Thoughts and Questions from the Writer to Encourage the Reader to Investigate
75. תקח Take – Set in Motion
I do not recall what path led me to the word תקח, as I tend to follow many connections inGod’s word. If I stumble across what led me here in the future, I’ll be sure to reference thisentry. First, note that תקח is not a root, but seems to be a word formed by adding a ת to thebeginning of the root לקח and absorbing the ל. The ל is not one of the typically–indicated“weak consonants” that is commonly dropped when adding prefixes, but it does occuroccasionally, noted even by Gesenius (see bibliography).

71. Recognize the Truth in God’s Separations
● Separation arouses bitterness. It creates opposition. That is why we have to do three things. The first is that we must recognize the Truth in God’s separations. The second is where the separations of God are clear, to submit to them. The third is to be very balanced in our assessment of separations/choices, to go slowly and ask for God’s guidance …
70. אדנירם על-המס
(This is a thread aken from a larger investigation of יהוה יראה) 1 Kings 5:13-14 13 Then King Solomon raised up a labor force (h4522. מַס mas) out of all Israel; and the labor force (h4522. מַס mas) was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at …
67 – סכך TWOT סכה
