📖 Theological Term to Know — Hithpael

Expand your theological vocabulary with HUSD. Today’s term, Hithpael, takes us into the Hebrew verbal system, where an action may turn toward the self, occur reciprocally, or convey intensity and repetition.

Continue learning with Howard University School of Divinity as we explore the language and concepts that shape theological study.
