This Posting will last 2 days(for 2 lists) SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain grammar the same way grammar textbooks do. A major function of grammar is the explanation of root conjugation.Rashi will typically only explain RARE conjugations EXAMPLE ------- The root Nun-Tzade-Hey has two weak letters - The Nun - The Hey The conjugation of Nun-2-Hey roots in Hifil is a rarity(There are only 2 other examples in the whole Bible). The typical form HIVDIL becomes HITZU Since N-Tz-H means to FIGHT, therefore in the causative N-Tz-H means to INCITE (others to fight) Other verses confirm that DATAN & AVIRAM incited the congregation against God and Moses-Aaron A further list shows that the Hebrew relationship between N-Tz-H=BUD and FIGHT occurs in English also (TO BUD IN = TO FIGHT) | ||

We bring all Biblical examples of the CAUSATIVE of roots with two weak letters (PAST PLURAL 3rd Person). List is courtesy of Moshe Silbermans Grammatical Form Konkordance root 3070-d. LIST952c defends our translation of root Nun-Tzde-Hey as STICKUP | |||||

*1 Rashi (Nu26-09a and Nu26-09b) in effect cites OTHER VERSES to confirm that indeed INCITATION occured - against Moses/Aaron Authority(Nu16-02:03) - against God (Nu16-13:14) That is DATAN and AVIRAM tried to get the Jewish people to ignore Moses authority and to Doubt Gods promise of bringing them to the Promised land |

We bring all five meanings of the root Nun-Tzade-Hey. We posit a unified meaning of SOMETHING STICKING OUT. From this UNIFIED meaning of STICKING OUT we get FEATHER, BUD, DESOLATE(Covered with BUDS/WEEDS) FIGHT (Bud in to others business) and INCITE This list illustrates some subtleties in Commentary controversy on meaning. | ||||

*1 The equation of DESOLATION = BUDDING WEEDS is due to the Radacks father. This perception allows us to give a unified meaning to Nun-Tzade-Hey *2 It may seem SILLY to call a FIGHT a STICKUP (The idea being that FIGHTS use FISTS(Things STICKING OUT) and come from people STICKING THEIR NOSE or BUDDING IN to things that are not their business). But note the English pun agreement: BUD=BUD-IN::NTzH=BUD::FIGHT. Such agreements give credibility to our unified approach |
