RASHIS COVERED: Dt28-29a ASHK=withold wages


VERY BRIEF SUMMARY:
-------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain meaning the same way the
dictionary does. Dictionary explanation, far from being a routine
task, is very often challenging. We present some real peaches of
Rashi here. Rashi explains
-- Ayin-Shin-Kuph doesnt mean to steal--it means WITHOLDING WAGES
-- Resh-Gimel-Zayin refers not so much to anger as TREMBLING
-- Resh-Gimel-Ayin can mean CRACK, SECOND, CALM:
---- In the ACTIVE tense R-G-A means to CRACK TO PARTICLES
---- In the NOUN form R-G-A means a SECOND--a PARTICLE of time
---- In the PASSIVE tense R-G-A means to REST--GIVE-ME-A-SECOND

STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE

Here is the first list---verses showing that A-Sh-K means
to WITHOLD WAGES*1 The second list presents a separate
proof (Tomorrow we will give 4 other lists on the roots
RGZ and RGA)

In this second list Rashi derives the meaning of
A-Sh-K from Lv05-21b which describes 5 stages of theft
