SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 major goals is to explain grammar the same
way modern textbooks explain grammar. One goal of grammar
is to clarify the meanings and usage of SPECIAL WORDS. We call
this the Rashi METHOD/SUBMETHOD of GRAMMAR / SPECIAL CONNECTIVE
WORDS(ON,TO,FOR,...)

EXAMPLE Nu04-26a ON can mean FOR
--------------------------------
Nu04-26 states
---------------------------------------
[They are appointed] on...the yard-door cover ON (AYIN LAMED)
the Tabernacle and Altar
---------------------------------------

Rashi comments
-------------------------------------------------------------
ON (AYIN LAMED) can mean FOR. Hence the verse is translated
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[They are appointed] on...the yard-door cover FOR (AYIN LAMED)
the Tabernacle and Altar
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-------------------------------------------------------------

LIST004b below presents other verses where AYIN LAMED means FOR

EXAMPLE Nu04-22a ALSO can refer to SIMILAR RELATIONSHIPS
--------------------------------------------------------
Nu04-2:3 Nu04-22:23 Nu04-29:30 state
--------------------------------------------
Raise the KEHATHITES, from 30-50, all those who come to
serve God, count them ...

Raise the GERSHONITES ALSO, from 30-50, all those who come
to serve God, count them...

--------- Count the MERRARITES from 30-50, those who
come to Serve God
---------------------------------------------

Notice the word ALSO by the GERSHONITES. Also notice
the absence of the word RAISE by the MERRARITES.

Rashi comments
---------------------------------------------
The word ALSO indicates that the census for
all three families was to be identical (That is
ALSO indicates SIMILAR RELATIONSHIPS)
---------------------------------------------

LIST005k brings verses with all 3 uses of ALSO (a)extra
object, (b) derived object and (c) similar relationship)

COMMENTS
*1 Here is the way to use this list. We use the first row

Verse Column
------------
First we look up the verse Ex19-22a AND ALSO THE PRIESTS
WILL SEPARATE.

Text Column
-----------
We see the text---- PRIESTS separate.

Also Column
-----------
This column indicates that ALSO includes the FIRSTBORN
(who functioned as priests).

So the verse is read as follows
--------------------------------------------
God told Moses: The Priests ALSO (besides the firstborn)
will separate
--------------------------------------------

In other words the word ALSO is interpreted to include
the FIRSTBORN besides the PRIEST. The FIRSTBORN are
EXTRA to the priest.

To make this easier to see I have CAPPED both FIRSTBORN
and PRIESTS.

*2 So here without the word ALSO I would say that God punishes
nations which subjugate us. With the word ALSO I say that God
both punishes the nation AND with 10 plagues AND with letting
the Jews out with wealth.

*3 God criticized Moses for wanting an IMMEDIATE fulfillment
of the prophecy that the Jews will be redeemed. God said
I ALSO gave prophecies to the Patriarchs (And they did
not demand immediate fulfillment)

*4 7:2--7 Kosher animals vs 2 non-kosher animals--
is only mentioned by the ANIMALS. The word ALSO
implies the 7:2 ratio was preserved by the birds ALSO.

*5 Just as when Sarah couldn't have children she gave her
husband(Abraham) her maid (Hagar) so too when Rachel
could have children she gave her husband her maid

*6 Laban had tricked Jacob into marrying Leah vs. Rachel.

*7 Jacob had tricked Isaac into blessing him. Isaac says
he is ALSO blessed. In other words, EVEN if he hadnt
tricked me he would still be blessed.

*8 The Non-jews complained about the lack of food in
the desert. The verse continues THEY RETURNED AND
COMPLAINED, ALSO THE JEWS. The word ALSO connotes
that the Jews complained with the same cynicism
as the non-jews.

*9 Gn21-27 confirms this since it states
------------------------------------------------
Who would have expected Sarah to NURSE CHILDREN
------------------------------------------------
The plural CHILDREN connotes that Sarah nursed
the children of several women at the birthday
party.

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 The three methods are
- ALSO connotes an EXTRA extraneous object
- ALSO connotes a DERIVED object
- ALSO connotes a SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP or method

See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/dt23-19c.htm
for a previous presentation of this list

*11 The argument is that if
- Esauv tries to Kill Jacob
- Jacob will defend himself and kill Esauv first
- But then Esauv-s followers will kill Jacob
- And Jacobs followers will kill Esauvs followers
- and the two groups of followers will fight

Rashi cites an obscure Talmudic passage from Sotah that
both Jacob and Esauv died on the same day---but this
Homily is clearly allegorical--furthermore the Talmud
refutes this and claims that they were buried on the
same day (But died on different days)


*12 Rashis point is as follows
- Nu04-02:03 (Census KEHATHITES)
- Nu04-22:23 (Census GERSHONITES)
- Nu04-29:30 (Census MERRARITES)
All three verse pairs require census but their language
differs slightly. Hence the word ALSO indicates that
the three tribes are all COUNTED the same way.
