Qal Infinitive construct לַעֲבֹט Deuteronomy 24:10 to take possession of a thing pledged (with accusative of congnate meaning with verb); Imperfect 2nd person masculine singular give a pledge תַּעֲבֹט Deuteronomy 15:6 (i.e. borrow).
Hiph. Perfect 2nd person masculine singular וְהַעֲבַטְתָּ֫ גּוֺיִם רַבִּים Deuteronomy 15:6 and thou shalt cause many nations to give pledges (i.e. lend to them); Imperfect 3rd person masculine singular suffix + Infinitive absolute הַעֲבֵט תַּעֲבִיטֶנּוּ Deuteronomy 15:8 thou shalt surely lend to him (literally as above).
