COMMENTS
|
*1 Rashi further distinguishes between
- AFTER (Aleph-Cheth-Resh) which means IMMEDIATELY AFTER and
- AFTER (Aleph-Cheth-Resh-yud) which means EVENTUALLY
For example:
- IMMEDIATELY after Xerxes killed his wife, the process for
chosing a new wife began.
- EVENTUALLY after Jacob had instructed Joseph that he
must be buried in Israel, not Egypt, Jacob became
terminally ill*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES
|
*10 Remarkably the above table gives ALL Biblical examples!
There are only 11 (8 with Aleph-Cheth-Resh and 3
with Aleph-Cheth-Resh-yud).The Table is deliberately
terse--MOST of the examples however should be clear
The more interested reader should check the examples
and see how they fit the given principle
