Footnotes
Exo. 20:9 | Believed to be a masculine construct because of its pairing with the masculine 'days' but ת would be unnecessary as שׁשׁ is already masculine (vs. the feminine ששה) |
Exo. 20:9 | Duties of the Messenger Strongs #4399 deputyship, ministry, task (of messengers/angels) The words מלאך (mal'akh) and מלאכת (melakht) are related etymologically, stemming from the same root letters: לאך. This root carries the core meaning of "sending" or "dispatching," implying a sense of carrying out a task or delivering a message.
Both "מלאך" (mal'akh) and "מלאכת" (melakht) are rooted in the concept of "sending" or "dispatching," but they emphasize different aspects of this idea: "מַלְאָךְ" (mal'akh) focuses on the messenger or agent who carries out tasks or delivers messages, while "מְלַאכְתְּ" (melakht) emphasizes the tasks or duties themselves, regardless of who performs them. |
