Bit at a time Bible Hebrew -- Genesis 1:29

Genesis 1:29

 

כט וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־כָּל־עֵשֶׂב זֹרֵעַ זֶרַע אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי כָל־הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת־כָּל־הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ פְרִי־עֵץ זֹרֵעַ זָרַע לָכֶם יִהְיֶה לְאָכְלָה:

 

Transliteration: Va-yomer elohim hineh natati lakhem et-kal-esev zoreai zera asher al-p’ney khal-ha-arets v-et-kal-ha-ets asher-bo fri-ets zorea zara lakhem yihyeh l’akhlah.

Translation:     Gd said behold I have given you all seed-bearing grass that is on the surface of the whole eart and every tree that has fruit tree on it bearing seed, it shall be yours for food.

Vocabulary in this lesson:

הִנֵּה	Behold
נָתַתִּי	I have given, set, placed
אָכְלָה	food

 

I’m going to give you all of the verb natan now because it’s a very common verb.  Notice the disappearing nun at the start of the future/aorist.
