COMMENT: Sorry about forgetting verse list yesterday. They
are included in this issue.

RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-13b AYIN LAMED means NEAR
Nu02-20a Nu13-29b Lv15-25b Dt06-08a

QUESTION
--------
Ex01-05a states that PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING ON THE NILE
But Rashi states that the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED means NEAR.
Thus Rashi translates the verse: PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING
NEAR THE NILE. Is this the real meaning of AYIN-LAMED? Can
other examples be produced.

ANSWER
------
The Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED which is usually translated as
ON in fact has half a dozen meanings in addition to the special
idiomatic meanings it has with other words. Here are some
examples: AYIN-LAMED can mean a) ON, b) WITH, c) AT THE TIME OF
d) TOWARDS, e) FOR, f) NEAR, g) BESIDES. Furthermore in
conjunction with other words it can have idiomatic meaning--for
example it can mean a) DEPRESSED, b) THEREFORE or SINCE.

AYIN-LAMED has 7 basic meanings and several idiomatic meanings

Previous lists in the LIST004 series have reviewed
other meanings of AYIN LAMED as follows

VOLUME   MEANING OF AYIN LAMED    LIST INVOLVED

w16n16   NEAR                     LIST004f

Tody we present a list of verses where AYIN LAMED
means NEAR
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE:AYIN-LAMED MEANS besides,in addition
Nu01-52a Every man resided NEAR his Tribal flag
Gn14-06c ..they conquered till Ayl Paran*1 NEAR the desert
Ex01-05a She went down to bathe NEAR the Nile
Gn49-13b ... his borders will be NEAR Tzidon
Nu02-20a ... Ephraim dwelled NEAR Menasheh
Nu13-29b Amalek dwelled..NEAR the tributaries of the Jordan*2
-------- ---------------------------------------------
Lv15-25d ...If she sees a blood flow NEAR her period*3
Dt06-08a Bind them NEAR your hand*4 *10
COMMENTS
*1 AYL PARAN is the name of a place

*2 Nu13-29 literally says

--- Amalek sat ON THE HAND of the Jordan

Rashi does two things
- Rashi translates ON as NEAR (AYIN LAMED)
- Rashi translates HAND of JORDAN RIVER as
TRIBUTARY of JORDAN RIVER (Since tributaries
look like a hand)
Hence the whole verse is translated

--- Amalek sat NEAR the TRIBUTARY of the Jordan

*3 ie She sees a blood flow one day after her period

*4 NEAR your hand means the UPPER ARM
That is Tefillin are placed on the UPPER ARM
