GOALS ===== In this module we review the 3 meanings of the Hebrew root: Yud-Aleph-Lamed--which can mean - TO CURSE - TO BE STUPID - TO REFRESH. This unit is exciting: -- Rashi actually contradicts himself in two verses -- Radack suggests a 4th meaning: TO BEGIN -- there are controversies over the grammatical modes of certain verses TODAYS UNIT =========== Today we do the two easy meanings today: CURSE and BE STUPID (=BE CURSED by someone else) REFERENCE: ========= Todays unit comes from the following postings http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gn18-27a.htm http://www.Rashiyomi.Com/h11n24.htm

3 DIVERSE MEANINGS OF Y-A-L
EXAMPLE 1: Nu12-11a We have behaved STUPIDLY (like CURSED people) BACKGROUND ---------- Hebrew meaning is determined by 3-letter roots. Each 3 letter root is assigned a meaning. In this module we study the root Yud-Aleph-Lamed THE TEXTS --------- - In Nu12-11a the root Yud-Aleph-Lamed means BEHAVE STUPIDLY - In Job6-9 the root Yud-Aleph-Lamed means CURSE - In Gn18-27a the root Yud-Aleph-Lamed means REFRESH THE RASHI --------- Rashi simply explains that the meaning of Yud-Aleph-Lamed depends both on the ROOT and the GRAMMATICAL MODE used. -- In the active mode (KAL) YAL means CURSE -- In the passive mode (NIFAL) YAL means STUPID (being cursed) -- In the causative mode (HIFIL) YAL means to REFRESH (to lay a curse on ones opponents) THE LIST -------- The list below presents - 2 of the 3 meanings, - the verses they occur in - the texts of the verses - how often this grammatical form of the root occurs (this is contained in the # column)\ Footnotes clarify further
MODE	VERSE	TEXT	#	NOTE
NIFAL	Nu12-11a	Dont place on us our STUPIDITIES	4	*1
KAL*2	Job6-9	God will be my CURSOR & destroy me	1	*2

COMMENTS
1 In 4 verses - Jer05-04 Jer50-36 Isa19-13 Nu12-11a - the root Yud-Aleph-Lamed clearly means STUPIDITY. 2 There is much controversy here. There are only 2 possible verses where Y-A-L CLEARLY means CURSE: Job6-9 and 1Sam4-24 I am reinterpreting 1Sam14-24 so that Y-A-L means REFRESHED Although, the grammarians dispute whether the form of Y-A-L in Job6-9--VeYoAyL--is ACTIVE (KAL) or CAUSATIVE(HIFIL), I am interpreting it as an ACTIVE mode, so that Y-A-L(in the active mode) means CURSE. Justification for this classification comes from the following list,from Alfred Silbermans Grammatical form Konkordance,which shows that the form VeYoAyL can be ACTIVE or CAUSATIVE. -------------------------------------- VERSE MODE ROOT FORM -------- ------ ------ -------- Prv23-24 KAL Y-L-D VeYoLayD Jer44-07 KAL Y-N-K VeYoNayK Isa51-13 KAL Y-S-D VeYoSayD 2Sm24-03 KAL Y-S-F VeYoSayF Zac12-01 KAL Y-Tz-R VeYoTzayR Jos03-10 HIFIL Y-R-Sh VeYoRaySh Ex36-07 HIFIL Y-T-R VeHoThayR 2K17-27 HIFIL Y-R-H VeYoRayM Nu17-11 HIFIL H-L-Ch VeHoLayCh ---------------------------------------
