I have noticed some strange occurences of words that do not use a Dagesh
where it would expect one; specifically, the preposition 'be' [in] and 'kol'
[all], which were both written as 've' and 'chol' [i.e no dagesh].

This came up in Exodus 12:12 ;

' Ve'avarti VE'eretz mitzrayim ba'lailah hazeh, ve-hikeiti CHOL-bechor....'

I was wondering if anybody could explain why the usual dagesh-ed form is not
used!

Thanks a lot!
