SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis main goals is to explain grammar the same way modern Hebrew Grammar textbooks explain grammar. We call this the Rashi method of GRAMMAR. When Rashi discusses how a sentence can be made interrogative we speak about the Rashi submethod of the INTERROGATIVE EXAMPLE ------- - It is well known that a sentence indicates the interrogative if the letter hey is prefixed to a keyword (usually the first) in the sentence. - In a similar manner a sentence beginning with the keyword Caph-Yud, meaning PERHAPS, can also indicate the interrogative even if there is no hey EXAMPLE: Ex23-05b PERHAPS you will see the animals of your enemy overloaden and not help him? - A sentence following another sentence beginning with the phrase ISNT IT ENOUGH indicates a question EXAMMPLE: Gn30-15a ISNT IT ENOUGH you took my husband; You want to take my mandrakes also? - A sentence following a sentence beginning with the word BEHOLD can indicate the interrogative Ex08-22b BEHOLD if we offer offerings in front of Egypt, they wont kill us? LIST009b presents a list of QUESTION verses. LIST009c summarizes the keywords by which questions are asked. SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences or even meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING. EXAMPLE Ex08-22a ---------------- Ex08-22 states ---------------------------------------------------------------- It is DISGUST OF EGYPT to offer to our God If we offer DISGUST OF EGYPT they-ll kill us ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rashi infers that DISGUST OF EGYPT acquires the meaning of OFFERING Thus the verse should read ---------------------------------------------------------------- It is DISGUST OF EGYPT to offer to our God If we offer an OFFERING they-ll kill us ---------------------------------------------------------------- LIST343p summarizes this alignment | ||

*10 Since the Hebrew word KI has 7 meanings we can inquire if there is some way of recognizing when KI means PERHAPS The answer seems to be that if the verse in question -- has a contradiction -- indicates a question then the word KI should be interested as PERHAPS Let us use this principle to examine the two verses above. Ex23-05 states ------------------------------------------------ KI you see the donkey of your enemy overburdened and you will abstain from helping him you should help him ------------------------------------------------ Notice the contradiction (DONT HELP vs HELP) this suggests that the sentence is rhetorical ------------------------------------------------------- WHEN you see an overburdened donkey YOU WONT HELP HIM? ------------------------------------------------------- This in turn justifies interpreting KI as PERHAPS ------------------------------------------------------- PERHAPS you see an overburdened donkey YOU WONT HELP HIM? ------------------------------------------------------- The next verse is Gn50-19a. In addition to haveing the Hebrew word KI it also has the hebrew letter HEY which indicates a question. These TWO factors---KI + HEY-- justifies translating the KI as PERHAPS | |||
