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

person, gender, or number like the :ref:`finite verb<finite-verb>`
forms. Grammatically, the infinitive absolute can function as an

:ref:`adverb<adverb>`,
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.
