9. Qal Perfect Weak Verbs

9.A. Introduction to Weak VerbsThere are two nomenclatures used for tackling the weak verbs built off the tri-

consonantal root. Traditionally the word פעל (to do, make) is used to designate how the ten weak verbs are then classed (cf. Kelly, Weingreen):

1) Pē position: I

Pē-Nûn [נפל ], -- to fall

Pē-Yôd [ישב ], -- to sit, dwell

Pē-’Ālef [אמר ], -- to say

Pē-Guttural [ עמד]; -- to stand2) ‘Ayin position: II

‘Ayin-Yôd/Vāv [קום], -- to rise

‘Ayin guttural [בחר ], -- to choose

Double ‘Ayin [ תמם]; -- to complete, and 3) Lāmed position: III

Lāmed-Hē [בנה ], -- to build

Lāmed-guttural [שמע], -- to hear, obey

Lāmed-’Ālef [מצא ]. – to find

There are some cases of doubly weak verbs such as: עשה (to do, make) which is both Lāmed-Hē and Pē-Guttural.

The more linguistically oriented grammars use the position of the three consonantal root (Practico, Fuller/Choi):

ש= שמר = I.; מ = II.; ר = III.

I. = Pē position; ( פעל )II. = ‘Ayin position; and III. = Lāmed position

We will combine them using both designations together in this text.

In the perfect the consonantal suffixes are: ת, תתי , and נו, with the heavy

consonantal suffixes תם, and תן causing the initial vowel to go down to a ševā’.

The vocalic suffixes are: ה and ו. 9.B. Ι. Pē position--weak and guttural

Regular Pē-Nûn Pē-Yôd Pē-’Ālef Pē-Guttural

עמד אמר ישב נפל שמר to keep to fall to dwell to say to stand

Observations on Ι. Pē position weak or guttural:

are also totally עמד and אמר .are absolutely regular in the Perfect ישב and נפל

regular except when the heavy 2MP/2FP sufformatives תם and תן are added calling

the initial vowel to drop to a Ḥatēf-pataḥ ( עא / ) instead of a simple ševā’. One would expect this under a guttural type letter. The suffixes are absolutely normal. No surprises here!

Examples:

ית נפל: eל הדבר הטוב אשר־דבר יהוה אל־בkלא־נפל דבר מכל eישראJosh 21:45 Not one of all the good promises that the LORD had made to the house of Israel fell

ים: ישב ת אשר־ישבנו בארץ מצר eכי־אתם ידעתם א Deut 29:15[16] for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt

ין־יראת אלהים במקום הזה: אמר eכי אמרתי רק אGen. 20:11 for I said, there is surely no fear of God in this place

:עמד ב eר kי יהוה אלהיך בח eעמדת לפנDeut 4:10 you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb

9.C. II. ‘Ayin position--weak and guttural:

Regular ‘Ayin-Yôd/Vāv ‘Ayin guttural Double ‘Ayin

תמם בחרשמר קום to keep to rise to choose to complete

1CS תמותי בחרתי קמתי שמרתי2MS תמות בחרת קמת שמרת2FS תמות בחרת קמת שמרת3MS תם בחר קם שמר3FS תמה בחרה קמה שמרה1CP תמונו בחרנו קמנו שמרנו2MP תמותם בחרתם קמתם שמרתם2FP תמותן בחרתן קמתן שמרתן3CP תמו בחרו קמו שמרו

Consonantal suffix: ק Vocalic Suffixes: Cons. Suffix: + תמוk Vocalic suffixes: ח Vocalic Suff. + תמObservations on II. ‘Ayin position weak or guttural:

In the ‘Ayin-Yôd/Vāv or middle weak you can see that the ו in קום drops out and with vocalic suffixes it goes to a qāmeṣ and if the suffix added is a consonantal suffix it is

added normally but the vowel under the ק goes to a pataḥ. It is pretty easy to recognize which gender, number and person are being referred to.

Page 5: faculty.gordon.edu · Web viewTraditionally the word פ ע ל (to do, make) is used to designate how the ten weak verbs are then classed (cf. Kelly, Weingreen): Pē position

5

In the ‘Ayin guttural (בחר ) the consonantal suffixes are added normally leaving

things the same as the regular verb that you know (שמר ). When the vocalic suffixes are added the ševā’ goes to a Ḥatēf-pataḥ as one would expect under a guttural.

In the Double ‘Ayin ( תמם ) the base for becomes תם. When the consonantal

suffixes are added the מ is doubled up to מו. When the vocalic suffixes are added the

to which the vocalic endings are (מ) drops its vowel leaving only the doubled mem מו

added normally ( תמו, תמה ).

Examples:

ית אבי היום קום eואתם קמתם על־בJudg. 9:18 But today you have revolted against my father’s family/house

ל בחר eי ישרא eל שבטkלא־בחרתי בעיר מכ 1 Kings 8:16 I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel

י תמם eויהי כאשר־תמו כל־אנש

Deut. 2:16 And it came to pass as all the men had perished

9.D. III. Lāmed position--weak and guttural:

Regular Lāmed-Hē Lāmed-guttural Lāmed-’Ālef

מצא שמעשמר בנה to keep to build to hear to find

1CS מצאתי שמעתי בניתי שמרתי2MS מצאת שמעתת בני שמרת2FS מצאת שמעתת בני שמרת3MS מצא שמע בנה שמר3FS מצאה שמעה בנתה שמרה1CP מצאנו שמענונו בני שמרנו2MP מצאתם שמעתםתם בני שמרתם2FP מצאתן שמעתןתן בני שמרתן3CP מצאו שמעוו בנ שמרו

Consonantal suffixes: = Regular: Cons. Suffixes:

added by י drop dagesh in ת drop ševā’ and dagesh in ת

Observations on III. Lāmed position weak and guttural:

The Lāmed-Hē add the consonantal suffixes by inserting a י ( Ḥîreq Yôd) knocking

the dagesh out of the ת suffixed ending. The vocalic ending of the 3CP just drops the ה and tags the 3 ו CP ending on as one would expect ( ובנ ) but the 3FS ending is added

on with a strange בנתה (תה( .

Page 7: faculty.gordon.edu · Web viewTraditionally the word פ ע ל (to do, make) is used to designate how the ten weak verbs are then classed (cf. Kelly, Weingreen): Pē position

7

The Lāmed-guttural is absolutely regular adding the suffixes the same way that שמר does. No surprises there.

In the case of Lāmed-’Ālef the ’Ālef just remains silent dropping the normal ševā’ and

the dagesh in the ת when the consonantal endings are added. The vocalic suffixes are added directly t the root as would be expected.

Examples:

ית ארזיםבנה eלמה לא־בניתם לי ב2 Sam 7:7 “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”

ואני שמעתי עליך שמע Gen. 41:15 But I have heard concerning you

יתך מצא eי־ב eל כלkמה־מצאת מכGen. 31:37 what have you found from all the vessels of your household?

9.E. Very frequent verbs with double variation: נתן, היה and עשה Regular

עשה נתןשמר היה to keep to be to give to do, make

1CS עשיתי נתתי הייתי שמרתי2MS עשית נתתת היי שמרת2FS עשית נתתת היי שמרת3MS עשה נתן היה שמר3FS עשתה נתנה היתה שמרה1CP עשינו נתנונו היי שמרנו2MP עשיתם נתתם ם תהיי שמרתם2FP עשיתן נתתןתן היי שמרתן3CP עשו נתנוו הי שמרו

Cons. Suffixes: Cons. Suffixes Cons. Suffixes:

added by י as Lāmed-Hē verbs Final Nûn drops added by י as expected

dropping the dagesh in the ת Dagesh is retained heavy suff. ševā’ goes to

Observations:

connecting י adds consonantal suffixes just like the Lāmed-Hē verbs with a (to be) היה

vowel and dropping the dagesh from the suffixed ת.

drops the final nûn when a consonant suffix is added. The dagesh in the (to give) נתן

suffixed ת is retained. The vocalic suffixes are added as is regular.

connecting י adds consonantal suffixes with the Lāmed-Hē verbal (to do, make) עשה

vowel as expected. With the heavy consonantal suffixes (תם and תן) the initial ševā’

goes to a Ḥatēf-pataḥ because gutturals like ע do not take a simple ševā’ preferring a pataḥ type vowel as we have seen before.

Examples:

ם היה eהנפלים היו בארץ בימים הה The Nephilim were on the earth in those days Gen. 6:4

ואת־הארץ אשר נתתי לאברהם נתן The land I gave to Abraham Gen. 35:12

מה־זkאת עשית ליעשה What have you done to me? Gen. 12:18
