From Shmuel Bolozky's "501 Hebrew Verbs", Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 1996, p. xii, a respected guide for students of MODERN Hebrew:

"Of special interest are the semantic relations between the binyanim. When the total inventory of verbs is considered, little regularity is involved. However, among the more frequent, and thus more salient, verb forms, a significant degree of regularity is preserved, which should somewhat facilitate a learner's ability to begin to guess, given one form, what the meaning of a related one might be."

The binyanim provide a means of increasing the language's vocabulary in nouns and adjectives as well as verbs.
