Hello,
could someone explain how the terme הַבָּאִים is constructed and on what it is
based? The sentence is (Ex 1, 1):
וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבָּאִים מִצְרָיְמָה אֵת יַעֲקֹב אִישׁ
וּבֵיתוֹ בָּאוּ
I guess it comes from the article "ha" and the verb "ba" (to come) and means
"coming" or "who came". If so, what kind of construction is this? And why is
there noun plural (-im) on a verb?
Sorry for these questions that might sound stupid to most of you, but I'm a
beginner...
Thanks a lot to all,
Sébastien Louis
Belgium
