This week’s note is revi’i, which looks like a diamond. The name revi’i means fourth, which makes sense, because the diamond has four sides. It makes a dropping sound, almost like you are drilling a musical hole. This is another pretty common note—you are guaranteed to hear it lots of times every week. Revi’i is kind of an intense note—you can’t go straight from it to the middle or the end of a verse. Sometimes, it actually kicks off a whole bunch of other fancy notes right after it. Here is the first case of a revi’i in this week’s parashah:
וַיַּ֗רְא
he saw
Revi’i appears on top of the word, not the bottom like the two previous notes we’ve seen, so look for it there!
