SORAYR=deviate;MOREH=rebel |
RASHIS COVERED: Dt21-18a Dt21-18b MOREH=Rebel;SORR=Deviate
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY:
-------------------
One of Rashis 6 goals is to explain the meaning of words
the same way a dictionary explains words. For example
-- Rashi can give the meaning of unknown words
-- Rashi can give the meaning of phrases
-- show a unifying meaning to diverse meanings of a root
-- paint shades and nuances of meaning and synonyms
On Dt21-18 Rashi explains the difference between the Hebrew
words SORAYR and MOREH both of which are translated as
REBELLIOUS. Rashi explains that MOREH means to DISOBEY an
order while SORAYR means to DEVIATE from the proper path

COMMENTS |
*1 Again Mem-Resh-Hey has been translated REBELLION
Sin-Resh-Hey has been translated as DEVIATE-REBELLION
Technically both roots are translated as REBELLION
However the verses show that S-R-H has a connotation
of DEPARTING from the true path.*10
*2 The full verse is ..WHO GO TO EGYPT WITHOUT ASKING ME
In other words unlike REBELLION (M-R-H) which consists
of violating an order DEVIATE-REBELLION (S-R-R) consists
of violating the good and established path of existing
customs and laws(In this case they should have consulted
with God before making a political alliance)
-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------------
*10 The related root Sin-Resh-Hey means to DEVIATE.
Technically S-R-H and S-R-R are distinct
roots one of which means DEPART and one of which
means REBELLION. Therefore we have emphasized the
inference from verses (rather than roots) to infer
that S-R-R has nuances of DEVIATION. This seems to
be the proper approach
