Hebrew idiom also says בָּהָר in the mountain Shemos 24:18 etc., even in cases where we could hardly avoid saying on, as Melachim Alef 11:7; Melachim Alef 19:11: so בְּחֹרֵב Devarim 1:6 and elsewhere; בְּרֹאשׁ הָהָר Shemos 24:17 Tehillim 72:16. Preceded by a verb of motion (especially עָבַר) בְּ = through, as Breishis 12:6 and Abram passed through בָּאָרֶץ in the land = passed through it, Breishis 13:17 Shmuel Beis 24:2 +; in (= through) a gate, Yeshaya 62:10 Yirmiya 17:19 Micha 2:13. Fig. to speak בְּאָזְנֵי in the ears of …; to be good (or evil, etc.) בְּעֵינֵי in the eyes of …

of presence in the midst of a multitude, among Shemos 14:28 there was not left בָּהֶם among them even one, Vayikra 26:36 Shmuel Beis 15:31 Ahitophel בַּקּשְׁרִים is among the conspirators, Melachim Beis 18:5 בְּכֹל מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה. So בְּךָ in thee (of Israel, coll.) Devarim 7:14; Devarim 15:4, Devarim 15:7; Devarim 18:10; Devarim 23:11; Devarim 28:54 (diff. from עִמָּ֑ךְ beside thee Vayikra 25:35).—Spec.

with ref. to the limits enclosing a space, within: Shemos 20:10 בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ within thy gates, Yeshaya 56:5 בְּחוֹמֹתַי within my walls.

applied to time, as Breishis 1:1 בְּרֵאשִׁית in the beginning; Breishis 2:2 בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי on the seventh day (see יוֹם 7 g); Shoftim 10:8 בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא in that year; & constantly.

בְּ introduces the predicate, denoting it as that in which the subj. consists, or in which it shews itself (the Beth essentiae,—common in Arabic, especially with a ptcp. or adjective and in a negative sentence: Qor 2:79 وَمَا آللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ and God (appears) not as one remiss; 2:7 وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ and they are not believers [comp. French en—en honnête homme]; see W^{AG ii. § 56 a}): viz.

at, by (rare): Devarim 2:4 Shmuel Alef 29:1 בָּעַיִן by the spring; Yechezkel 10:15, Yechezkel 10:20 בִּנְהַר כְּבָר by the river Chebar (Yechezkel 1:3 עַל) Tehillim 27:6.

of the instrument or means: as

of cost or price (the Beth pretii), the price, whether given or received, being treated as the instrumental means by which the act is accomplished, with, for, at the cost of: thus regularly

rather peculiarly, in certain cases where the object of an action may be treated as the instrument by which it is effected: as הֵנִיעַ בְּרֹאֹשׁ to shake with the head Tehillim 109:25 Iyov 16:4 (הֵנִיעַ רֹאֹשׁ Tehillim 22:8 Eicha 2:15 Yeshaya 37:22); to open with the mouth Iyov 16:10, with the lips Tehillim 22:8; to gnash with the teeth Iyov 16:9 (to gnash the teeth Tehillim 35:16); to wink with the eye Mishlei 6:13 (to wink the eye, ib.

So קָרָא בְּשֵׁם to call with the name—in diff. senses, according to the context, viz. to proclaim Shemos 33:19; Shemos 34:5; Yeshaya 44:5; Tehillim 49:12; to invoke Breishis 4:26; Breishis 12:8; Melachim Alef 18:24-26; Yeshaya 12:4; to name honourably Yeshaya 43:1; Yeshaya 45:3. Cf. Ewald's Hebrew Grammar § 282 d Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar (ed. Kautzsch) § 119. 3 b R. W^{AG ii. § 56 b β} De Iyov 31:12; Mishlei 20:30.

with a causal force, through, on account of: Breishis 18:28 הֲתַשְׁחִית בַּחֲמִשָּׁה wilt thou destroy on account of five the whole city? Vayikra 26:39 Bamidbar 16:26; Devarim 9:4, Devarim 9:5; Devarim 24:16; אִישׁ בְּחֶטְאוֹ יוּמָֽתוּ׃ they shall be put to death, each because of his own sin (compare Yirmiya 31:30; Yechezkel 3:18, see Yechezkel 18:17) Shmuel Beis 3:27; Shmuel Beis 14:7 (compare Yonah 1:14) Yeshaya 7:4 (‖ מִן) Yeshaya 28:7 (‖ מִן) Yeshaya 50:1; Yeshaya 53:5; Yeshaya 57:17; Yirmiya 51:46; Tehillim 5:8, Tehillim 5:11; Tehillim 6:8 (‖ מִן) Tehillim 31:10; Tehillim 32:3; Tehillim 42:10; Tehillim 90:9; Tehillim 94:23. So in בַּאֲשֶׁר, בִּגְלַל (see אֲשֶׁר, גָּלָל), & (sometimes) in בִּדְבַר at, through, the word of.…

of the material with which a work is wrought, both absol. עָשָׁה בַזָּהָב to work with gold Shemos 31:4; Melachim Alef 7:14; and to make a thing with (in our idiom, of) gold Shemos 38:8; Yechezkel 7:20; Melachim Alef 15:22 (בָּנָה). Without a verb Vayikra 13:52; Divrei HaYamim Beis 9:18.

with for although, in spite of (compare Germ. bei alle dem): Vayikra 26:27; Bamidbar 14:11 בְּכֹל הָאֹתוֹת in spite of all the signs that I have wrought, Devarim 1:32; Yeshaya 47:9; Tehillim 27:3; especially in the phrase בְּכָל־זֹאת for all this Yeshaya 5:25; Yeshaya 9:11, Yeshaya 9:16, Yeshaya 9:20; Yeshaya 10:4; Tehillim 78:32 and elsewhere (Cf. in Arabic بِمَا Qor 9:25.)

of a standard of measurement or computation, with, by: Shemos 12:4 בְּמִכְסַת נְפָשֹׁת by the computation of souls; Vayikra 5:25 and elsewhere בְּעֶרְכְּךָ by thy reckoning; Yechezkel 4:10; בְּמִסְפָּר by number Devarim 25:2 +; בְּמִסְפַּר … by the number of … Vayikra 25:15, Vayikra 25:50; Bamidbar 1:2, etc.; בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ Shemos 30:13 and elsewhere (in P); בָּאַמָּה often (see אַמָּה); Devarim 3:11 בְּאַמַּת אִישׁ by the cubit of a man; Shmuel Beis 14:26 בְּאֶבֶן הַמֶּלֶךְ. Of a model, Breishis 1:26 בְּצַלְמֵנוּ in our image, Breishis 5:1, Breishis 5:3; Shemos 25:40; בְּדֶרֶךְ with the way (= in the manner) of … Yeshaya 10:24, Yeshaya 10:26; Amos 4:10.

with verbs of taking refuge, trusting, relying, as הֶאֱמִין, בָּטַח, חָסָה, נִשְׁעַן.

with verbs of ruling, governing, restraining, as מָלַךְ, מָשַׁל, נָגַשׂ, עָצַר, רָדָה, שָׁלַט.

with verbs of rejoicing, feeling pleasure or satisfaction, etc., as גִּיל, עָלַץ, שׂוּשׂ, שָׂמֵחַ, חָפֵץ, רָצָה, שָׂבַע (but with this verb מִן is more common). [Prob. a case of III. 5.]

with verbs expressive of sensible perception, to denote the pleasurable or attentive exercise of the faculty concerned, as שָׁמַע בְּ to listen to, הִבִּיט בְּ, רָאָה, חָזָה, to look upon, הֵרִיחַ בְּ to smell at (see these words).

occasionally also with verbs of speaking, thinking, mentioning, knowing, to denote the object of the action, as דִּבֶּר בְּ to speak about Devarim 6:7; Tehillim 87:3 and elsewhere (see under דִּבֶּר); הִלֵּל בְּ, הָגָה, שִׂיחַ Tehillim 44:9; Tehillim 63:7; Tehillim 69:13; יָדַע Yirmiya 38:24; זָכַר once Yirmiya 3:16, הִזְכִּיר often; Tehillim 71:6 בְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי of thee is my praise.

as a temporal conjunction, as Breishis 2:4 בְּהִבָּֽרְאָם in their being created = when they were created, Breishis 4:8 בִּהְיוֹתָם in their being (= when they were) in the field; and constantly. Sometimes it has in appearance the force of after that, as Breishis 33:18 Shemos 3:12; Shemos 13:17; but as a rule this is really due to the action denoted by the inf. being treated as extending over a period within which the action of the principal verb takes place: so especially in the phrase בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם, even of events at the close of the 40 years, Devarim 4:45; Devarim 23:5 Yehoshua 5:4; the whole period being treated as that in which Egypt was left (comp. Melachim Beis 2:1, where the time included is future). Cases, however, occur in which this explanation will hardly apply, as Devarim 27:4, Devarim 27:12.

as a causal conjunction (compare above iii. 5), as Breishis 19:16 בְּחֶמְלַת י׳ עָלָיו through J.’s having compassion upon him, Shemos 16:7; Shemos 33:16; Shemos 34:29 Devarim 1:27 בְּשִׂנְאַת י׳ אֹתָנוּ through J.’s hating us, etc. (Devarim 9:28 similarly מִן), Melachim Alef 18:18 (= in that ye have …) Yechezkel 9:8; Yechezkel 43:8; Yechezkel 44:7 Divrei HaYamim Beis 28:6.

as a concessive conjunction, when = though: Yeshaya 1:15 Tehillim 46:3 בְּהָמִיר אָ֑רֶץ though the earth do change.

c. ָה location בְּאֵ֫רָה a station of Isr. in desert Bamidbar 21:16, possibly = בְּאֵר אֵילִים Yeshaya 15:8.

c. מִן pregnant, בָּֽגְדָה אִשָּׁה מֵרֵעָהּ acteth treacherously (in departing) from her friend Yirmiya 3:20. The ptcp. is used Mishlei 2:22 + 8 times, Tehillim 25:3; Tehillim 59:6; Tehillim 119:158 Yeshaya 21:2; Yeshaya 24:16^(×2); Yeshaya 33:1 Yirmiya 3:8, Yirmiya 3:11; Yirmiya 9:1 Chavakuk 1:13; Chavakuk 2:5; בֹּגְדֵי בָ֑גֶד dealers treacherously in treachery (very treacherously) Yirmiya 12:1.

as adverb of limitation, †Yeshaya 26:13 only through thee do we celebrate thy name, Shemos 7:29.
