1 Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. A. the Wood Was Originally Planted by Yaakov In
Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. a. The wood was originally planted by Yaakov in Egypt and brought out of Egypt when the people were freed from slavery. b.The wood grew near Mt. Sinai and was harvested when needed. c. The wood was purchased from peoples with whom the Jews traded. 2. The reason why RaShI explains a second time how Yaakov originally planted these trees in Egypt in anticipation of the eventual construction of the Mishkan is because of the “Heh Rather than simply making boards for the Mishkan, the people .”הקרשים“ ,HaYedia” in 26:15 made the boards, which had already been anticipated. It would appear that while other parts of the Mishkan were also constructed from this material, i.e., the Aron (25:10) and the Shulchan (25:23), the main reason for the growing of the wood and probably the purpose for which most of the wood was devoted, was the construction of the boards. 3. In the first commentary, the Peirush HaAroch,1 Ibn Ezra prefers the interpretation that the וכל אשר נמצא אתו עצי “ (trees were growing in the vicinity of Mt. Sinai. The phrase (35:24 refers to those who had harvested some of these locally ”שטים לכל מלאכת העבודה הביאו grown trees in order to construct shelters for themselves, were now being called upon to contribute that wood for the purpose of constructing the Mishkan. In the Peirush HaKatzar, Ibn Ezra, probably based upon the same phrase that he used to construct his first interpretation, now redefines his understanding to be similar to that of the Midrash and RaShI (he does not necessarily accept that this was all part of a plan that Yaakov had shared with his family; only that the Jews brought the wood from Egypt in anticipation of their own lodging needs), i.e., that these were brought from Egypt rather than harvested locally. -

TBI Trope Insert
TBI Trope Chart for Beginners Here are the most common trope marks you will run in to and some hints about how they will be used. This guide is intended to be a helpful reference sheet, but it is by no means all encompassing. There are entire books and classes and apps for this. The intention is to help students start recognizing the trope marks. Much gratitude goes to Richard Argosh for notating and identifying key points about the trope for this chart. A few extra notes: This is written in the key of Bb. The initial note in a given word may be repeated if there are extra syllables, so how the trope sounds on a given word can vary a little depending on where the trope hits in the syllables of the word. Talk with your mentor for examples. Consider the ve’ahavta as an example of this. The syllable marked by the trope is where the accent should be. In the notation below it is the open note (and/or) the one with the accent mark on it. Trope Name Notation Hints symbol munach see below for variations with other trope marks This is the most variable trope mark because it’s the xx helper trope! It can vary depending on what follows it. sof pasuk marks the end of the verse :x (siluk) etnachta the second most common xx trope mark x mapach often paired with pashtah pashtah It’s always at the end of the word. Sometimes there are x two pashtah marks in a word. -

The Exegetical Value of the Masoretic Accents Marcus A
Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies JBTSVOLUME 2 | ISSUE 1 Reading with the Masoretes: The Exegetical Value of the Masoretic Accents Marcus A. Leman [JBTS 2.1 (2017): 42-51] Reading with the Masoretes: The Exegetical Value of the Masoretic Accents MARCUS A. LEMAN Marcus Leman is a PhD candidate in Old Testament at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and is focusing on biblical languages and the Masoretic accent system Abstract: The Masoretic accent system provides biblical exegetes with a reading companion that can clarify and confirm the sense of the text. This historic reading tradition covers the entire corpus of the Hebrew Bible. Understood according to its hierarchical structure, this system offers interpreters assistance at various levels of exegesis. Beginning students will benefit from the way the accents indicate clause boundaries. Intermediate interpreters have the opportunity to understand how the reading tradition groups clauses syntactically. Advanced scholars possess the ability to see the semantic highlights that the Masoretes built into their patterns of accentuation. Thus, at every level of study, the Masoretic accents prove to be a valuable reading partner. This article exposes the historical rise and hermeneutical principles that brought about the accent system. Building on that foundation, various examples from the book of Judges illustrate the usefulness of the tradition for Hebrew exegetes. Key Words: accents, Masoretic Text, exegesis, Hebrew syntax, Semantics, Book of Judges Introduction God’s word spoken by the prophets proved true. His word of judgment brought about the humiliation, defeat, and exile of his rebellious and idolatrous people (Jer 25:11; 52:3). -
