It’s been in the news the last few days – several bank robberies taking place in different parts of Israel.
The Hebrew word for to rob is the simple פעל verb, לִשְׁדּוֹד (leesh-DOHD). A robber is a שׁוֹדֵד (shoh-DED) when referring to a male and a שׁוֹדֶדֶת (shoh-DEH-det) when referring to a female (equal opportunity).
And the act of robbery itself is שׁוֹד (shohd).
These words go back to Biblical Hebrew and, like many others, are used in Modern Hebrew as well.
