Both Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic have four primary prepositions:
|
|
the prefix בְּ (in, at, by); the prefix לְ (to, for); the prefix כְּ (as, like); and the prefix מִ
|
|
(which is a shortened form of the independent preposition מִן, meaning
|
|
"from"). However, there is also a family of other prepositions.
|
|
It is common for prepositions to be
|
|
combined together or with a noun to form new words that have their own
|
|
range of meanings (similar to :ref:`compound conjunctions<conjunction-compound>`)
|
|
that may or may not overlap with the meaning of the individual component terms. |
