Of all the verbal conjugations in Biblical Hebrew, the infinitive
|
||||
absolute is the simplest in form but the most complex in function,
|
||||
demanding the most sensitivity to its context to determine its meaning.
|
||||
The infinitive absolute is described as being in the :ref:`state_absolute`
|
||||
because it always stands entirely on its own as an independent
|
||||
grammatical entity. The form can appear with the conjunction, but it never occurs in any other kind of construction

|

a finite verb, a verbal complement, or even as a noun. The context must be carefully

investigated to discern the precise meaning of an infinitive absolute in

each instance.

The infinitive construct generally functions as a verbal complement to a
