The term sekilah also appears when Moses refused Pharaoh’s offer to bring sacrifices to Hashem in Egypt (in lieu of allowing the nation to leave), because Moses claimed that the Egyptian would not tolerate the Jews slaughtering their gods and would instead “stone” the Jews. When discussing the root SAMECH-KUF-LAMMED, the early lexicographer Menachem Ibn Saruk (920-970) in Machberet Menachem lists two separate semantic categories for that root: “stoning” and “clearing/cleaning.” This implies that he does not see those two meanings as related. It is a well-established phenomenon in the Hebrew language that a given root might have one meaning and also mean the exact opposite (a “self-antonym”); this case is just another example: one meaning of this root refers to “using” stones, while the other meaning refers to “getting rid” of them. Rabbi Shlomo Pappenheim (1740-1814) bridges the gap between these two meanings of sekilah by explaining that both refer to the act of "throwing" rocks, but that the first meaning refers to “throwing” rocks at a person, while the second meaning refers to clearing an area of the rocks that are there by "throwing" those rocks elsewhere. *To read the rest of this article and find out about how sekilah differs from regimah, visit us online at: http://ohr.edu/this_week/whats_in_a_word/ www.ohr.edu 4 PEREK SHIRA: The Song of Existence by Rabbi Shmuel Kraines THE SONG OF THE ELEPHANT The elephant says: “How great are Your deeds, Hashem; very deep are Your thoughts!” (Tehillim 92:6) E lephant in Hebrew is “pil,” which is
