EXAMPLE 51: Gn17-23a VAYAMAL has root Mem-Vuv-Lamed EXAMPLE 52: Gn17-24b BHIMOLO is an infinitive of Mem-Vuv-lamed EXAMPLE 53: Gn17-11a NEMALTEM: Its root is Nun-Mem-Lamed BACKGROUND ---------- Hebrew grammar is based on 3 letter ROOTS. Each of these 3 letter roots can be CONJUGATED in various forms. For example the root SHIN-MEM-RESH means TO WATCH. SMRti means I WATCHED while eSMR means I WILL WATCH. Many books have been written presenting these conjugation tables (Eg IBN SHOSHANS Dictionary) THE TEXT -------- The 3 texts are speaking about circumcision.Here are the words ---------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE TYPE OF CONJUGATION GRAMMATICAL FORM ROOT -------- ---------------------------- ---------------- ----- Gn17-11a PAST-MALE-PLURAL-ACTIVE is >NeMaLTeM< NML Gn17-24a INFINITIVE-PASSIVE is >HiMooL< MvL Gn17-23b PAST-MALE-SINGULAR-ACTIVE is >VaYoMaL< MvL*3 ---------------------------------------------------------------- REFERENCE --------- See IBN SHOSHAN pg 1961 3rd Template & pg 1964 6th Template See The Grammatical Form Konkordance, list 4996 Number 5 *3 These charts justify the conjugations indicated above THE RASHI --------- There are TWO Hebrew roots meaning to circumcise. - Nun-Mem-Lamed - Mem-Vuv-Lamed Both these roots have the same meaning. THE LIST -------- We present here a table of pairs of Hebrew roots where the first root begins with a NUN while the second root has a second letter of VUV (NUN-X-Y vs X-Vuv-Y). The first 4 root pairs have the SAME meaning while the last 4 have ALMOST THE SAME MEANING. | ||||

*1 RDK points out that this is only one of the meanings He also points out that there might be other interpretations *2 The root K-V-M can mean STAND UP FOR ONSELF and hence CORRESPONDS but does not exactly mean the same thing as Revenge. In a similar manner Nun-Mem-Lamed and Mem-Vuv-Lamed may have similar but not exactly the same meaning. Rashi however simply points out that they are related *3 This form is NOT in the Ibn Shoshan dictionary. It can be found in the book Sefer Amaylim Batorah (Author ASilber@aol.com) in chart 4996#5. Al brings a list of 12 roots of which we present the first 5 --------------------------------------------------------- VERSE ROOT FORM ------- --------- ------- Nu11-31 G-V-Z VaYoGoZ Gn20-01 G-V-R VaYoGoR Gn17-23 M-V-L VaYoMoL Gn11-28 M-V-Th VaYoMoS Isa6-06 Ayin-V-Ph VaYoOoF --------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
