Usage
The Hebrew particle "אַל" (al) is primarily used as a negative particle, often conveying a prohibition or expressing a strong negation. It is typically used in contexts where a command or instruction is being given, indicating what should not be done. Unlike "לֹא" (lo), which is a more general negation, "אַל" is often used in specific situations, particularly in commands or warnings.
