QUESTION KEYWORDS |
--- GRAND SUMMARY ----
During the past 4 days we have reviewed the methods
by which a Biblical verse is declared to be a QUESTION
vs a STATEMENT. In other words, HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE
THAT A BIBLICAL VERSE IS A QUESTION.
We outlined 5 keywords which indicate question status.
A summary is provided below. Other examples were presented
in the past 4 or 5 days.
This is part of the GRAMMAR Rashis--that is, Rashis whose
goal is to indicate grammatical principles. In this case
we present the SENTENCE principle that indicates a
question.

COMMENTS |
*1 The whole text is as follows
--------------------------------
Isnt it enough you are levites?
You want priesthood?
This is what you fight about?
--------------------------------
Rashis contribution is to identify the last 2 sentences
as QUESTIONS vs STATEMENTS.
*2 As indicated in the long footnote above to justify translating
the Hebrew KI as PERHAPS the verse must have
-- a contradiction indicating a rhetorical nature
-- the Hebrew HEY indicating a question
