Today\u2019s word, \u201c<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sivlot<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(sing. <em>sevel<\/em>), is also translated here as labors, but is probably closer to \u201cburdens.\u201d The full Hebrew expression used in these verses is \u201cto take you out from under the <em>sivlot<\/em>,\u201d so it connotes a very literal burden that the slaves are bearing. A <em>sabal<\/em> is a porter, one who \u201cshleps\u201d weighty burdens for a living. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The singular \u201c<em>sevel<\/em>\u201d has come to mean \u201csuffering\u201d in general. This has given us an interesting family of words whose connections might not be obvious. The words \u201cpassive\u201d and \u201cpatience\u201d both go back to a Latin word for suffering (which also give us \u201cpassion\u201d), since both imply enduring trials without being willing or able to act. The Hebrew for these terms, from the root \u05e1-\u05d1-\u05dc, <em>s-v-l<\/em>, \u00a0is \u201c<em>savil<\/em>\u201d (\u201c<em>svilut<\/em>\u201d = passivity) and \u201c<em>savlanut<\/em>,\u201d respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern Hebrew uses this root for two other terms as well. \u201c<em>Sibolet<\/em>,\u201d means \u201cendurance,\u201d usually of the physical kind, while \u00a0\u201c<em>sovlanut<\/em>\u201d (note the different first vowel from \u201c<em>savlanut<\/em>\u201d) means \u201ctolerance,\u201d (\u201c<em>sovlan<\/em>\u201d = tolerant). While the idea of \u201c<em>sovlanut<\/em>\u201d is most definitely a social virtue, the connotations of both \u201ctolerance\u201d or \u201ctoleration\u201d and \u201c<em>sovlanut<\/em>\u201d (essentially to \u201csuffer\u201d others) are far from ideal or even inspiring. Suffering imposed by others should not be tolerated, though if one can bear one\u2019s burdens with patience and equanimity, that too is often a virtue.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":104221,"id":104221,"title":"-6261121099b13--6261121099b15ex6-milim sivlot.jpg","filename":"6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/milimilim-the-hebrew-corner-exodus-6\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot-jpg\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot-jpg","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":41178,"date":"2022-04-21 08:13:04","modified":"2022-04-21 08:13:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":960,"height":720,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","large-width":960,"large-height":720,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","1536x1536-width":960,"1536x1536-height":720,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","2048x2048-width":960,"2048x2048-height":720,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg.jpg","post_full_size-width":960,"post_full_size-height":720,"home_baner":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/6261121099b13-6261121099b15ex6-milim-sivlot.jpg-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"MiliMiliM -
