In the Hebrew language, the Genitive or Construct State, also known as “Smikhut,” is a grammatical construct used to denote the relationship between two nouns. This relationship could mean possession, description, or composition. It’s used to communicate “of something” or “something’s”. It’s also used to express a wide array of relationships between the two nouns, encompassing location, time, and more. The Construct State is one of the ways Hebrew grammar varies from the English structure, thus posing a challenge for learners.
