In Biblical Hebrew (I don't know about Modern Hebrew) there were
pronominal suffixes:

-î  "my"
-ka "thy", m.sg.
-k  "thy", f.sg.
-ô  "his"
-ah "her"

-enû "our"
-kem "your" m.pl.
-ken "your" f.pl.
-am  "their" m.pl.
-an  "their" f.pl.

There are a few modifications of these suffixes depending on the
stress in the noun.

These suffixes are also used as the objects of prepositions, again
with some vowel modifications, e.g,,

lî   "to me"
l'ka "to thee", m.sg. ' = schwa
lak  "to thee", f.sg.
lô   "to him"
lah  "to her"

lánû  "to us"
lakém "to you" m.pl.
lakén "to you" f.pl.
lahém "to them" m.pl.
lahén "to them" f.pl.
