The Hebrew word מחסן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/מחסן-#.m4a” /] refers to a storage unit, typically a shed or shack.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/מחסן-#.m4a” /]הוצאתם מהמחסן את כל מה שצריך בשביל הסוכה?
Have you guys taken everything we need for the Sukkah out of the storage shed?
מחסן comes from the Biblical-Hebrew root ח.ס.נ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/מחסן-#.m4a” /], having to do with treasure – things kept locked away. The word itself, however, was introduced to Hebrew in the modern era, following the Arabic مخزن[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/מחסן-#.m4a” /] (MAKH-zan).
