Verb Groups – Binyanim
The Hebrew word for verb is פ ַעל- POAL, which is derived from the root
( פעלPA’AL) - do, act.
Each verb group - Binyan is called by a name which incorporates the root פעלin the
particular and unique way in which it is conjugated and pronounced in the past tense
- third person masculine.
Each Binyan has its unique music (sound pattern) which is represented by the vowels
associated with the letters פ ע ל.
The verbs associated with each Binyan have the same sound pattern as the name of
the Binyan and this will be helpful in remembering the verb conjugation.
The first Binyan from the right on the Verb Menorah is named - ָפ ַעלand it includes
verbs such as:
Hebrew ָכ ַתב ָל ַמד ָע ַבד ׁ ָש ַמע ָיׁ ַשב
Phonetic YASHAV SHAMA’ ’AVAD LAMAD KATAV
English sit hear / work learn write
listen
All of these verbs have the vowels A... A... in third person in the past tense, which
are the same sounds as in the name of Binyan – ָפ ַעלPA’AL.
The rest of the Binyanim are similarly named. They too are distinguished by the
vowels (music) in past tense - third person masculine.
Therefore, the verbs representing each Binyan in the Menorah have the same "music"
in past tense - third person masculine as the name of each Binyan.
