Article

The Nithpael stem is a variation of the Hithpael and expresses the reflexive voice of the verbal action of the Piel stem. The Nithpael stem is formed from the Hithpael stem by inserting the נ from the Niphal stem into the Hithpael prefix (נִתְ). It is an extremely rare stem formation in Biblical Hebrew.

Note

It is recommended to always check a dictionary or lexicon for the meaning of a specific verb, because this stem may express many different kinds of action in different contexts.
