Hebrew grammar - Word order | | Hebrew grammar - Word order: Encyclopedia II - Hebrew grammar - Word order | | Word order of sentences is somewhat arbitrary, as sentences and clauses can be Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) or Verb-Subject-Object (VSO). In order to keep the object seperate from the subject, definite direct objects are marked with the special preposition את et, which has no analog in English. For example, the first sentence of the Hebrew Bible is VSO: ...ברא אלוהים את השמים... ...bara elohim et ha-shamayim... ...

Hebrew grammar - Word order
Word order of sentences is somewhat arbitrary, as sentences and clauses can be Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) or Verb-Subject-Object (VSO). In order to keep the object seperate from the subject, definite direct objects are marked with the special preposition את et, which has no analog in English. For example, the first sentence of the Hebrew Bible is VSO: ...ברא אלוהים את השמים... ...bara elohim et ha-shamayim... (...created God את the heavens...)
In Hebrew, adjectives follow nouns, unlike in English, where they precede them. Thus, in the sentence החתול הקטן אכל את הגבינה Ha-khatul ha-katan akhal et ha-g'vina (The small cat ate the cheese):
