בְּ

prep. in (Moab. בּ, Syriac ܒ, Arabic ب, Ethiopic በ ) before tone-syllables in certain cases (Ges^{§ 102. 2}) בָּ, with suff. בִּי; בְּךָ (Shemos 7:29 Kt. Shmuel Beis 22:30 Tehillim 141:8 בְּכָה), in pause and fem. בָּךְ; בּוֹ (once, Yirmiya 17:24 Kt בֹּה), בָּהּ; בָּנוּ; בָּכֶם, [בָּכֶן]; בָּהֶם, בָּם [also בָּהֵ֫מָּה †Shemos 30:4; Shemos 36:1 Chavakuk 1:16], בָּהֶן †Shmuel Alef 31:7 Yeshaya 38:16 Yechezkel 42:14 [15 times בָּהֵן (Fr^{MM 235}), and thrice, Vayikra 5:22 Bamidbar 13:19 Yirmiya 5:17, בָּהֵ֫נָּה]. Prep. denoting properly in, Gk. ἐν, but applied in many derived and fig. significations. The senses expressed by בְּ are grouped by the Rabbis in three classes, בֵּית הַכְּלִי Beth vasculi, בֵּית הַדִּיבִּוּק וְהַנְּגִיעָה Beth coniunctionis et viciniae, בֵּית הָעֵזֶר Beth auxilii; and the same arrangement may be followed here, though the limits between the three classes are not clearly defined, and they sometimes overlap one another.

In:

strictly, of position in a place (which often is expressed more precisely by בְּקֶרֶב, בְּתוֹךְ) as בַּבַּיִת in the house, בָּעִיר in the city, בַּדּוּד in the pot, בָּאָרֶץ in the land, etc. constantly. Heb. 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 al.; 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.

of an individ., implying eminency among: Yehoshua 14:15 Yirmiya 46:18 Tabor among the mountains, Yirmiya 49:15 Mishlei 30:30 Shir HaShirim 1:8 הַיָּפָה בַנָּשִׁים the fair one (= the fairest) among women, Eicha 1:1: cf. Luke 1:42. On Shmuel Alef 17:12 v. Dr.

hence with some verbs, when the action refers to only a part of the object, as הִכָּהַ בְּ to smite among … i.e. to smite some of … Shmuel Beis 2:31; cf. הָפַךְ בְּ Amos 4:11; הָרַג בְּ Tehillim 78:31; נָשָׂא בְּ to bear in, i.e. to share in bearing, Bamidbar 11:17 al.; בָּנָה בְּ to build in or at Zecharia 6:15 Nechemia 4:4; עָשָׂה בְּ Shemos 5:9; עָמַל בְּ to toil on Yonah 4:10 Tehillim 127:1; אָכַל בְּ, שָׁתָה בְּ to eat or drink of Shoftim 13:16 Mishlei 9:5; חָלַק בְּ to give a share in Iyov 39:17.

specifying the parts of which a whole consists (especially in P) Breishis 7:21; Breishis 8:17; Breishis 9:10, Breishis 9:16; Breishis 17:23 Shemos 12:19 Bamidbar 31:11, Bamidbar 31:26 Hoshea 4:3.

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

often pregn. with verbs of motion, when the movement to a place results in rest in it, into: after בָּא Breishis 19:8 Yeshaya 19:23; נָתַן Breishis 27:17; שָׁלַח to send Vayikra 16:22; in among Yehoshua 23:7, Yehoshua 23:12 Melachim Alef 11:2.—Hoshea 12:7 (an extreme case) שׁוּב בְּ to return (and rest) in thy God, Shmuel Alef 16:3 (unless לַזָּבַ֑ח should be read, as v Shmuel Alef 16:5).—עַיִן בְּעַיִן (with) eye (looking) into eye †Bamidbar 14:14 Yeshaya 52:8; פָּנִים בְּפָנִים †Devarim 5:4; עֵינֵי פְ׳ בְּ the eyes of … are upon, both in favourable (Devarim 11:12 Tehillim 101:6) and hostile (Amos 9:8 Iyov 7:8) sense.

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

of a state or condition, whether material or mental, in which an action takes place: so בְּשָׁלוֹם in peace Breishis 15:15; בַּצָּרָה Tehillim 81:8 בְּצָ׳ Tehillim 91:15 in distress; הָלַךְ בְּתֻמּוֹ to walk in his integrity Mishlei 28:6; Shemos 5:19 בְּרָע in evil case.

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 adj. 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]; v. W^{AG ii. § 56 a}): viz.

a primary pred., Shemos 18:4 the God of my fathers בְּעֶזְרִי was my help, Tehillim 146:5 Hoshea 13:9 (read כִּי מִי בְעֶזְרֶֽךָ ׃ with 𝔊 𝔖 Che al.); Tehillim 68:5 בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ his name consists in Yah, Iyov 23:13; Iyov 37:10. With the pred. in the pl. (as pl. maj.) Tehillim 118:7 י׳ בְּעֹזְרָ֑י J. is my great helper, Tehillim 54:5 (v. Che), Shoftim 11:35.

a secondary pred., Shemos 6:3 and I appeared unto them בְּאֵל שַׁדָּ֑י as God Almighty, Bamidbar 26:53 בְּנַחֲלָה as an inheritance, Bamidbar 34:2; Yechezkel 46:16: Yechezkel 47:14 Devarim 10:22; Devarim 26:14 I have not put away therefrom בְּטָמֵא as one unclean = while unclean, Devarim 28:62 Yeshaya 40:10 בְּחָזָק יָבוֹא he cometh as a strong one, Tehillim 35:2 (where v. De) and rise up as my help, v Tehillim 35:16, Tehillim 39:7; Tehillim 55:19; Mishlei 3:26; Iyov 36:32 (De); cf. Devarim 33:26; Shmuel Alef 17:11; Nachum 3:9.

a pred. as accus., Devarim 1:13 וַאֲשִׂימֵם בְּרָאשֵׁיכֶם that I may make them heads over you; Yehoshua 21:12; Yechezkel 20:41; Bamidbar 18:26; Bamidbar 36:2; Yehoshua 13:6, Yehoshua 13:7; Yehoshua 23:4; Yechezkel 45:1; Yechezkel 47:22^(×2) (read יַפִּלוּ) Yechezkel 48:29 (v. 𝔊 Co) all בְּנַחֲלָה (cf. b.), Tehillim 78:55 & allotted it בְּחֶבֶל נַחֲלָה as a line of inheritance (i.e. as a measured inheritance). Yeshaya 26:4 כִּי בְּיָהּ יהוה צוּר עוֹלָמִים י׳ is different—for in Yah there is a rock of ages (cf. Qor 4:7, 47 there is sufficiency in God as a patron).

in comparisons, Tehillim 37:20 consume away בֶּעָשָׁן in the form of, as, smoke Tehillim 78:33; Tehillim 102:4; Iyov 34:36; Iyov 36:14.

Denoting proximity—

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.

on: Breishis 8:20 Bamidbar 23:2 בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ on the altar; Shoftim 8:21 on the necks of the camels; Melachim Alef 2:5 al. בְּמָתְנָיו on his loins; Yeshaya 59:17 a helmet בְּרֹאשׁוֹ on his head.

often with verbs of touching, approaching, taking hold of, cleaving, etc., as אָחַז, דָּבֵק, חָשַׁק, נָגַע, נָגַשׁ, קָרַב, פָּגַּע, תָּמַךְ, תָּפַשׂ (see these words).

with words expressing or implying an act of hostility—

against: Breishis 16:12 יָדוֹ בַכֹּל וְיַד כֹּל בּוֹ his hand against all, and the hand of all against him; הָֽיְתָה יַד פְּ׳ בּ Devarim 13:10; Shmuel Alef 5:9; Shmuel Alef 18:17 + often Hence after verbs (q.v.) of fighting (נִלְחַם, רִיב), going up to invade (עָלָה), being angry (הִתְעַבֵּר, אָנַף, חָרָה אַף), sinning or acting treacherously (חָטָא, בָּגַד, מָרַד, מָרָה, מָעַל, פָּשַׁע, שִׁקֵּר, כִּזֵּב, כִּחֵשׁ), testifying (עָנָה, הֵעִיד), mocking (הִלְעִיג, הֵתֵל), feeling loathing (קוּץ), rebuking (גָּעַר: proposes to protest loudly), speaking (דִּבֶּר: Bamidbar 12:8), etc., & even (an extreme case) Hoshea 7:14 יָסוּרוּ בִי they turn aside (so as to be) against me. In a weaker sense מַשְׁתִּין בַּקִּיר mingens ad parietem Shmuel Alef 25:22 al.

down to, upon (super with accus.), especially in such phrases as דָּמָיו בּוֹ Vayikra 20:9 al. his blood be upon him; דָּמוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ his blood be upon his head Yehoshua 2:19; שׁוּב (הֵשִׁיב י׳) בְּרֹאשׁוֹ Shoftim 9:57 (רָעָה), Melachim Alef 2:33 (דָּם), v Melachim Alef 2:44 (רָעָה), Tehillim 7:17 (עֲמָלוֹ); נָתַן דֶּרֶךְ פּ׳ בְּרֹאשׁוֹ Melachim Alef 8:32 & often in Ez, as Yechezkel 9:10; Melachim Alef 11:21.

With—

of accompaniment: Bamidbar 20:20 בְּעַם כָּבֵד with much people, Yehoshua 22:8; Shoftim 11:34; Melachim Alef 10:2; Melachim Beis 5:9; Yirmiya 41:15; Shemos 21:22 and he shall give בִּפְלִלִים with arbitrators (arbitrators being employed), Yeshaya 8:16 בְּלִמֻּדָֽי׃ with my disciples, i.e. in their presence; Shemos 8:1, Shemos 8:13 Yirmiya 11:19 עֵץ בְּלַחְמוֹ a tree with its sap (s. לֵחַ); Melachim Alef 19:19 וְהוּא בִּשְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר and he with the 12th.

often of what one takes or brings with one: Breishis 32:11 בְּמַקְלִי with my staff I passed over Jordan, Shoftim 11:34; Shoftim 15:1; Shmuel Alef 1:24; Yeshaya 7:24; Micha 6:6 al. קִדֵּם בְּ to go to meet with; בָּא בְּ to come with Vayikra 16:3 Tehillim 66:13; Tehillim 71:16. (In Arabic this usage is developed more fully than in Hebrew, and أَتَى بِ lit. to come with, ذَهَبَ بِ lit. to go away with, are used idiomatically in the sense of to bring, and to take away respectively: W^{AG ii. § 56 b}.) Hence בְּאֵין, בְּאֶפֶס, בִּבְלִי, בְּלֹא = without.

of concomitant (or surrounding) conditions, as בְּחִפָּזוֹן with (or in) haste; בְּצֶדֶק with (or in) righteousness; בִּשְׁגָגָה in error; בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר Shmuel Beis 6:15; often in such phrases as בְּצִדְקָֽתְךָ Tehillim 31:2 in thy righteousness; בְּחַסְדְּךָ in thy mercy Shemos 15:13;—בְּאָשְׁרִי with my happiness! = happy am I Breishis 30:13; Tehillim 29:4 the voice of י׳ is בַּכֹּחַ with power = is powerful; Shemos 32:12 בְּרָעָה with evil purpose; Tehillim 73:8 בְרָע in wickedness; Tehillim 90:10 בִּגְבוּרֹת with strength.

of the instrument or means: as

בַּחֶרֶב with the sword Shemos 5:3 etc.; בְּרַגְלַיִם with the feet Yeshaya 28:3; בְּיַד … by the hand of … (v. sub יָד); to stone בְּאֶבֶן or בָּֽאֲבָנִים with stones Vayikra 20:2; Bamidbar 14:10 etc.; שָׁתָה בְּ to drink with a cup Breishis 44:5; Amos 6:6 (cf. in Aramaic Daniel 5:2); to cry בְּגָרוֹן with the throat Yeshaya 58:1; to burn בָּאֵשׁ in or with fire (often); to slay or to perish בָּרָעָב through hunger or בַּדֶּבֶר through pestilence Shemos 16:3; Yirmiya 21:9 + often (cf. Iyov 27:15 בַּמָּוֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ); to save with or by Shoftim 7:7; Shmuel Alef 14:6.

idiom., with certain verbs, as שָׁחַק בְּ to play with Iyov 40:29; עָבַד בְּ to labour with a person (as with an instrument), i.e. to use him as a slave Shemos 1:14; Yirmiya 22:13; Yirmiya 27:7 al.; עָשָׂה בְּ Yirmiya 18:23; Nechemia 9:24; Daniel 11:7; Esther 1:15; Esther 2:11; Esther 3:11; Esther 6:6; & perhaps דִּבֶּר בְּ (of God) to speak with one Bamidbar 12:2, Bamidbar 12:8 al. (v. Ew^{§ 217 f. (3)}; Dr^{Sm ii. 23, 2}). Further בַּבַּעַל, הִתְנַבֵּא ביהוה to prophesy with or by י׳ or Baal, י׳ or Baal being the inspirer; שָׁאַל בְּ, דָּרַשׁ to inquire or ask by means of a god (or oracle).

ביהוה through י׳ (= by His aid) in many connexions, as Tehillim 18:30; Tehillim 44:6; Tehillim 56:5, Tehillim 56:11; Tehillim 60:14 Yeshaya 26:13; Yeshaya 45:25 Hoshea 1:7 Zecharia 10:12; with pass. verbs Devarim 33:29 Yeshaya 45:17 (to be saved): and even of the immediate cause Bamidbar 36:2 to be commanded ביהוה by י׳, Breishis 9:6 בָּאָדָם by man shall his blood be shed; cf. Hoshea 6:5; Hoshea 12:14; Hoshea 14:4 Iyov 27:15.

allied is the use of בְּ in such phrases as to bless, swear, speak, prophesy, etc., בְּשֵׁם in the name of … (i.e. the name being used or appealed to in the act) Devarim 6:13 Yirmiya 11:21, etc. (so to swear ביהוה by י׳ Yehoshua 2:12 etc., בִּימִינוֹ Yeshaya 62:8; to bless בְּךָ with thee Breishis 48:20, to swear with me Tehillim 102:9, i.e. using my name in oath, Yirmiya 29:22); almost = in the authority and power of Shmuel Alef 17:45; Shmuel Alef 25:5; Melachim Alef 21:8; Micha 4:5; Zecharia 10:12; Tehillim 20:6; Tehillim 44:6; Tehillim 89:25.

בַּמָּה or בַּמֶּה by means of what? how? Breishis 15:8; Shoftim 6:15; Shoftim 16:5, Shoftim 16:6, Shoftim 16:10; Melachim Alef 22:21; Malachi 2:17. בְּזֹאת by means of this Breishis 42:15, Breishis 42:33; Shemos 7:17; Bamidbar 16:28; with this = on this condition Breishis 34:15, Breishis 34:22 Shmuel Alef 11:2; Yeshaya 27:9.

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

with שָׂכַר hire Breishis 30:16, פָּדָה redeem Shemos 34:20, אֵרֵשׂ betroth Shmuel Beis 3:14, קָנָה buy Shmuel Beis 24:24; Melachim Alef 2:23 בְּנַפְשׁוֹ at the cost of his life hath A. spoken this word, Shmuel Beis 23:17 who went בְּנַפְשׁתָם at peril of their lives, Mishlei 7:23; Eicha 5:9; Yehoshua 6:26 בִּבְכֹרוֹ יְיַסְּדֶנָּה at the price of his firstborn shall he lay its foundations, Divrei HaYamim Alef 12:20 בְּרָאֹשֵׁינוּ to the jeopardy of our heads he will fall away, etc.

with מָכַר sell Devarim 21:14; עָבַד serve Breishis 29:18, Breishis 29:20; Hoshea 12:13; הֵמִיר exchange Vayikra 27:10; Hoshea 4:7 their glory I will exchange for ignominy, Tehillim 106:20; נָתַן בְּנֶשֶׁךְ to give for interest Vayikra 25:37; Tehillim 15:5; in other connexions Breishis 23:9; Breishis 47:16; Yeshaya 45:13; Eicha 1:11; Shir HaShirim 8:7, Shir HaShirim 8:11; Devarim 19:21 נֶפֶשׁ בְּנֶפֶשׁ עַיִן בְּעַיִן life for life, eye for eye; Yeshaya 2:22 בַּמֶּה נֶחְשָׁב הוּא at what is he to be accounted? Yeshaya 7:23 a thousand vines בְּאֶלֶף כָּ֑סֶף at a thousand (shekels of) silver.—Hence (perhaps) the idiom. usages שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה year for year, one year like another, yearly Devarim 15:20 Shmuel Alef 1:7 +; יוֹם בְּיוֹם (late), כְּיוֹם בְּיוֹם †Shmuel Alef 18:10; כְּפַעַם בְּפַעַם (v. יוֹם, פַּעַם); חֹדֶשׁ בְּהֹדֶשׁ †Divrei HaYamim Alef 27:1.

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. Mishlei 10:10); נָתַן בְּקוֹל to utter with the voice Tehillim 46:7; Tehillim 68:34 Yirmiya 12:8 (but נָתַן קוֹל is more common); to stretch out with the hand Eicha 1:17; הֵרִים בַּמַּטֶּה (unusual) Shemos 7:20. 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. Ew^{§ 282 d} Ges^{§ 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 (cf. Yirmiya 31:30; Yechezkel 3:18, v. Yechezkel 18:17) Shmuel Beis 3:27; Shmuel Beis 14:7 (cf. 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 (v. 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 (cf. 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 al. (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 al. 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 al. (in P); בָּאַמָּה often (v. 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.

בְּ is used also with certain classes of verbs, though the explanation of its use may be sometimes doubtful: viz.

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 al. (v. sub 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.

Followed by an inf. c., בְּ forms a periphrasis for the gerund, though in English it is commonly to be rendered by a verb and conj., viz.:—

as a temporal conj., 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 conj. (cf. 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 conj., when = though: Yeshaya 1:15 Tehillim 46:3 בְּהָמִיר אָ֑רֶץ though the earth do change.

—Shemos 10:12 בָּאַרְבֶּה can only be rendered ‘with the locusts,’ the locusts being conceived as implicit in Moses’ uplifted hand: but prob. לָאַרְבֶּה should be read. Thrice in late Heb. בְּ is used peculiarly: Divrei HaYamim Alef 7:23 for with misfortune was it in his house (בְּרָעָה chosen for the purpose of explaining בְּרִיעָה); Divrei HaYamim Alef 9:33 עֲלֵיהֶם בַּמְּלָאכָה it devolved upon them with the work; Ezra 3:3 for with terror (was it) upon them from the peoples of the countries (the sentence without a verb as often in Chr.: Dr^{Intr. 504 f.}): cf. Ezra 8:34. Comp. Ew^{§ 295 f.}

Wetzst l.c., who compares the Arabic دَخْلُ سَيِّدَى lit. a prayer to my lord! a standing formula = Pray, excuse me, used exactly as בִּי אֲדֹנִי. According to others contr. from בְּעִי, from בָּעָה to ask, and so lit. a petition! cf. Aramaic בְּבָעוּ, ܒܒܳܥܽܘ (e.g. Breishis 19:18 𝔗, Bamidbar 12:13 𝔖); but ע is not often elided in Heb.)—Breishis 44:18 בִּי אֲדֹנִי יְדַבֶּר־נָא I pray, my lord, let thy servant speak, etc.; so Bamidbar 12:11 Shoftim 6:13 Shmuel Alef 1:26 Melachim Alef 3:17, Melachim Alef 3:26, and foll. by a pl. subj. Breishis 43:20 בִּי א׳ יָרֹד יָרַדְנוּ Oh, my lord, we came down, etc.; בִּי אֲדֹנָי (to God) Shemos 4:10, Shemos 4:13 Yehoshua 7:8 Shoftim 6:15; Shoftim 13:8 (𝔊 in Pent. and Jos. δέομαι, δεόμεθα: in other books absurdly ἐν ἐμοί).

always (except dual) as prep. in the interval of, between (so Aramaic בֵּין, & pl. בֵּינֵי, ܒܰܝܢܰܝ, ܒܰܝܢܳܬ; በበይናት: ), as Breishis 15:17 בֵּין הַגְּזָרִים between the pieces, Shemos 13:9 al. בֵּין עֵינֶיךָ between thy eyes (v. עַיִן), Yeshaya 22:11 al. between the two walls (v. חוֹמָה), Iyov 24:11; Iyov 30:7; Iyov 40:30 part him between merchants; more gen. among Hoshea 13:15 Shir HaShirim 2:2, Shir HaShirim 2:3 Yechezkel 19:2; Yechezkel 31:3 Iyov 34:37; less exactly within Shoftim 5:11 Mishlei 26:13 a lion is בֵּין הָֽרְחֹבוֹת within the broad places (cf. Mishlei 23:13 בְּתוֹךְ): once with a sing. (unusual) Daniel 8:16 אוּלַי בֵּין between the Ulai, i.e. between its banks. When the space separating two distinct objects is to be indicated, this is done

most commonly by repeating בין, as Breishis 13:3 בֵּין בֵּיתְאֵל וּבֵין הָעָ֑י lit. in the interval of Bethel, and in the interval of ʿAi, i.e. between Bethel and ʿAi, Breishis 16:14; Breishis 17:7; Breishis 31:50, Breishis 31:51 + often

more rarely by בֵּין … לְ, Breishis 1:6 dividing בֵּין מַיִם לָמָ֑יִם lit. in the interval of waters with reference to waters, i.e. between the waters and the waters, Vayikra 20:25; Vayikra 27:33 Devarim 17:8^(×3) Shmuel Beis 19:36 Melachim Alef 3:9 Yechezkel 41:18; Yechezkel 42:20; Yechezkel 44:23^(×2) Yonah 4:11 Malachi 3:18^(×2) Divrei HaYamim Beis 14:10.

by בֵּין … וּלְ †Yoel 2:17.

by בֵּין … לְבֵין †Yeshaya 59:2. בֵּין is used not only of actual locality, but also with verbs of dividing (fig.) Breishis 1:14 Vayikra 10:10, and of judging, knowing, teaching, etc., if the idea of distinguishing be involved, as Breishis 16:5 Shmuel Beis 19:36 הַאֵדַע בֵּין מוֹב לְרָע can I discern between good and evil? Melachim Alef 3:9 Yonah 4:11; Breishis 31:49 (watch between), Shoftim 11:10 (hear), Yehoshua 22:27 (witness), Yeshaya 2:4 and he shall judge (arbitrate) between the nations, Yeshaya 5:3; Vayikra 27:33; Yechezkel 44:23; Malachi 3:18; Divrei HaYamim Beis 14:10 (see RV); and in other metaph. applications, as of a covenant or sign between two contracting parties, Breishis 9:12, Breishis 9:15 Shemos 31:13 +; or an oath Breishis 26:28 Shmuel Beis 21:7; enmity or strife Breishis 3:15; Breishis 13:7 Devarim 25:1 Mishlei 6:19; peace Melachim Alef 5:26; good-will Mishlei 14:9.—It is used of time in the phrase of P בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם (v. sub עֶרֶב), & Nechemia 5:18 בֵּין עֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים during the interval of ten days, i.e. every ten days (unusual).

†מִבֵּין from between: Breishis 49:10 nor the ruler’s staff מִבֵּין רַגְלָיו from between his feet (where, as the king sits in state, he holds it), Shemos 25:22 from between the cherubim (so Bamidbar 7:89), Hoshea 2:4 Zecharia 6:1; Zecharia 9:7; Devarim 28:57 the after-birth הַיּוֹצֵת מִבֵּין רַגְלֶיהָ that cometh forth from between her feet, i.e. from her womb (cf. Il. 19. 10 πεσεῖν μετὰ ποσσὶ γυναικός). Repeated Melachim Beis 16:14 to specify the two objects from between which a thing is moved. Yechezkel 47:18 is difficult and uncertain: v. Comm. Less precisely from the midst of: Bamidbar 17:2 מִבֵּין הַשְּׂרֵפָה out of the midst of the burning, Tehillim 104:12 מִבֵּין עֳפָאִים from amongst the branches they utter their song, Yirmiya 48:45 and a flame מִבֵּין סִיחוֹן from the midst of Sihon (Sihon representing his people: but expression is singular; read perhaps מִבֵּית ס׳, cf. Bamidbar 21:28 מִקִּרְיַת ס׳: ‖ in both passages מֵחֶשְׁבּוֹן), Yechezkel 37:21.

†מִבֵּינוֹת לְ from between Yechezkel 10:2, Yechezkel 10:6^(×2), Yechezkel 10:7.

†Dual בֵּנַ֫יִם space between two armies (= Gk. μεταίχμιον), Shmuel Alef 17:4, Shmuel Alef 17:23 אִישׁ הַבֵּנַיִם man of the μεταίχμιον, i.e. champion (of Goliath).

high places, battle-fields, the chief places of the land giving possession, victory, dominion: על במותיך on thy high places (Gilboa, the battle-field) Shmuel Beis 1:19, Shmuel Beis 1:25 (in v Shmuel Beis 1:19 𝔊 has a doublet מֵתֶיךָ thy dead, v. We Dr).

of Israel: רכב על במתי ארץ ride upon the high places of the land Devarim 32:13 & Yeshaya 58:14 cf. Devarim 33:29 Tehillim 18:34 = Shmuel Beis 22:34, Chavakuk 3:19.

high places, as places of worship, at first on hills and mountains, later on artificial mounds or platforms, under green trees, and in cities; still later for the chapels erected thereon, and once apparently for a portable sanctuary (decked with diverse colours) Yechezkel 16:16. The ancient worship of Israel was conducted on these high places. In the times of Samuel and David they ascended to them, descended from them, and offered sacrifices on them, Shmuel Alef 9:12-25; Shmuel Alef 10:5, Shmuel Alef 10:13 (הבמה for הביתה We Dr). The custom continued in the reign of Solomon, but Gibeon was הבמה הגדולה Melachim Alef 3:2-4 cf. Divrei HaYamim Alef 16:39 Divrei HaYamim Alef 21:29; Divrei HaYamim Beis 1:3, Divrei HaYamim Beis 1:13. High places of Baal were also used Bamidbar 22:41 (E) Yirmiya 19:5 Yirmiya 32:35; of Moab Yeshaya 15:2; Yeshaya 16:12; Yirmiya 48:35 (cf. MI²⁷); these must be demolished Bamidbar 33:52 (J).

The worship of Yahweh on high places continued in Judah until the exile Melachim Alef 22:44 Melachim Beis 15:35; the sanctity code predicts that Yahweh will destroy them Vayikra 26:30; they were regarded as the reason for the rejection of Shiloh Tehillim 78:58. The complier of Kings, writing from the point of view of the Deut. code, complains רַק הַבָּמוֹת לֹא סָרוּ Melachim Beis 12:4; Melachim Beis 14:4; Melachim Beis 15:4, Melachim Beis 15:35 cf. Divrei HaYamim Beis 15:17; Divrei HaYamim Beis 20:33, and praises the few pious kings who destroyed them.

Asa did not remove the high places Melachim Alef 15:14 (Divrei HaYamim Beis 14:2, Divrei HaYamim Beis 14:4 is incorrect unless במות בעל).

Jehoshaphat in his reform on the basis of the covenant code did not remove them Melachim Alef 22:44 (עוֹד הֵסִיר אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת Divrei HaYamim Beis 17:16 is doubtless incorrect, possibly read מצבות); Jehoram, his son, made high places in the cities of Judah Divrei HaYamim Beis 21:11 𝔊 𝔙; not mountains ℌ); and Ahaz sacrificed on high places on the hills and under every green tree and in every city of Judah Melachim Beis 16:4; Divrei HaYamim Beis 28:4, Divrei HaYamim Beis 28:25; cf. Micha 1:5 (read חטאת? so 𝔊 𝔖 𝔗 Che al.; yet cf. JBL^{1890, 73 f.})

Hezekiah removed them Melachim Beis 18:4, Melachim Beis 18:22 Divrei HaYamim Beis 31:1 Divrei HaYamim Beis 32:12; Yeshaya 36:7; but Manasseh rebuilt them Melachim Beis 21:3; Divrei HaYamim Beis 33:3, Divrei HaYamim Beis 33:19, and the people continued to sacrifice thereon to Yahweh Divrei HaYamim Beis 33:17.

Josiah, in his reform, based on the Deut. code, defiled them and brake them down from Geba to Beersheba Melachim Beis 23:5, Melachim Beis 23:8, Melachim Beis 23:9; but subsequently there were במות התפת in the valley of Ben Hinnom Yirmiya 7:31, and במות throughout Judah Yirmiya 17:3 cf. Yechezkel 6:3, Yechezkel 6:6; Yechezkel 20:29 (questioned by Ew & Co).
