SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of  Rashis 10 main goals is to explain grammar
the same way GRAMMAR textbooks explain GRAMMAR.

GRAMMAR has a rich variety of rules. One little known
rule of GRAMMAR is the pun rule which states that
an author can misspell a word so as to give dual
meaning to words (the misspelled word hints at
another meaning).

We call this the rule of PUNS.
PUNS are common in all languages. In FALL 2006
a paper on PUNS will appear in the JEWISH
BIBLE QUARTERLY. In that paper I show how Biblical puns
are frequently intended by the Author and describe the
various types of puns. PUNS are a powerful method
to indicate additional information.

EXAMPLE Dt30-03a
----------------
Dt30-03 states
----------------------------------------
[If you repent] God will RETURN your
captives and have pity on you
------------------------------------

The Hebrew word for RETURN YOUR CAPTIVES
- is written in the ACTIVE mode (HE WILL RETURN)
- vs the CAUSATIVE mode (HE WILL RETURN YOU)
This deliberate misspelling evokes the following
Rashi comment
------------------------------------------
As it were, God Himself was in exile with
us. When we return he will return
------------------------------------------
