The Inseparable Prepositions
There are three prepositions in Hebrew that are always attached to the word they are modifying, and that is why they are called “inseparable.” These three prepositions, with their primary meanings, in alphabetical order are:
- בּ – “in, by, with”;
- כּ – “as, like, according to”;
- ל – “to, for, at.”
Now all of these prepositions have other translations as well, e.g.,
- “among & before” for בּ;
- “thus & after” for כּ;
- “into & concerning” for ל,
- and others for all three.
But the first ones listed are the ones they are primarily identified with.
