[Mesorah] [somewhat off-topic] ir Tziyon t'male

[Hayyim Obadyah]

The only one I have found among the Sephardi/Mizrahi tefilloth is:

 

הסידור המדוייק איש מצליח (מהדורא רביעית) לפי מנהגי ונוסח הספרדים ועדות המזרח

מכון הרב מצליח

מוסדות ישיבת "כסא רחמיך" ספרדית

תִּמָּלֵא

The song "Tzur Mishelo" contains the line "yibane hamikdash ir Tziyon
t'male".  That's the wording in every bentscher I'm familiar with, and in R'
Yaakov Emden's sidur.  But it seems so unpoetic to have the first half,
"yibane", in nif'al (and passive/intransitive) and the second, "t'male", in
piel (and active/transitive), when they could easily be balanced: "yibane
hamikdash ir Tziyon timale" with both in nif'al (and passive/intransitive,
as in "sheroshi nimla tal" in Shir Hashirim).  Does anyone know of sources
that have "timale" (nif'al), or of a reason it's "t'male" (piel)?

 

Have an easy fast and a happy Purim.
