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
VERSE ROOT ACTIVE HIFIL TRANSLATION OF VERSE
Gn19-11 Nun-Caph-Hey Injured Hit They HIT the intruders
1K11-04 Nun-Teth-Hey Deviate lure His wives LURED him after idols
Nu26-09c Nun-Tzde-Hey StickUp Incite When they INCITED people on Moses
COMMENTS
*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
LIST952c
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


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.
VERSE GRAMMAR MEANING RELATION TO STICKING OUT
Lv01-16 Noun FEATHER Something STICKING out
Song6-11 Noun BUD/SPROUT Something STICKING out
-------- ------- ----------- ------------------------------------
Jr02-15 Passive DESOLATE Ground covered with WEEDS/STICK-OUTS*1
Ex21-22 Passive FIGHT Receive STICKUPS( BUDDING IN)*2
Nu26-09 Causative INCITE Cause others to STICKUP/BUD IN*2
COMMENTS
*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
