Discovery Box| (1.00) | (Exo 6:3) | 1 tn The preposition bet (ב) in this construction should be classified as a bet essentiae, a bet of essence (see also GKC 379 §119.i). |
| (0.83) | (2Sa 14:7) | 1 tn Heb “in exchange for the life.” The Hebrew preposition ב (bet, “in”) here is the so-called bet pretii, or bet (ב) of price, defining the value attached to someone or something. |
| (0.77) | (Lam 3:27) | 4 tn Heb “in his youth.” The preposition ב (bet) functions in a temporal sense: “when.” |

| (0.68) | (Nah 3:9) | 4 tn The preposition בְּ (bet) in בְּעֶזְרָתֵךְ (beʿezratekh) should probably be taken as a bet of identity rather than in a locative sense (DCH 2:84 s.v. בְּ 7; HALOT 104 s.v. בְּ 3). |
| (0.67) | (Eze 26:20) | 2 tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כ (kaf, “like”) to ב (bet, “in, among”). |
| (0.67) | (Isa 8:11) | 1 tc The MT reads כ (kaf, “according to”), but many manuscripts read the more grammatical ב (bet, “with”). |
| (0.67) | (Pro 31:11) | 1 tn The first word of the second line begins with ב (bet), the second letter in the Hebrew alphabet. |

| (0.67) | (Exo 1:14) | 2 tn The preposition bet (ב) in this verse has the instrumental use: “by means of” (see GKC 380 §119.o). |
| (0.58) | (Psa 68:4) | 2 tc Heb “in the Lord his name.” If the MT is retained, the preposition ב (bet) is introducing the predicate (the so-called bet of identity), “the Lord is his name.” However, some prefer to emend the text to כִּי יָהּ שְׁמוֹ (ki yah shemo, “for Yah is his name”). This emendation, reflected in the present translation, assumes a confusion of ב (bet) and כ (kaf) and haplography of י (yod). |
| (0.58) | (Isa 47:9) | 3 tn For other examples of the preposition bet (בְּ) having the sense of “although, despite,” see BDB 90 s.v. III.7. |
