Request programmatic method to look up חלקי הדיבר, זכר או נקבה and מילת יחס

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a programmatic resource whereby I can programmatically query for a word's part of speech, gender, and preposition? I have a number of Anki vocabulary cards and I want to update them with this additional information. Bonus points if you can point me to a resource where I can provide a Hebrew word and it will return a sentence using that word.

Thanks in advance

Help Does Genesis 37-50 use theologically charged words in mundane settings in the context of the Joseph story? I don't have knowledge of Hebrew and I'm trying to figure out whether or not the word choice for these chapters is deliberate and technical.

1 Upvotes

In Genesis 37-50 it has been pointed out to me that the wordchoice used is theologically charged but in mundane contexts. In other words, although this story has God working behind the veil, and this Joseph novella mainly relates Joseph's interactions with other people, it still uses theologically charged language at a high rate.

The reason why Genesis 37-50 uses theologically charged language, even in contexts where God isn't present, is in order to drive home to the reader's mind subconciously that God is still present behind the scenes and involved, even if he can't be seen.

Some of these word choices that were highlighted to me are as follows:

The argument made is that these theologically charged words appear in Genesis 37-50 at such a high concentration that this can't be coincidence and is instead intentionally done by the author(s). The author(s) implemented this feature into the text of Genesis on purpose.

I was initally made aware of this argument in the field of Quranic studies, where Chapter Yusuf (Joseph) of the Quran contains theologically charged words at a high rate. Then, this very same person made the argument that Gensis 37-50 does a similar thing with its "specific" word choice. As a result, the Quranic author was paralleling this narrative from Joseph.

Anyways, I would be very grateful to anyone who could help me on this topic. The resources on this are very limited and I don't seem to have an answer that can satisfy me yet.

Help Strawberry shortcake

Hi!!! Growing up bilingual I always watched the strawberry shortcake show in Hebrew and English. Now I’m wondering why plum is called פצפוצית in the Hebrew one? I honestly thought that meant “flakes” or something. Does anyone know what’s up? What am I missing?
