34.1 Hitpael Verb Table
Active Voice | Passive Voice | Reflexive Voice | |
---|---|---|---|
Simple Action | Qal | Niphal | (Niphal) |
Cause a State | Piel | Pual | HITPAEL |
Cause an Action | Hiphil | Hophal |
Meanings:
- Reflexive of the Piel - קדשׁ
- Q - to be holy
- D - to be sanctified
- tD - to sanctify oneself
- Because this is the most common use, the parsing code is tD - t because a Hitpael preformative always contains ת, and D because like the Piel, \(R_2\) takes a Doubling Dagesh Forte (if possible)
- Reciprocal - ראה
- Q - to see
- tD - to look at one another
- Iterative - הלך
- Q - to walk
- tD - to walk back and forth, or to walk (as a way of life)
- Simple active - פלל
- tD - to pray147
Perhaps there is a spiritual insight here. Do we truly enter into a reflexive state of prayer when we pray?↩︎
