The use of lamed to introduce the object of a transitive verb in Biblical Hebrewis commonly accounted for as an Aramaic influence. This article willcompare how lamed is used in Aramaic and in Biblical Hebrew. Accordingto Maksim Kalinin and Sergey Loesov, in Egyptian Aramaic the direct objectmarker lamed is prefixed almost exclusively to definite-animate singularnoun phrases. This study shows that this is also true for Biblical Hebrew,taking into consideration the character of transitive verbs and excluding thecases in which lamed does not function as a true direct object marker.
