BBH Chapter 33 · Pual Weak Verbs |
| Passage Exercise |
Students identify and parse Pual Weak verbs across three passage sets: Genesis genealogies (Gen 4:18, 4:26; 46:22) featuring the I-י root ילד, priestly legislation (Lev 7:36; Num 3:9) featuring the I-נ root נתן, and instructions/oracles (Lev 8:35; Num 22:6; Psa 72:17) featuring the III-ה root צוה and the ברך root with R2=ר compensatory lengthening. The exercise presents 15 verbs: 7 Pual targets and 8 distractors drawn from Qal, Niphal, Piel, Hithpael, and Hophal. Students indicate whether each verb is Pual, parse Conjugation/PGN/Root, supply the Stem/Function, and identify the weak-root type for each Pual target. |

| Weak Form Id |
A 25-item identification and parsing exercise covering four Pual weak classes (III-he, I-nun, I-guttural, Geminate). Part A (items 1–15) groups forms by class — four to five items per class — so students can build class-by-class recognition before mixing. Part B (items 16–25) presents forms from multiple classes in random order; students must identify the weak class first, then parse. Answer keys for both parts include the diagnostic marker that reveals the weak class. Four discussion questions address: the III-he Pual/Piel comparison; the I-nun assimilation contrast between Piel (nun retained) and Pual (nun assimilated); compensatory lengthening in I-aleph + resh roots; and the Pual-vs-Niphal distinction. |
