Recall that every Hebrew root can be conjugated in any of 7-8 grammatical modes. Each MODE (BINYAN) of the verb has a different meaning. The hitpael is usually taken to mean REFLEXIVE ACTIVITY. Actually as we shall show below, the HITPAEL means INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY. We finish this group of Rashis today by defending some more advanced usages of this idea that HITPAEL=INTERACTIVE Those who wish to review the examples should consult one of the following URLS. http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h7n17.htm #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* EXAMPLES: (8)Gn26-20a (9)Gn26-20b The Root Ayin-Shin-Kuf means WITHOLD WAGES The Hitpael Form means to BICKER ABOUT PROPERTY Hence Gn26-20a "And they BICKERED with him about the ownership" NOTES ------ *1 Clearly BICKERING about property is an INTERACTIVE crime (While witholding wages, which occurs AFTER the person has finished working is more onesided *2 Note that we identify roots with a Shin and Sin; this can easily be justified by a {LIST}. Thus we claim that the root Ayin-Sin-Kuf (to bicker) comes from the root Ayin-Shim-Kuf(To withold wages) (10) Ex08-05a The root Pay-Aleph-Resh means to GLORIFY or BRAG The Hitpael form means to CHALLENGE (that is to BRAG thru INTERACTING with someone else. Here is the exact Rashi). Ex08-05a Moses said to Pharoh...'you want the frogs removed ...well pick an exact time for their removal and if my God doesn't remove them by then you can brag how you outsmarted me' (11) Nu11-18a The root Kuf-Dalet-Shin means to PREPARE / DEDICATE Thus it can be used to DESIGNATE a DAY of fasting and prayer. Or it can be used to designate an animal for a sacrifice. The Hitpael form would mean to INTERACTIVELY PREPARE---TO PREPARE AS A COMMUNITY. Thus on Nu11-18a Rashi says to the community, "Prepare yourself for Gods punishment for the way you have complained" #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
