Hebrew verb stems
Quoted from this website as a reference for studies I do using Crosswalk's Interlinear Bible:
- A verb stem is an offshoot of the root that is used to indicate the properties of voice and aspect. In Hebrew there are seven major stems, each with its own characteristic spelling of the root that you will learn:
- Qal Stem - Simple action, active voice
- Nifal Stem - Simple action, passive voice
- Piel Stem - Intensive action, active voice
- Pual Stem - Intensive action, passive voice
- Hifil Stem - Causal action, active voice
- Hofal Stem - Causal action, passive voice
- Hitpael Stem - Intensive action, reflexive voice
