RASHIS COVERED: Nu21-27c KI AL KAYN means THEREFORE Gn10-09c 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. | ||

We present verses with the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED AYIN-LAMED has 7 basic meanings and several idiomatic meanings The last 3 lists show idiomatic meanings of AYIN LAMED combined with other words.

VERSE | TEXT OF VERSE:AL KAYN is translated as THEREFORE | |
Nu21-27a | Israel conquered SICHON.THEREFORE they say *1 | |
Gn10-09c | Nimrod rebelled agaist God: THEREFORE they say*2 | |

*1 The full text is as follows - Nu21-25 The Jews conquered CHESHBON from the Emori - Nu21-26 CHESHBON originally belonged to MOAB but ------- Emori conquered it from them - Nu21-27 THEREFORE the proverbists say: COME BACK ------- (MOAB) to CHESHBON Rashi illuminates the logical connection implied by the THEREFORE with AN OTHER VERSE --Dt02-19 (Command of God to Jews) Dont war with Moab --Rashi-- Dt02-19 clearly prohibits waring with Moab and taking cities like Cheshbon which originally belong to Moab(Nu21-26). However since Emori conquered CHESHBON (Nu21-26) therefore the Jews had the right to take Cheshbon from Emori(Nu21-25). So no one has a claim against the Jews for taking Cheshbon. The MOST the proverbists can do is hope to get it back (Nu21-27) Hence Rashi here uses MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES (See Rashis on Nu21-26a) *2 Nimrod was the first person who rebelled against God by building the Tower of Babel. Therefore proverbists made NIMROD a catch word to refer to any one who rebelled against God |
