| comment | Cf. rabû (v.) 'to become large in size; to be large' and 'to grow, to grow up (said of children)' (CAD R 37). The same meanings has Hbr. rbh (v.) 'to be big, numerous', for example wa-ttēreb mim-maśʔot kullām (Gen 43:34) 'And it was bigger than the tribute of all of them' and 'to grow', as in wa-ttirbī wa-ttigdəlī (Ezra 16:7) 'And you grew and became older.' (HALOT 1097) |
