[g] בְּ, takes suffixes in the same manner: בִּי, בְּךָ (Ex 729, 2 S 2230, ψ 1418 בְּכָה, as in Gn 2737, 2 S 1822, Is 36 לְכָה [for 2nd fem. לָךְ the Kethîbh לכי occurs in 2 K 42, Ct 213, cf. § 91 e]), בּוֹ, &c.; except that for the 3rd plur., besides בָּהֶם (especially in the later books) and בָּהֵ֫מָּה (only in Ex 304, 361, Hb 116; לָהֵ֫מָּה only in Jer 1416), the form בָּם is also used; and for the feminine, besides בָּהֵ֫נָּה (three times), בָּהֵן is found fifteen times, and בָּהֶן only in 1 S 317, Is 3816, Ez 4214.—According to the Masora, לֹא is found fifteen times for לוֹ (as conversely in 1 S 216, 202 לוֹ for לֹא), e.g. Ex 218, 1 S 23, Is 92, ψ 1003 (and, as has been conjectured, also Jb 414); cf. Delitzsch on ψ 1003.—In Nu 3242, Zc 511, Ru 214, the Masora requires לָהֿ instead of לָהּ (in all three places before a following tone-syllable; cf. § 23 k, and the analogous cases of the loss of Mappîq in § 58 g, § 91 e).
