BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TODAYS RASHI RULE
--------------------------------------
One of Rashis tasks is to explain the meaning of words the
same way the dictionary explains words. Sometimes Rashi simply
gives the meaning of an unknown word. However at other times
Rashi will show a unifying theme to several disparate meanings
of a single Hebrew root.

STANDARD EXAMPLE OF TODAYS RASHI RULE
-------------------------------------
Todays posting can serve as a good example. The Hebrew word
BAYIT primarily means HOUSE.

The house is a GOOD EXAMPLE of a group of people--the household
-- that group together. Hence HOUSE can refer to HOUSEHOLD or
more generally to any group.

The HOUSE encloses and holds people in. Hence HOUSE can refer
to anything with the same FORM as a house such as a CLASP or
RING HOLDER

The House separates the INSIDE of the house from the OUTSIDE.
Hence HOUSE can refer to INSIDE.

Examples of verses with these meanings is presented below.
The about methods of naming items--good example, form etc--
are also presented in lists below.
