Adjectives always match the noun they describe in gender ([masculine](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/gender_masculine/02.md) or [feminine](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/gender_feminine/02.md)) and number ([singular](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_singular/02.md) or [plural](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_plural/02.md)). Because the gender of some nouns does not match their form, the adjective matches the gender of the noun, not its form. If the noun is [dual](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_dual/02.md), the adjective will be [plural](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_plural/02.md). If a noun is collective or if a plural noun refers to one person, the adjective may match the implied number rather than the form.

In Bibical Hebrew, adjectives always match the noun they describe in gender ([masculine](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/gender_masculine/02.md) or [feminine](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/gender_feminine/02.md)) and number ([singular](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_singular/02.md) or [plural](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_plural/02.md)). However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If a noun is [dual](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_dual/02.md), its accompanying adjective will be [plural](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/number_plural/02.md). The gender of some nouns does not match their apparent form (as in נָשִׁים, meaning "women"); in these cases, an adjective will match the gender of the noun itself rather than the apparent form. Similarly, if a noun is collective (as in עַם, meaning "people") or if a plural noun refers to one person (as in אֶלֹהִים, meaning "God"), the adjective may match the implied number rather than the apparent form.

### Attributive
|
||||
An attributive adjective is an adjective that describes a noun. This is the most common use of adjectives in Biblical Hebrew. In almost all instances, attributive adjectives immediately follow the noun that they describe and have the same form. Thus, if the noun is masculine, the adjective is also masculine; if the noun is singular, the adjective is also singular; if the noun is [definite](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_determined/02.md), the adjective is also definite; and so on.

|
||||
NOTE: When cardinal and ordinal numbers are used as attributive adjectives, they sometimes come *before* the noun they describe instead of *after* the noun.
