Part 5 of a 5 part part series NOTE This posting will last 2 days SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 major goals is to explain meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. One very general method of creating meaning is called METONOMY. METONOMY refers to identifying a meaning with any RELATED meaning. EXAMPLES -------- - The PEN is mightier than the SWORD The reference of course is to PEN-RELATED ACTIVITIES (such as books, articles) and to SWORD-RELATED ACTIVITIES (Such as killing and plundering). - (Amos04-06) God will give you CLEAN TEETH (The reference being to the lack of food that is RELATED to clean teeth). - Gn19-08 dont harm them because they came under my ROOF Here, ROOF refers to HOUSE and HOUSE refers to PROTECTION PROTECTION is HOUSE-related while HOUSE is ROOF-related (This is a double METONOMY or a METALEPSIS) Dont get bogged down in the terms...just remember the simple fact that any word can refer to items RELATED to it(Like ROOF refers to HOUSE) In todays posting below we give METONOMYs of the word HOLY EXAMPLES -------- - HOLY can refer to the holy-related TEMPLE - HOLY COINS means COINS related to TEMPLE activities - They carry the HOLY, means TEMPLE-RELATED objects - Make them HOLY, means enable them to legally deal with HOLY/TEMPLE related objects*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES
*10 Some authors distinguish between METONOMY and SYNECDOCHE(METONOMY is ANYTHING related while SYNECDOCHE refers to WHOLE-PART relationships--eg. ROOF-HOUSE) We however ignore this. So we use METONOMY to refer to ANYTHING RELATED (whether it is metonomical, synecdochal or metalepsical) Just remember that METONOMY=RELATED and think of ROOF=HOUSE or HAND=PERSON (eg GIVE MY HAND IN MARRIAGE)

LIST871a (C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03
A list of verses where the word HOLY is used menotomically-- that is the word HOLY means HOLY RELATED. In the verses below the CAPPED words are a translation of the word HOLY. For example, in the first row, Lv27-25 says that dedications should be in HOLY COINS while we have translated this as TEMPLE RELATED COINS (that is coins weighing 20 GAYRAH which are used in the computation of Temple dedications) The coins themselves have no holiness or sanctity.

COMMENTS
1 If a person dedicates his worth to the temple -- eg he states MAY MY WORTH BE DEDICATED TO THE TEMPLE-- then he pays a standard worth using special silver coins (defined in this verse as equal to 20 GAYRAHS) Hence these silver coins are TEMPLE RELATED(that is related to TEMPLE procedures). Thus the phrase HOLY COIN is a METONOMY referring to this special type of silver coin 2 HOLY CLOTHES should be simply translated as TEMPLE-RELATED cloths--that is, the special priestly clothes worn by the priests during Temple services.11 3 All these examples refer to the TEMPLE BUILDING or TEMPLE GROUND. Thus the sacrifices had to be eaten on TEMPLE GROUNDS. Similarly the sockets were used in the TEMPLE BUILDING. 12 4 In these verses HOLY is used METONOMICALLY to mean anything TEMPLE related. Thus the phrase - bears the TEMPLE RELATED objects- means that this family transported the Holy parts of the temple - Similarly the SIN OF TEMPLE RELATED OBJECTS means exactly that--any sin having to do with temple items For example: selling temple objects or eating temple sacrifices etc 5 These sacrifices were eaten on Temple grounds (See 2 verses earlier Ex29-31) Hence they are HOLY (TEMPLE-RELATED since they may be eaten only on the temple)13 6 It would appear that the TZITZ is called HOLY metonomically since according to Ex28-38 it atones on the SINS OF THE HOLY OFFERINGS. Hence the TZITZ is RELATED TO HOLY OBJECTS10 *7 Of course the word TEMPLIZE is a coined word The proper English word is SANCTIFY but I wanted to catch the flavor of TEMPLE RELATED. In this verse TO TEMPLIZE (MAKE THEM HOLY) is a metonomy; the procedures are inauguration procedures to ALLOW THE PRIESTS TO OFFICIALLY SERVE IN THE TEMPLE -- hence these procedures enable TEMPLE-RELATED ACTIVITY--they TEMPLIZE
LONGER FOOTNOTES
10 Ex28-36:38 states that the TZITZ is placed on the PRIESTS FOREHEAD while Ex29-06 states PLACE THE HAT ON THE PRIESTS HEAD AND THE HOLY CROWN ON THE HAT. Therefore the HOLY CROWN must be referring to the TZITZ. Rashi uses here the technique of OTHER VERSES 11 Rashi adds a further nuance of TEMPLE CLOTHES-- CLOTHES bought with TEMPLE FUNDS--however the basic idea of a metonomy - TEMPLE RELATED, is present 12 Rashi gives further details -- eg the sacrifices were eaten not anywhere on Temple grounds but in the Temple courtyard Again this detail does not contradict the basic idea of a metonomy - TEMPLE RELATED 13 The actual verse states as follows --------------------------------------- Let the priests eat these sacrifices since they atone--and thereby the priestly training will be completed and the priests will be trained to officially serve--- -- and no non-priest shall eat these sacrifices because they are TEMPLE-RELATED --------------------------------------- From the last phrase Rashi infers that any sacrifice eaten on temple grounds could not be eaten by a non-priest (Rashi so infers because the verse gives a general reason--no NON-PRIEST should eat them BECAUSE THEY ARE TEMPLE RELATED) *14 See LIST050d for a list of transformations of nouns to verses (eg TO HAMMAR, TO SCREW, TO FAN, TO FLY...) Each of these transformations is MENOTONOMICAL (eg TO HAMMAR means to do a HAMMAR RELATED ACTIVITY; TO FLY means to do a FLY-RELATED ACTIVITY (the reference being to the house fly)
