*1 In this example the identically spelled word can mean either - he walked (past tense) - walk (Command) Cf The Grammatical tables in the Ibn Shoshan dictionary Table 1 presents the conjugations in question. *2 The words are spelled with the same letters. The minute vowel difference determines whether it is causative(Helped) vs active (Good) *3 The two words have the - same spelling - same letters - differ in placement of accents Cf Gn29-06a vs Gn29-09,Gn46-26a vs Gn46-27 and Gn42-21b vs Gn34-27 *4 See Ibn Shoshan Dictionary Tables 6 and 7. The conjugation of the Biblical root Lamed-Vav-Nun is LLoon not LLeen which should therefore be interpreted as a noun (night-stay) Hence the Rashi on Gn24-23b which uses the word LLeen ------------------------------------------------------ Eliezer used the word LLeen indicating he requested a one night stay. By contrast Rivkah used the word LLoon--the verb form--indicating that he could stay for many nights ------------------------------------------------------ *5 I frequently cite the Ibn Shoshan Dictionary, Volume 5, the Appendix: This gives a short but comprehensive set of grammatical tables. - Table 10, Kal Mode for 1-2-2 verbs: Ve-HaM-Mo-Thi - Table 6: Hifil Mode for 1-v-3 verbs:Ve-Hay-MaT-Ti Ve-HaM-Mo-Thi means to DESTROY; Ve-Hay-MaT-Ti means to kill Although the meanings are similar the conjugations are totally different as Rashi is quick to point out. *6 - KAMATZ-PATACH is a VERB form - KAMATZ-TZARAY is an ADJECTIVE form - SEGOL-SEGOL is a NOUN form. The difference between a VERB and ADJECTIVE is as follows - The VERB form could denote a one time TRANSIENT activity - The ADJECTIVE form denotes a PERMANANT attribute The KAMATZ-TZARAY is adjective form #2 in Ibn Shoshan Hence - AFayS Kasef means the MONEY HAS DWINDLED - KAVAYD LAYV PHAROH means Pharoh was OBSTINATE - MAYN LESHLAYACH means Pharoh was OBSTINATE about letting the Jews go. Perhaps this will clarify. MEMaAYN PHAROH would mean Pharoh REFUSED, denoting a possibly one-time transient activity while MaAYN PHAROH means PHAROH was OBSTINATE (it was part of his personality to always refuse freedom to the slaves) |
