[g] בְּ, takes suffixes in the same manner: בִּי, בְּךָ (Ex 7, 2 S 22, ψ 141 בְּכָה, as in Gn 27, 2 S 18, Is 3 לְכָה [for 2nd fem. לָךְ the Kethîbh לכי occurs in 2 K 4, Ct 2, cf. § 91 e]), בּוֹ, &c.; except that for the 3rd plur., besides בָּהֶם (especially in the later books) and בָּהֵ֫מָּה (only in Ex 30, 36, Hb 1; לָהֵ֫מָּה only in Jer 14), 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 31, Is 38, Ez 42.—According to the Masora, לֹא is found fifteen times for לוֹ (as conversely in 1 S 2, 20 לוֹ for לֹא), e.g. Ex 21, 1 S 2, Is 9, ψ 100 (and, as has been conjectured, also Jb 41); cf. Delitzsch on ψ 100.—In Nu 32, Zc 5, Ru 2, 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).
