Best Answer

In both Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew:

The causative verb form is called Hif'il (הפעיל). It isn't a stem, but rather a paradigm. You substitute the root letters of the verb in question for the letters פ.ע.ל as follows:

הכתיב (to dictate, i.e. to cause to write)
האכיל (to feed, i.e. to cause to eat)

What is the Hebrew translation for 'Biblical Children'?

There is no Hebrew word that means "Biblical". The Jewish scriptures are identified in Hebrew by an acronym: Tanakh (תנ״ך) Which just stands for the three parts of the Hebrew Bible (Torah, Neviim, Ktuvim). In Modern Hebrew, you can take this acronym and turn it into an adjective: Tanachee (תנכי). So a modern Hebrew phrase for Biblical children could be: baneem Tanacheem ( בנים תנכים)
