Usage notes

 * In Modern Hebrew, אהב takes a direct object; that is, no preposition is used if the object is indefinite, and the preposition is used if it is definite. In the Bible, אהב sometimes takes a direct object, and other times takes an object using the preposition  (e.g., Leviticus 19:18).
