רֶגַע שֶׁל עִבְרִית A Moment of Hebrew
וְאִם־מָאֵ֥ן אַתָּ֖ה לְשַׁלֵּ֑חַ הִנֵּ֣ה אָנֹכִ֗י נֹגֵ֛ף אֶת־כׇּל־גְּבוּלְךָ֖ בַּֽצְפַרְדְּעִֽים׃
If you refuse to let them go, then I will plague your whole country with frogs.
לִנְגֹּף (שֹׁרֶשׁ נ.ג.פ)
To bring a disease upon, to defeat
מַגֵּפָה = Plague or epidemic
נְגִיף = Virus
אֶבֶן נֶגֶף = A stumbling block
Find the Word!
Can you find this שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) in another place in the parashah? (Hint: look in chapter 9, when Moshe introduces the plague of hail.)
