This week’s note is tevir, which looks like a dot being scooped up. The name, tevir, means “broken” and it makes a sound that goes down and then comes back up—just like when you scoop something up! Tevir usually leads us into the middle or the end of a verse; it’s kind of like the airplane gear that gets us ready to land.
Although the tevir itself is very common, there are only seven times in the Torah when there is a double tevir! Check it out from this week’s parashah:
וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ל אַבְרָ֗ם וַיָּבֹ֛א וַיֵּ֛שֶׁב בְּאֵלֹנֵ֥י מַמְרֵ֖א אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּחֶבְר֑וֹן
And Avram pitched his tent, and came to dwell at the oaks of Mamrei, which are in Hevron
Pay attention and see if you can catch the other six throughout the year!
