רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
וְאַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֞ן יָצָ֣א אָחִ֗יו וְיָד֤וֹ אֹחֶ֙זֶת֙ בַּעֲקֵ֣ב עֵשָׂ֔ו וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ יַעֲקֹ֑ב
Then his brother came out, holding on to the heel of Esav; so they named him Yaakov.
עָקֵב (שֹׁרֶשׁ ע.ק.ב)
- Heel
לַעֲקֹב = to follow or track, to pay attention
נַעַלֵי עָקֵב = High heels
עֲקֵבוֹת = Footprints
מִסְפָּר עוֹקֵב = Consecutive number
Find the Word!
Which parashah in the Torah has the same שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) in its name? (Hint: it can be found in Sefer Devarim.)
