Hebrew verb. Qal ( )
means light (Qalal - ) . It designates the simple active stem of the verb.
We have seen the 6 derived stems from Qal in part one of Lesson 8.
Not all verbs and their stems are Strong Verbs.
For example some verbs have 2 consonants, called hollow verbs.
A strong verb must have three consonants, ??? in its Qal perfect third
masculine singular form.

Verb Tables
You have seen the Strong Verb table
for the Perfect & Imperfect in Lesson 7.
Grammar books usually have lots & lots
of tables of Weak Verbs also.
It's not necessary to know all that to
read biblical Hebrew.
It's enough to know that they exist (i.e.
weak verbs have different vowels in
their conjugations).
