Gn32-22a
(C) Dr Hendel, Dec-02


RASHIS COVERED: Gn18-05c BECAUSE ON YES means SINCE!!!!
Gn18-05d Gn19-08b

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.

COMMENTS
*1 There are about 6 dozen Rashis on AYIN-LAMED. We shall
spend about 10 issues presenting all these Rashis.
This list will then grow over the next 10 issues

In this issue we present examples where the idiomatic
phrase ON THE FACE OF means DEPRESSED/ANGRY or UPSET.

We present below a list of verses where the
Hebrew phrase KI AL KAYN means SINCE

Note that the literal translation of this phrase
has no special meaning
- KI means BECAUSE
- AL means ON
- CAYN means YES
Thus it is not obvious that the idiom KI AL KAYN
means SINCE. However this translation flows
naturally as we will see today and tomorrow
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE: KI AL CAYN is translated as SINCE
Gn18-05c Please Eat SINCE you came to me
Gn18-05d Please eat SINCE you came to me
Gn19-08b Leave them alone SINCE they are my guests
