רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּל וַיִּכְרְתוּ מִשָּׁם זְמוֹרָה וְאֶשְׁכּוֹל עֲנָבִים אֶחָד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ בַמּוֹט בִּשְׁנָיִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִים׃
They came to the Eshkol river, and there they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes—it had to be carried on a frame by two of them—and some pomegranates and figs.
לָבוֹא (lavo) (שֹׁרֶשׁ ב.ו.א)
- To come
בְּרוּכִים הַבָּאִים (berukhim ha-baim) = (literally: blessed are those who come) Welcome!
מָבוֹא (mavo) = Prologue or introduction
מְבוֹאָה (mevo’a) = Entryway or lobby
בָּאוּ לְעֵמֶק הַשָּׁוֶה (ba'u le-emek ha-shaveh) = Came to an agreement, found a way to compromise
בָּא לִי (ba li) = I feel like it
הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא (ha-olam ha-ba) = The world to come
Find the Word!
This שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) is in the name of two parashiyot! Can you figure out which? (Hint: One is in Sefer Shemot and the other is in Sefer Devarim.)
