רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
וְאֵת֙ פְּדוּיֵ֣י הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֔ה וְהַשִּׁבְעִ֖ים וְהַמָּאתָ֑יִם הָעֹֽדְפִים֙ עַל־הַלְוִיִּ֔ם מִבְּכ֖וֹר בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And for the redemption price of the 273 firstborns of Benei Yisrael, that were over and above the number of Levi’im…
עֹדֶף odef (שֹׁרֶשׁ ע.ד.פ) =
- Change
- Extra or surplus
חֲנוּת עֳדָפִים (hanut odafim) = Outlet store
מַעֲדִיף/מַעֲדִיפָה (ma'adif/ma'adifa) = Prefer
סֵדֶר עֲדִיפוּיוֹת (seder adifuyot) = Priority list
Find the Word!
When Benei Yisrael get instructions about מָן (mann, miraculous food) in the wilderness, they are told to leave some aside on Friday, for Shabbat. Can you find the word that contains this שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) to describe leftover mann? (Hint: Look in Shemot 16:23.)
