Questions & Answers about בסעיף הראשון כתוב מה צריך לעשות, ובנספח יש דוגמה קצרה.
It is made of three parts:
- ב־ = in
- סעיף = section / clause / item
- הראשון = the first
So בסעיף הראשון means in the first section.
A useful thing to notice: the definite article ה־ often gets absorbed after prepositions like ב־. So underlyingly this is like:
- ב + הסעיף הראשון → בסעיף הראשון
That is why you do not see a separate ה on סעיף.
Because in Hebrew, adjectives normally come after the noun.
So:
- סעיף ראשון = a first section
- הסעיף הראשון = the first section
- בסעיף הראשון = in the first section
This is the normal Hebrew word order for noun + adjective.
