The Enhanced Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon (BDB): Niph. ? & Hiph. ?

Hey,

I'm doing some Bible study using The Enhanced Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon (BDB) and I've come across two things I'm not sure about. They are Niph. and Hiph., I've looked in the abbreviations section at the beginning and they aren't there, does anyone know what these mean/what they are abbreviated from.

Many thanks, Isaac

Isaac,

Try this link to a Wiki of Hebrew Grammar: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gesenius%27_Hebrew_Grammar/51._Niph%CB%93al

I'm not versed in the Hebrew Language but I searched "Google" using the following search "meaning of niphal in Hebrew".

Interesting results show up.

Hope this helps you.

Niph. = Niphal

Hiph. = Hiphil

Abbreviations appear in Beginning Biblical Hebrew with vocabulary in section introducing that verb stem with practice parsing:
