how to say “instructions” in Hebrew

 

הוֹרָאוֹת
 

 

 
The word תּוֹרָה    comes from the root י.ר.ה (y.r.h) meaning instruction, so that the Torah could also be called the Book of Instruction. Here’s a video about this.
 
This same root gives rise to the common word for instruction, הוֹרָאָה   , which derives from the active-causative verb לְהוֹרוֹת   .
 
Likewise, הוֹרָאוֹת    are instructions, as in:
 
כְּבָר אֵין צוֹרֶךְ לְהַדְפִּיס הוֹרָאוֹת נְהִיגָה – יֵשׁ GPS.
There’s no longer a need to print driving instructions – there’s GPS.
