In this series we review the meanings of the Hebrew word
        >ACH
This word occurs about 40 times in Chumash.
Its main three meanings are
        >ACH = USUALLY
        >ACH = MOST OF
        >ACH = PROBABLY




A person completing this module will have the skill competencies
necessary to UNDERSTAND and even REPRODUCE standard Talmudic
interpretations of ACH.




In the first few issues we review the Rashis that can be understood
as
        >ACH = USUALLY
        >ACH = MOST OF

EXAMPLE 4: Lv23-39a
----------
   >Lv23-39 USUALLY(ACH) on the 15th of the month you will
        >       have a HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
   >RASHI:
        >
        >The word
                >HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
        >refers to the
                >HOLIDAY CELEBRATION PEACE OFFERINGS
        >
        >USUALLY you will offer these offerings on the 15th.
        >But not if the 15th falls on a Saturday since you can
        >offer the HOLIDAY CELEBRATION OFFERINGS afterwards.




EXAMPLE 5: Nu26-55b
----------
The Biblical text is speaking about how the Jews and Tribes will
receive their portions in Israel. Moses explains

  >Nu26-55 MOST(ACH) people will receive inheritance thru the
        >       process of (casting a) LOST
        >
  >RASHI:
        >
        >MOST people will receive their inheritance by lot.
        >But not ALL people will receive by LOT.
        >Joshua and Caleb received their inheritance by
        >Gods decree and not by lot (This was a reward for
        >them not giving in to the slander of the spies)
