*10 Ex14-18c has the word NeBuCHiM.
Radack and Mendelkorn think this comes
from the Root Beth-Vuv-Caph.
Rashi however brilliantly notes that
the proper root is Nun-Beth-Caph.
According to Rashi
- root Beth-Vuv-Caph means CONFUSED
- root Nun-Beth-Caph means ENTANGLED
To defend this we need two lists
- LIST702a contains the FORM NeBuCHiM which
indicates a participle (Something was
done to it eg BLESSED, ENTANGLED,
COVERED, etc)*11
- LIST702b contains verses where
the MEANING of N-B-X is
ENTANGLED The verses in the 2nd list
all denote some type of ENTANGLEMENT
or TRAPPING.*12
*11 This is Form 1798 in Silbermans
Grammatical form Konkordance.
Silberman brings 20 examples of
this form.
Interestingly Silberman follows
Radack who sees NeBuCHiM as coming
from root B-V-X in which case the
form would be bizarre. However
Rashis approach makes everything
natural
*12 Why did Radack ignore Rashis Simple
approach? Probably because there
are only 3 verses with root N-B-X
(LIST702b). It didnt seem worth it
to make an extra root for just
3 verses.
But the evidence for Rashi is
overwhelming. The meaning ENTANGLED/
TRAPPED fits perfectly and the
FORM is consistent with the other
2 dozen examples.
