Hebrew has two words for including, one for everyday speech and the other for more formal, often legalistic situations.
כולל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/כולל-#.m4a” /] is the common one. It’s a form of the simple verb לכלול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/כולל-#.m4a” /] – to include, and is related to the word הכול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/כולל-#.m4a” /] – everything.
For example:

The other word is לרבות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/כולל-#.m4a” /], which is related to רב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/כולל-#.m4a” /] – rabbi or great in number/force.
