BBH Chapter 32 · Pual Strong Verbs |
| Passage Exercise |
Students identify and parse Pual Strong verbs across three Torah/Prophets passages: Numbers 22:6, 12; 23:8, 20 (the Balaam cycle, richest Pual concentration in Torah for ברך), Exodus 29:36–37 (consecration of the altar), and Exodus 14:4 / Isaiah 43:23 (Pual of כבד). The exercise presents 15 verbs: 3 Pual targets and 12 distractors drawn from Qal, Niphal, Piel, and Hophal. Students indicate whether each verb is Pual, then parse Conjugation/PGN/Root and supply the Stem/Function. A key diagnostic skill is distinguishing Pual (Qibbuts under R1 + Dagesh in R2) from the visually similar Piel (Hireq/i-class under R1) and Hophal (u-class on the prefix consonant, not R1). |
| Piel Pual Contrast |
A 25-item active/passive contrast and identification exercise introducing the Pual stem. Part A (items 1–10) presents five root pairs — each pair gives one Piel active form and its Pual passive counterpart, drawn from the same passage where possible. Students identify the stem, parse, and translate both forms, experiencing the active-passive relationship directly. Part B (items 11–25) is a 15-item mixed drill covering Piel, Pual, Hiphil, and Hophal; students identify the stem before parsing. Answer keys include notes on compensatory lengthening (ר rejects dagesh) and Hophal-vs-Pual disambiguation. Four discussion questions address the R1-vowel diagnostic, the compensatory lengthening rule, Hophal/Pual confusion points, and the theology of the Pual in the Genesis genealogies. |
