COMMENTS

*1 Almost the same as FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE
The point is FLEE CONCERNING LIFE, NOT MONEY
*2 Note how Rashi translates
- RUACH as meaning EMOTIONS not WIND
- AL as meaning CONCERNING not ON
Hence Rashi translates the verse as
- God aroused(in Himself) emotions CONCERNING the flooded
- land
But why does Rashi avoid the obvious translation
- God made a wind come over the land
Rashi-is-Simple: The land was covered with 60 feet
of water. So a wind could NOT come over the land
(because it was covered). Hence Rashi interprets
the verse as EMOTIONS CONCERNING THE FLOODED LAND
*3 Actually this verse is a little more complicated
- NECK is a universal symbol for BACKBONE & STEADFASTNESS
- CRY ON always, in the Bible, means CRY CONCERNING
- CRY OF always, in the Bible, means MOURNING
Hence the verse should be translated as follows--
-Benjamin and Joseph CRIED CONCERNING each others
-steadfastness (that they each remained loyal to
-each other)
