--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------
*10 This list was obtained using a Davka CD Rom
by searching for
-----------------------------
*Daleth-Beth-Resh Ayin-Lamed
-----------------------------
This search produced 5 records
*11 Rashis actual language here is interesting:
------------------------------------------
The rapist said (to the victim):
-- -- -- -- -- --
Look your father has
small fields; my
father has big fields
Our marriage would
help your situation
-- -- -- -- -- --
-------------------------------------------
But we need not interpret Rashi strictly. Rather
we can interpret Rashi broadly
--------------------------------------------
The rapist tried to convince his victim to
marry her. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE
HAPPENED is that he told her how his father
had many fields while her father had few
fields and hence the marriage would help her
--------------------------------------------
In other words we dont interpret Rashi strictly but
rather see Rashi as giving a GOOD EXAMPLE of the
GENERAL THEME of trying to CONVINCE her. Such an
approach to Rashi is mature, deep and satisfying; it
contrasts sharply with a shallow approach that
EXHAUSTS the meaning of the verse in the literal
statement of Rashi.
For more on this method (which I call the method
of ARCHETYPICAL examples) see my Tradition article
