Bit at a Time Bible Hebrew -- Genesis 2:6

If you didn’t read the blog yesterday, you missed an extra posting for this topic.  It’s a list of most of the verses and the grammar covered in them.  Scroll down and you’ll see it.

 

Genesis 2:6

 

ו וְאֵד יַעֲלֶה מִן־הָאָרֶץ וְהִשְׁקָה אֶת־כָּל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה

 

Transliteration: V’-ed yaaleh min-ha-arets v’-hishqah et-kal-p’ney ha-adamah.

Translation:    A mist went up from the earth and watered all the surface of the earth.

Vocabulary in this lesson:

אֵד	mist
יַעֲלֶה	Went up
הִשְׁקָה	Water (v)
הִמְטִיר	Caused to rain
אַיִן	There was none
לַעֲבֹד	To work

 

“went up” is conjugated exactly like “to do, make”.  These are both important words so learn this conjugation very well.  Notice the chataf patach under the ayin in a bunch of the entries, and also the endings that are due to the heh at the end.
