Qudšu was later used in Jewish Aramaic to refer to God. [4]Words derived from the root qdš appear some 830 times in the Hebrew Bible. [9] [10] Its use in the Hebrew Bible evokes ideas of separation from the profane, and proximity to the Otherness of God, while in nonbiblical Semitic texts, recent interpretations of its meaning link it to ideas of consecration, belonging, and purification.
Verbs in Hebrew, like nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, are formed and declined by altering a (usually) three-letter stem, known as a shoresh (שורש transl. root).Vowels are added between or before these three consonants in a pattern to form a related meaning between different roots.
