SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals was the explanation of meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this the Rashi METHOD of WORD MEANINGS. Rashi had 10 vehicles to explain meaning. Rashi would sometimes explain a word using the specific meaning of one letter prefixes or 2 letter roots. We call this the Rashi SUBMETHOD of 2-4 LETTER ROOTS. A well known principle, ACCEPTED BY ALL HEBREW GRAMMARIANS, is that the Hebrew letter MEM means the PLACE of. EXAMPLE: Ex12-07b Ex12-07c DOORPOST, LENTIL ------------------------------------------- The Biblical text at Ex12-07b and Ex12-07b mentions the two Hebrew words - Mem-Zuz-Vav-Zuz-Hey which means, as Rashi comments, DOORPOST - Mem-Shin-Kuph-Vav-Pay which means, as Rashi comments, door LENTIL Notice how both Hebrew words begin with MEM: Hence we have the following Hebrew etymologies - ZWZ=move::MZWZH=PLACE OF (MEM) door movement--the doorpost - $KP=scan::M$QWP=PLACE OF (MEM) scanning--the door lentil LIST910e below gives further examples of the MEM prefix meaning PLACE. | ||
