>> In four places in Tanakh, our text has an aleph with a dagesh: Gen 43:26,
>> Lev 23:17, Job 33:21, and Ezra 8:18. What is the significance of this, and
>> for the first two examples, how would you indicate its existence while
>> laining?
>>
>> Commentaries that I've seen:
>>
>> Gen 43:26 -- Radak points out that it's there, but otherwise says
>> nothing. Minchat Shai says to look in ספר הנקוד הגדול from רב אשי, but I
>> don't know where to find that.
>>
>> Lev 23:17 -- Ibn Ezra says he doesn't know what it means.
>>
>> Job 33:21 -- Malbim comments that this is from the binyan Pual, that
>> normally comes with a dagesh.
>>
>> On all four, Minchat Shai mentions the phonomenon, but does not explain
>> it, besides pointing to ערומים from Gen 2:25, where he says:
>>
>> מצאתי להרמ״ה ז״ל בהקדמת ספרו שכתב זה לשונו כל אתא דקריא דגש באורייתא לו
>> סמיך לה מקמא אתא דכתיבא ולא קריא בר מן חמשה תלת מנהון מלאים וא״ו ותרין
>> מנהון מלאים יו״ד
>>
>> and then lists עָרוּמִּים, תְּלוּנֹּתָם, תְּלוּנֹּת, and our two
>> examples, וַיָּבִיאּוּ and תָּבִיאּו. I'm not sure of who he's quoting, and
>> I'm having some trouble parsing the Aramaic, but he seems to be saying that
>> the Vav and Yud male are causing a dagesh, but only in these five instances
>> (in Torah). Can someone fully translate this passage, and help shed some
>> light?
>>
> I'll also add that in my tikkun, by Gen 43:26, there's a note to
> "pronounce the aleph strongly"!
>
> A good mo'ed everyone!
