Modern Hebrew (עברית) Translation Skill

Script: Hebrew

Use Hebrew script (עברית). Text direction is RTL (right-to-left).

Note: This skill is for translating Greek NT into Modern Hebrew, not for Hebrew OT which is already in Hebrew.

Divine Names

Proper Names (Greek → Hebrew)

Particle Conventions

Hebrew has prefixed particles:

• Definite article: הַ (ha-)
• Conjunction: וְ (ve-)
• Prepositions: בְּ (be-), לְ (le-), מִ (mi-), כְּ (ke-)

Use n-dash when representing Greek bound morphemes distinctly.

   • Can match Greek order often

2. Definiteness: Use הַ appropriately

   • Greek article → Hebrew הַ

   • Qal, Nifal, Piel, Pual, Hifil, Hufal, Hitpael

4. Construct State (סמיכות): For genitive relationships

   • "עֶבֶד הַמָּשִׁיחַ" (servant of the Messiah)
