10:11 – \u201c<\/span>No! You menfolk hagevarim<\/em>\u00a0go and worship the LORD, since that is what you want.\u201d And they were expelled from Pharaoh\u2019s presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The above quote is Pharaoh\u2019s response to Moses\u2019 bold proclamation of who is to leave Egypt (v. 9): Moses replied, \u201cWe will all go, young and old: we will go with our sons and daughters, our flocks and herds; for we must observe the LORD\u2019s festival.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But Pharaoh was only down with the men leaving. The word used is gever<\/em> (sing.), gevarim<\/em> (plural). This word is from the root \u05d2-\u05d1-\u05e8, g-b-r<\/em>, which underlies a number of basic Hebrew words. The noun gever<\/em> means adult male, though originally referred to a rooster. But it means more than \u05d0\u05d9\u05e9, \u201cish<\/em>,\u201d generic for “man,” since the word gever<\/em> emphasizes “masculinity” (gavriut<\/em>) or being “manly” (gavri<\/em>). There is a female version \u2013 \u05d2\u05d1\u05e8\u05ea, giveret<\/em> \u2013 but this means more like “lady” or “Mrs.” \u2013 as in \u05d2\u05d1\u05e8\u05ea \u05db\u05d4\u05df, giveret<\/em> Cohen, Mrs. Cohen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another noun from this root is \u201cgibor<\/em>.\u201d Ask any Israeli child who or what a gibor<\/em>, is, and they will say a hero. It could be a gibor milchamah<\/em>, a war hero, or a \u05d2\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8-\u05e2\u05dc, gibor-‘al<\/em>, a superhero, of the comic book variety. That applies to \u05d2\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4, giborah<\/em>, fem., a brave, valiant or heroic female, as well. The classic rabbinic tradition, though, has a very different definition. \u05d0\u05d9\u05d6\u05d4\u05d5 \u05d2\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8? Eyzehu gibor<\/em>? they asked (Avot 4:1), “Who is a [true] hero? \u05d4\u05db\u05d5\u05d1\u05e9 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d9\u05e6\u05e8\u05d5, hakovesh et yitzro<\/em>, \u201cone who can conquer their own inclinations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In kabbalistic tradition \u05d2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4, gevurah<\/em>, is one of the ten sefirot, emanations or facets of God. It is stands opposite to \u05d7\u05e1\u05d3, chesed<\/em> and refers to God’s power or judgment, as opposed to mercy or love. The angel \u05d2\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0\u05dc, gavriel<\/em>, Gabriel is connected to this, as the name is to the root. God’s power for instance is evident in the triumph of life over death, referenced in the second blessing of the Amidah, “the standing prayer (also known as the “prayer of the 18 [blessings]”) that speaks of eternal life, and is known as \u05d1\u05e8\u05db\u05ea \u05d4\u05d2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea, birkat hegevurot<\/em>. Likewise, a person who has reached the venerable age of 80, is said to have \u05d4\u05d2\u05d9\u05e2 \u05dc\u05d2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea, higi’a legevurot<\/em>, has reached the age of valor. Now that\u2019s a gever<\/em> (or giveret<\/em>)!<\/span>
