RASHIS COVERED: Ex32-07a Ex08-20a Sexual corruption caused flood Gn38-09a Gn06-11a Gn06-12a Gn06-13a VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ Gn06-01:12 relates how the sexual corruption of Noachs generation led God to want to destroy them. Rashi/Chazals interpretation of CORRUPTION as SEXUAL is based on 4 Rashi techniques: -- OTHER VERSES:Gn06-05:06 explicitly details sexual corrpution -- WORD NUANCES:The Hebrew root Shin-Chet-Tauv denotes, not DESTRUCTION, but gradual DETERIORATION and would denote a sociey plagued by loose and low behavior -- WORD NUANCES:The word FLESH denotes people in their capacity as PHYSICAL BEINGS involved in the physical aspects of reality -- DATABASE METHODS:Gods wrath is a response to sexual corruption ------------------------------------------ TODAYS RASHI RULES: OTHER VERSES-FURTHER DETAILS TODAYS RASHI RULES: WORD MEANINGS-NUANCES TODAYS RASHI RULES: DATABASE METHODS ------------------------------------------- STANDARD REFERENCES FOR TODAYS RULES - OTHER VERSES: http://www.RashiYomi.com/other-20.htm - WORD NUANCES: http://www.Rashiyomi.com/words.htm - DATABASE METHODS: http://www.RashiYomi.com/database.htm BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RASHI RULES -WORD MEANINGS: One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meanings of words the same way a dictionary explains meaning. However there are many ways to explain word meanings. Sometimes Rashi will give the meaning of an unknown word. Other times Rashi will give the finer nuances of a word whose meaning is known.For example, FLESH denotes a person---but in finer detail it denotes people in their capacity to be involved in this physical world - OTHER VERSES Not all Rashis deal with internal analysis based on WORDS and GRAMMAR. Some Rashis base themselves on inferences from OTHER VERSES. Thus the Biblical statement in Gn06-11 that people were corrupted is NOT necessarily interpreted by the nuances of CORRUPT--it is rather boldly and explicitly supported by the BRAZEN DESCRIPTION in Gn06-02 that Student Prophets stole Brides for sexual purposes (A rather punchier defense of Rashi!) - DATABASE The Masorites--the scholars like Rashi who preserved the Biblical text were the King of Databases and frequently used advanced database methods that are only being discovered today. For example, simple database methods allow us to query those attributes associated with Gods wrath and sexual behavior is a frequent associant. TODAYS LISTS We present 4 lists - The Database query of WRath and Sexual misbehavior - An list showing enrichment by other verses - A list showing the Shin-Chet-Tauv means DETERIORATION - A list showing that FLESH denotes PHYSICALITY In this first list we show the database query of Gods wrath as a response to sexual misbehavior | ||||
