Tags: hebrew::ch_03

Q: וַיִּבְרַח מֹשֶׁה מִפְּנֵי פַרְעֹה
[...] fled [...]
A: But Moses; from the presence of Pharaoh
Reference: Exodus  2:15   שמות
Hint: וַיִּבְרַח מֹשֶׁה מִפְּנֵי פַרְעֹה
- and/but (he) fled
- From before (lit. from (מ) the face of (פני)
Back Extra: - Hints will be available more frequently in these earlier lessons then will gradually taper off as your Hebrew vocabulary and grammar knowledge increases
- You do not need to consciously memorize every bit of information in the hints - if something in a hint make sense now, don't worry about it - just tuck it away.  Just focus on translating the phrase
- If you do not see the word "Hint" on the front side, that means that card does not have a hint.
- If you would like to enter an additional custom/personal hint, you can do this.
  - Click "E" to enter edit mode
  - Enter your hint in the "2ndHint" field (or the "Hint" field if the card has no other hint)
- We encourage you not to click "good" until you can translate the passage without clicking on the hint(s)
- You may need to click "again" several times until you get it, and that's OK!  Each time, you will remember a little bit more.

Q: הֲרִימֹתִי יָדִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֵל עֶלְיוֹן
I have sworn [...]
A: to the LORD God Most High
Reference: Genesis  14:22   בראשית
Hint: הֲרִימֹתִי יָדִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֵל עֶלְיוֹן
- lit. I have lifted my hand; fig. I have sworn
- God Most High
Back Extra: - אֶל = to but אֵל = God
- Here we have our first example of the common circumlocution of respect
  - In Christian academia and other publications, the authors may attempt to transliterate the name of God
  - In the same way most children don't call their parents by their first names, we encourage you to pronouce those letters "Adonai"

Q: מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד־יְהוָה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִכּוּם
[...] defeated them
A: Moses the servant of the LORD and the sons of Israel
Reference: Joshua  12:6   יהושע
Hint: מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד־יְהוָה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִכּוּם
- This is the plural construct of בֵּן = "sons of"
- Hiphil perfect 3MP with 3MP suffix = "(they) defeated/smote them"

Q: בֵּן יְכַבֵּד אָב
[...]
A: A son honors his father
Reference: Malachi  1:6   מלאכי
Hint: בֵּן יְכַבֵּד אָב
- he will honor or honors; כָּבֵד means to be weighty or heavy, to be honored
Back Extra: - Hebrew doesn't have future or present tense the way English does.  The verb is simply in the imperfect aspect; so "a son will honor..." or "a son honors..." are both plausible.
- This literally says "a son honors a father" but in context we would say "a son honors HIS father"

Q: אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם לֹא יַחְשֹׁב יְהוָה לוֹ
[...] the LORD does not impute iniquity
A: How blessed is the man to whom
Reference: Psalms  32:2   תהלים
Hint: אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם לֹא יַחְשֹׁב יְהוָה לוֹ עָוֺן
- blessed or happy
- יַחְשֹׁב =(he) imputes, לֹא negates, so the phrase means (he) does not impute
- The Lamed means to or for, and the holem vav is a suffix meaning he/him/his.  לוֹ = to him
- Sin, iniquity
Back Extra: - Note לֹא (not) and לוֹ (to him) have identical pronunciation but different meanings.
- This is a longer sentence for this early lesson but it's a great praise passage!

Q: דָּבָר אֶחָד אָנֹכִי שֹׁאֵל מֵאִתְּךָ
[...]
A: but I demand one thing of you
Reference: 2 Samuel  3:13   שמואל ב
Hint: דָּבָר אֶחָד אָנֹכִי שֹׁאֵל מֵאִתְּךָ
- "one thing"
- ask or demand
- of/from you

Q: יָגֵן יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם
[...] will protect [...]
A: the LORD of hosts; Jerusalem
Reference: Isaiah  31:5   ישעיה
Hint: יָגֵן יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם
- (he) will protect/defend
- hosts
Back Extra: Note the seemingly odd spelling of Jerusalem - you might have noticed there were two different spellings in your vocabulary list.  Hebrew has a group of words that are meant to be read differently than they are printed (to remind us that there is something very special about the word).  We would pronounce as יְרוּשָׁלַיִם  The word we pronounce as "Adonai" usually translated as LORD is the most famous example of this Hebrew characteristic.

Q: הֲיִקְבַּע אָדָם אֱלֹהִים
[...] rob [...]
A: Will a man; God?
Reference: Malachi  3:8   מלאכי

- begins a question
- (he) will rob
Back Extra: הֲ as a prefix is used to begin a question

Q: שֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָא
[...]
A: For I proclaim the name of the LORD
Reference: Deuteronomy  32:3   דברים
Hint: שֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָא
- When used as a verb prefix, א. and most frequently with the seghol אֶ. is the imperfect 1CS = "I will" or sometimes "Let me"
- קרא = call out/proclaim
Back Extra: Since you have learned two of the three words of this phrase in Lesson 3 and, by process of elimination you can see that אֶקְרָא means "I will proclaim, this is a great "praise phrase" you can now say in Hebrew.  We could transliterate it "shem Adonai eqra."

Q: וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ
[...] [...]
A: Then God said,; "Let Us make man in Our image"

- we will make/let us make

Q: וְיִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי עַבְדִּי־אָתָּה
[...]
A: you are My servant, O Israel
Reference: Isaiah  44:21   ישעיה
Hint: וְיִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי עַבְדִּי־אָתָּה
- and
- for
- suffix meaning "my" or "mine"
- you (MS)
Back Extra: As of lesson 3 we have not talked about posessive pronoun suffixes or the conjunction "and".  While English does not have equivalents for these, conceptually, they are relatively straightforward.
And - affix a ו to the word and it typically means "and" (or "but").  There are some vowel rules and several other nuances to learn about the "vav conjunction" that we will get to later in the course.  וְיִשְׂרָאֵל means "and Israel" or as NASB has it "O Israel"
Posessive Pronouns - we will also get to these later but as you can see, it's essentially taking the applicable pronoun suffix and applying it to the noun, as in עַבְדִּי

Q: וֶהֱשִׁיבְךָ יְהוָה מִצְרַיִם בָּאֳנִיּוֹת
[...] [...]
A: The LORD will bring you back; to Egypt in ships
Reference: Deuteronomy  28:68   דברים
Hint: וֶהֱשִׁיבְךָ יְהוָה מִצְרַיִם בָּאֳנִיּוֹת
- And
- (he) will bring back
- you
- in the
- ship
- FP suffix
Back Extra: In Lesson 4 we will learn the "dual" noun ending but you can see it in מִצְרַיִם. There are certain words that are dual in form that we always translate as singular.  Of course we don't say "Egypts"; it's just "Egypt."
