רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
יַעֲרֹ֤ף כַּמָּטָר֙ לִקְחִ֔י תִּזַּ֥ל כַּטַּ֖ל אִמְרָתִ֑י כִּשְׂעִירִ֣ם עֲלֵי־דֶ֔שֶׁא וְכִרְבִיבִ֖ים עֲלֵי־עֵֽשֶׂב׃
Let my instruction flow like rainfall, let my statements drip like dew; like showers on young growth, and like raindrops on grass.
לִנְזֹל linzol (שֹׁרֶשׁ נ.ז.ל)
- To drip or leak
נוֹזֵל (nozeil) = Liquid
נָזִיל (nazil) = Fluid, unstable
נַזֶּלֶת (nazelet) = Snot or a runny nose
נְזִילָה (nezilah) = A leak
Find the Word!
Shirat Ha-Yam, שִׁירַת הַיָּם, is the song Benei Yisrael sing after God’s miraculous splitting of Yam Suf. One line of Shirat Ha-Yam describes how the waters, which were liquid, became solid. Can you find the word from this שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root), that means liquid? (Hint: Look at Shemot 15:8.)
