# verified

verb, past form of verify (verify, verifies, verified, verifying); adjective (verified)

«verified» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. Checked and shown to be true or correct: the answer was verified. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/V/verified/#m1)
2. (adjective) Officially confirmed as real, like a verified account online that really belongs to the person it says. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/V/verified/#m2)

### In the lessons

In maths and science it means an answer or result has been checked, for example by working backwards or repeating an experiment. In online safety a "verified" badge shows an account is real, though it does not mean everything posted is true. Phrases: verified by, independently verified, a verified account, cannot be verified.

### Note

Past form of verify: y changes to i before -ed (verified), but not before -ing (verifying). "Verified" means checked, not automatically correct forever. In maths, a verified answer is one you have checked, for example 7 x 8 = 56 verified by 56 / 8 = 7.

## In Jewish tradition

In the Torah, "verified" means proved true. Joseph's brothers must bring Benjamin to show that their story is true.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads this as a test of the brothers. Joseph wants to see whether they have changed and will protect their youngest brother.

### Examples

- and bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die.' And they did so. (Torah GEN.42.20, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/V/verified/#x1)
- Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Thy word be verified, which Thou spokest unto Thy servant David. (Writings 2CH.6.17, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/V/verified/#x2)
- Now therefore, O God of Israel, let Thy word, I pray Thee, be verified, which Thou didst speak unto Thy servant David my father. (Prophets 1KI.8.26, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/V/verified/#x3)
