LECHEM means FUEL; PNAY means FOCUS


EXAMPLE: Lv03-11a FUEL for the altar Fire FOR the sake of God
EXAMPLE: Lv03-11b FUEL for the altar Fire FOR the sake of God
EXAMPLE: Lv04-06a Throw the blood to the FOCUS of the Curtain

BACKGROUND
----------
One of the major Rashi tasks is to act like a dictionary
and provide meaning. An important subtask here is to
provide NUANCES of new meanings and idioms.

THE TEXT--Here are some verses and their LITERAL translation
--------
Lv03-11 Bread Fire To Sweet Smell To God
Lv04-06a To the FACE of the PAROCETH

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi provides new nuances to these words as follows
------------------------------
BREAD     = FUEL
TO (LAMED)= FOR (LAMED)
FACE      = The Focus
------------------------------
Rashi also identifies the construct form in the verse

THE RESULTING TRANSLATION
-------------------------
Lv03-11 (the above organs are) FUEL for the FIRE; For
purposes of something sweet smelled FOR God

Lv04-06a Throw the blood to the FOCAL POINT of the PAROCETH*1

THE LIST
--------
THe LIST below really is 3 lists combined in one.
That is we defend our thesis in 3 ways
-- we show various WORD PAIRS (like day=12 hours;day=24 hours)
that show enlargement of meaning; so BREAD can mean
FUEL

-- We show VERSES where BREAD means FOOD
This justifies the attempted enlargement

-- We show that various ORGAN WORDS (Head,Face,Hand,Foot)
can refer to things with similar functions (HEAD means
TOP; FACE means FRONT; FOOT means SUPPORT etc). This
helps justify that FACE OF THE PAROCETH refers to the
FOCAL POINT OF THE PAROCETH

COMMENTS
*1 Recall the ark sat in the Holy of HOlies
   THe ark had two 20 feet poles used to carry it
   The Paroceth curtain covered the ark
   The paroceth had a sort of bulge where the 2 20 foot
   poles met the curtain. This bulge was the focal point
   of the Paroceth curtain since it was the primary goal
   of the curtain to cover the ark

*2 This list comes from our series on NAMING See
   http://www.RashiYomi.com/naming-8.htm

*3 3 of these verses were brought by Rashi. I added 2
   more

*4 These are standard idioms in all languages. Compare
   for example Ez38-12; The nation that sits on the
   CENTER (literally: BellY) of the earth.

   These idioms may be also found in RADACK
