Usage notes
- In the Bible, this form is followed by a verb in the jussive; in later forms of Hebrew, including Modern Hebrew, it is followed by the future tense. For example, “do not do” is in Biblical Hebrew אַל תַּעַשׂ ('al tá'as) and in Modern Hebrew אַל תַּעֲשֶׂה ('al ta'asé).
- In older texts, לֹא may be used instead, that is, as a negative participle followed by a jussive verb.
