Shalom! The root is Beit.Heit.Nun. Mavhin
is a Hiph’il verb. The meaning is to distinguish,
differentiate, notice, perceive, observe, discern. Hope this is helpful, Bruryah Tashah From: Dear list, Can you help me with the
root and meaning of the word: It appears in Sepher
Yetzirah in chapter 6, section 5 here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/sy/sy07.htm
(the online text is full of errors, but the consonants in this specific word is
as it appears in several of the manuscripts). I've tried looking it up
in various forms in Jastrow and the lexicons that comes with BibleWorks, but
with no luck. I've googled it, and in modern contexts it seems to mean "notice, discern, distinguish". One
translator of Sepher Yetzirah translates it as "brings to light", and another as "marks out". Kind regards, Jesper |
