In case you didn't understand, let me try to be clearer. Hebrew needs

Moreover, for the same grammatical reasons that Russian requires an instrumental case after "become" (стать). I'm pretty sure Vadim knows enough Russian to know that. In fact I think Hebrew L- often corresponds to this usage of the Russian instrumental indicating a resultant or temporary state.
