רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
כִּי אֶת הַבְּכֹר בֶּן הַשְּׂנוּאָה יַכִּיר לָתֶת לוֹ פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא לוֹ כִּי הוּא רֵאשִׁית אֹנוֹ לוֹ מִשְׁפַּט הַבְּכֹרָה׃
A father must recognize the firstborn, the son of the unloved wife, and give him a double portion of all he owns; since he is the first fruit of his strength, the birthright is rightfully his.
לָתֵת lateit (שֹׁרֶשׁ נ.ת.נ)
- To give or allow
מַתָּנָה (matanah) = Gift, present
מַשָּׂא וּמַתָּן (masa u-matan) = Negotiation
נְתוּנִים (netunim) = Data
מַתָּן בַּסֵּתֶר (matan ba’seiter) = Giving charity in secret
Find the Word!
This שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) is very common in the Torah. Can you find it in Devarim 8:10? (Bonus! This pasuk is part of Birkat Ha-Mazon. Can you also find it there?)
