SUCCINCT SUMMARY: ----------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain meaning the same way the dictionary explains meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of WORD MEANINGS. Rashi could simply infer meaning from a list of verses which use this root. We call this the RASHI SUBRULE of WORD MEANINGS. Perhaps it should more appropriately be called the Rashi subrule of INFERENCE FROM VERSES. Note that this Rashi subrule corresponds to the Rabbi Ishmael exegetical rule of INFERRING BASED ON GENERALIZATION FROM SEVERAL TEXTS In a rare Rashi gem, Rashi actually uses the LIST method employed by this Rashi Digest to prove his point. This is a true peach of a Rashi for those who wish to master the LIST METHOD. EXAMPLE: Cheth-Resh-Tzade (XRC) Ex11-07a ---------------------------------------- The Biblical text at Ex11-07 states ------------------------------------------------- But for the Jews--no dog will have a XRC tongue ------------------------------------------------- Rashi comments ------------------------------- The Hebrew root XRC means SHARP ------------------------------- Hence Rashi re-interprets the verse as follows ----------------------------------------------- But for the Jews--no dog will have a SHARP tongue ----------------------------------------------- In a rare Rashi gem, Rashi actually uses the LIST method employed by this Rashi Digest to prove his point. This is a true peach of a Rashi for those who wish to master the LIST METHOD. Rashi gives the following list Is41-15 I have made you into a SHARP sieve--grinding mountains ------ ---------------------------------------------------- Ex11-07a No dog will SHARPEN(bark SHARPLY) against the Jews Jo10-21 The army returned in peace--no one had a SHARP WORD 2S08-24 SHARPEN, When you hear the signal--the enemy is yours ------ ---------------------------------------------------- Pr21-05 The thoughts of the SHARP give profit Pr10-04 The assets of SHARP [people] will prosper LIST802n below summarizes this list. | ||
