SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the laws of Grammar. One law of grammar deals with CONDITIONAL (if-then) statements. Even programming languages differ in their treatment of IF-THEN statements. Some program langauges REQUIRE use of KEYWORDS (IF such and such THEN such and such) This helps avoid ambiguity. But other languages are not so explicit. The Hebrew letter VAV can equally mean AND or IF-THEN. Hence Rashi when viewing a sequence of clauses connected by VAV must indicate which VAV means AND and which means THEN. So we translate Dt07-12 as follows --- As a consequence of listening AND Observing AND Doing these commandments THEN ---- God will watch the convenant... AND He will Love you AND He will bless you | ||
