רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
(יט) וַתְּכַ֖ל לְהַשְׁקֹת֑וֹ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר גַּ֤ם לִגְמַלֶּ֙יךָ֙ אֶשְׁאָ֔ב עַ֥ד אִם־כִּלּ֖וּ לִשְׁתֹּֽת׃
When she had let him drink his fill, she said, “Also, I will draw for your camels, until they finish drinking.”
לִשְׁאֹב (שֹׁרֶשׁ ש.א.ב)
- To pump or draw
מַשְׁאֵבָה = Pump
שׁוֹאֵב אָבָק = Vacuum cleaner
Find the Word!
Have you heard this word before?
- Open a Tanakh to Yeshayahu 12:3. Can you find the word that has the same שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root)? Have you heard this before? Where? (Hint: we say it every week after Shabbat, so you could also find it by looking at Havdalah in a Siddur.)
