במקום

From בְּ-‎ (b'-, “in”) and מְקוֹם‎ (m'qóm, “place-of”).

• IPA^(key): /bimˈkom/

בִּמְקוֹם • (bim'qóm)

1. Instead of, in lieu of, in place of.

From the above preposition.

• IPA^(key): /ˈbimkom/

בִּמְקוֹם • (bim'qóm)

1. (colloquial) Instead.

• While this adverb does exist, it's fairly colloquial, and rather limited in use; it can generally only be used at the end of a sentence. So, in the general case, the English adjective and adverb instead does not have an immediate Hebrew counterpart; rather, a phrase like במקומו‎ (bim'qomó, “in-place-of-him, in its stead”) or במקום זה‎ (bim'qóm zeh, “in-place-of this, instead of this, instead”) must be used.
• Note that this adverb is pronounced differently from the preposition from which it derives; specifically, it is stressed on the first syllable rather than the last.

• IPA^(key): /bamaˈkom/

From בְּ-‎ (b'-, “in”) and הַמָּקוֹם‎ (hammaqóm, “the-place”).

בַּמָּקוֹם • (bamakóm)

1. In place, in its place, in order.

• Syntactically, בַּמָּקוֹם is a prepositional phrase, not a true adjective; so, it does not inflect for gender or number.

• בימקום‎ (bimkem)

From Hebrew במקום‎.

במקום • (bimkem) m, plural במקומס‎ (bimkems)

1. substitute
