| Function Sort |
A 27-item classification exercise drawn entirely from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Students read a Hiphil form with its reference and contextual gloss, then classify it as Causative (C), Factitive (F), Declarative (D), Simple Action (SA), or Denominative (DN). Roots span all five function types and include several ambiguous cases (e.g. זָכַר Hiphil as Causative rather than Simple Action) that reward careful reasoning. Four discussion questions connect specific items to the broader grammar. |
| Hiphil Paradigm Drill |
Write all 30 inflected forms of קטל (Hiphil) from memory. |
| Passage Exercise |
A 21-verb parsing exercise covering all eight Hiphil conjugations drawn from three OT passages: the flood narrative (Gen 6–8), the Abrahamic oath (Gen 22:17), and the conquest instruction (Deut 7:2). Two bonus verbs from Gen 6:1 and 6:10 are included. Three distractor verbs (D1–D3) are woven into the main passages: D1 (נִשְׁחָתָה, Niphal, Gen 6:12) appears alongside #1 to contrast Niphal vs. Hiphil; D2 (וּנְתָנָם, Qal) and D3 (תִכְרֹת, Qal) are from Deu 7:2 alongside #17–#19. Students first answer "Is it Hiphil?" for every highlighted verb before parsing conjugation, person-gender-number, root, and semantic function (Causative / Declarative / Factitive / Simple action). An answer key is embedded in all three formats. |
| Qal Hiphil Contrast |
A 14-root exercise in three parts. Students are given a root with its Qal meaning and an attested Hiphil form from the OT, then asked to translate the Hiphil form, name its semantic function (Causative / Declarative / Factitive / Simple Action), and explain in one sentence why the Hiphil meaning follows from the Qal. Part A covers motion verbs (בּוֹא, יָצָא, שׁוּב, עָלָה, יָרַד, מוּת, יָלַד, שָׁקָה); Part B covers stative verbs (כָּבֵד, גָּדַל, רָשָׁע); Part C covers verbs with no common Qal (נָכָה, שָׁמַד, נָגַד). |
| Stem Id Drill |
BBH Chapter 26 · Hiphil Strong Verbs 24-item drill using strong roots (שׁמר, כבד, כתב, and the paradigm root קטל). Forms are interleaved across all three stems in sets of three, covering every conjugation type: Perfect, Imperfect, Wayyiqtol, Imperative, Inf. Absolute, and Participle. Students identify the stem, conjugation, PGN, and root for each form. |
