meaning for a pupil

An intransitive verb is one that does not take an object, such as "lie down" or "sleep". tree →

sense in the lessons

Interpretation: The commentator uses the word to explain a Hebrew verb, shakhav, "to lie down", whose form seems odd for such a verb.

examples

• The first is clearly the root שָׁכַב shakhav ‘to lie, lie down’, but שכובה looks like a passive participle, shekhuvah, while shakhav is normally an intransitive verb not amenable to being made passive. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) tree →
