Raw Hebrew Parsing Data¶
Genesis 26:15 — satham physical usage (well-stopping)¶
Hebrew: וְכָל־הַבְּאֵרֹת אֲשֶׁר חָפְרוּ עַבְדֵי אָבִיו בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו סִתְּמוּם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְמַלְאוּם עָפָר
| Word | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| סִתְּמוּם | סתם | Verb.Piel.Perf.3p.+3mp | stopped them up |
| פְּלִשְׁתִּים | פלשׁתי | Adj.mp.Abs | Philistines |
| וַיְמַלְאוּם | מלא | Verb.Piel.Wayq.3mp.+3mp | and filled them |
| עָפָר | עפר | Noun.ms.Abs | dust/earth |
Key: satham in Piel (intensive) — the Philistines aggressively stopped up the wells AND filled them with earth. Two actions: block the opening + fill the cavity. The prototype for figurative usage: making knowledge inaccessible by plugging the source.
Isaiah 8:16 — sealing vocabulary comparison¶
Hebrew: צוֹר תְּעוּדָה חֲתוֹם תּוֹרָה בְּלִמֻּדָי
| Word | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| צוֹר | צרר | Verb.Qal.Impv.2ms | bind up / wrap |
| תְּעוּדָה | תעודה | Noun.fs.Abs | testimony / attestation |
| חֲתוֹם | חתם | Verb.Qal.Impv.2ms | seal |
| תּוֹרָה | תורה | Noun.fs.Abs | instruction / law |
| בְּלִמֻּדָי | למד | Noun.mp.Abs.+1cs | among my disciples |
Key comparison with Dan 12:4: - Both: paired Qal imperatives (verb1 X verb2 Y) - Isaiah: tsuwr (bind/wrap) + chatham (seal) — two different verbs - Daniel: satham (stop up) + chatham (seal) — two different verbs - Isaiah: NO temporal boundary — sealed "among my disciples" (addressable group) - Daniel: ad eth qets — sealed "until time of the end" (calendrical horizon) - Isaiah: chatham torah — seal the instruction - Daniel: chatham ha-sepher — seal the book/scroll
Dan 8:26 Grammar Summary (from grammar-reference library)¶
- Clause 1 (NmCl): u-mar'eh ha-erev we-ha-boqer asher ne'emar emeth hu — authentication formula
- Clause 3 (Impv): we-attah setom he-chazon — sealing command (satham only)
- Clause 4 (NmCl): ki le-yamim rabbim — verbless causal clause (durational)
Three ki-clauses in Gabriel's address (vv.17, 19, 26): - v.17: ki le-eth-qets he-chazon — terminus - v.19: ki le-mo'ed qets — terminus - v.26: ki le-yamim rabbim — duration
Dan 12:4 Grammar Summary (from grammar-reference library)¶
Five clauses: WXIm (satham command) / Voct (Daniel) / WIm0 (chatham command + temporal boundary) / ZYqX (running to and fro) / WYqX (knowledge increases)
Dual imperative: satham ha-debarim (conceal the words) + wa-chatom ha-sepher (seal the book) - Different verbs on different objects — comprehensive closure of both signified and signifier - Temporal boundary: ad eth qets (preposition ad = terminus; state terminates after)
Dan 12:9 Grammar Summary (from grammar-reference library)¶
Passive participle restatement: setumim wa-chatumim ha-debarim ad eth qets - Shift from active command (12:4) to settled state (12:9) - Agency suppressed — the words ARE sealed, not "you must seal" - The ki-clause is causal ground for the dismissal lek ("go thy way")
Dan 9:24 Grammar Summary (from grammar-reference library)¶
Six le + infinitive construct purpose-clauses under nechtakh ("are determined"): le-kalle' (finish transgression) / le-hatem (make an end of sins) / le-kapper (atone) / le-habi' (bring in righteousness) / la-chatom (seal up vision and prophecy) / li-mshoach (anoint most holy)
la-chatom chazon we-nabi: Qal infinitive construct of chatham (H2856). Object: chazon AND nabi (vision AND prophet). This is authentication through fulfillment — the 70 weeks' prophetic content coming to pass validates ("seals") the prophetic office and its visions.
