VERSE: Gn41-12a
RASHIS COVERED: Gn41-12a Gn41-12b Gn41-12c Gn41-12d
Gn41-12a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis exciting tasks is to make broad database
inquiries, thereby exposing patterns in Biblical style.

EXAMPLE
-------
References are frequently made in Biblical literature--
e.g. ...and SO AND SO WAS THERE. A database search
shows that when someone is CONTRIBUTING to a situation
you REFERENCE him/her positively--with good attributes.
It is poor and insulting style to reference someone
negatively and ask for a favor.

We use this style rule to infer that the Master Chef
deliberately insulted Joseph(by calling him perjorative
items like SLAVE, YOUTH, NON-EGYPTIAN) in order to
sabotage his appointment as Royal dream interpreter.

See LIST605k for further details.
VERSE THERE WAS THERE... WHAT THE PERSON THERE DID
2C28-09 a PROPHET FOR GOD*1 Told them not to take captives
2K04-08 DISTINGUISHED woman Provided hospitality for prophet
1S01-03 ELIs sons,PRIESTS They served in Temple
Gn41-12a YOUNG HEBREW SLAVE He helped us;understood dreams*1
------- ------------------ ----------------------------
2S20-01 WICKED PERSON*1 Encouraged rebellion against king
COMMENTS
 
*1 The first 3 references are people who did good and the
reference is positive (PROPHET, DISTINGUISHED, PRIESTS...)

The last reference is someone who did evil and the
reference is negative (WICKED).

Hence the NEGATIVE REFERENCES to Joseph in Gn41-12a
show an aberration of style--the master baker did not
praise him and tried to insult him. See LIST605k for
further details.
