VERSE: Ex40-38a The word JOURNEY can mean JOURNEY or CAMPPLACE BACKGROUND ---------- One of Rashis 6 main goals is to clarify the MEANING of WORDS. In the URL below we outlined 8 methods by which words acquire meaning. One of these methods is the GOOD EXAMPLE method REFERENCE --------- http://www.RashiYomi.Com/naming-8.htm THE BIBLICAL TEXT Ex40-38 ------------------------- The CLOUD OF GOD stayed on the Temple ...in all the Jews JOURNEYS THE RASHI --------- It is clear from Nu09-17 that the CLOUD rested on the temple when the Jews CAMPED as well as when they JOURNEYED. Therefore the word JOURNEY is a GENERIC word which can refer to the journeys and also to where they STAYED. THE LIST -------- The list below gives other word pairs where a word can be specific (eg HONEY) or can refer to an entire class of which it is a GOOD EXAMPLE The idea is that HONEY is a GOOD EXAMPLE of something SWEET and hence the word HONEY acquires the new meaning of anything SWEET. Similarly the JOURNEY is a GOOD EXAMPLE or the hard part of the JOURNEY-CAMPING paradigm and can consequently refer to the JOURNEY or the CAMPING. | ||
