RASHIS COVERED: Gn41-43b AVRAYCH=Good leader; KISAY=Throne VERY BRIEF SUMMARY: One of Rashis 6 primary tasks is to explain the meaning of words the same way a dictionary explores meaning. In this posting we explore 3 methods by which Rashi gives meaning: - 4 Letter roots: AVRAYCH means GENTLE (Rch) LEADER (Av) - NUANCES: KISAY does NOT mean CHAIR;it always means THRONE! We examine all verses with KISAY & show it means THRONE! - UNIFIED MEANING: Ch-m-sh always relates to the number 5 There appears to be 5 verses where Ch-m-sh means ARMED We give elegant arguments that it means FIFTH.Details below ------------------------------------------------- TODAYS RASHI RULE: WORD MEANINGS TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: WORD MEANINGS ------------------------------------------------- STANDARD REFERENCES FOR TODAYS RULE The RashiYomi dictionary http://www.Rashiyomi.com/words.htm The 6 Rashi goals: http://www.RashiYomi.com/rules-01.htm THE FIRST LIST We present a list of 4 letter roots and their meaning. | ||||

*1 In the main posting we discuss two approaches to 4 letter roots - The meaning of 4 letter roots is the sum of its 2 2 letter subroots - The meaning of 4 letter roots is based on 3 letter roots *4 Rashi Gn41-43b | ||||

People think KISAY means CHAIR. However throughout the Bible KISAY is always associated with the CHAIR of kings -- the THRONE. Here is a list. We use here the Rashi method of SYNONYMS/NUANCES--that is we use lists of verses to give a more detailed meaning to a root | ||
| VERSE WITH WORD KISAY(Chair/Throne) | King involved | |
| 1Ch29-23 | Solomon | |
| Ex11-05 | Pharoh | |
| Ps122-5 | David | |
| Jr17-12 | God | |
| Gn41-40c | Joseph | |

All agree that CHMAYSH means 5. Using the principle of UNIFIED TRANSLATION we explain all occurences of CHMAYSH as related to 5 (eg fifth, fifty,etc) 5 verses where CHIMAYSH is translated as ARMED must be retranslated | ||
| VERSE | TEXT OF VERSE WITH chimaysh INTERPRETED AS 20% | |
| Gn41-34a | Take a 20% (1/5) tax in years of saiety*1 | |
| Ex13-18c | Only 20%(1/5) of the Jews left Egypt*2 | |
| Jos1-14 | & you -- 1/5th the nation -- will go to war with them*3 | |
| Nu05-07 | He should add a 20% fine*4 | |
| Ju07-11 | They approached the elite fifth*5 | |
|
|

*3 Based on the census in Pinchas the 2.5 tribes had 110,000 people which (rounded to the nearest integer) was 1/5th the entire nation. *5 So every army had an ELITE FIFTH that went out before the others | ||
