VERSE: Gn49-05b
RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-05b Gn49-05c
Gn49-05b
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain the meaning of
words the same way the dictionary does.

EXAMPLE
-------
The Biblical phrase TOOLS OF VIOLENCE means a VIOLENT
CRIMINAL PERSONALITY.

EXAMPLE
-------
The Biblical root Caph-Resh which means the melting
pot also refers to SOJOURNSHIP/ALIENSHIP.

Hence the Rashi on Gn49-05: The Biblical phrase
IN SOJOURNSHIP THEY USED UTENSILS OF VIOLENCE means
that while in a helpless state(powerless and their
sister was raped) they resorted to violence (instead
of faith).

COMMENTS
 
*1 Many examples in this list come from previous
list in the metonomy series (LIST871a,
LIST871b, LIST871c)

*2 See LIST871e for 6 Rashis mentioning this HAND=DOMAIN
theme

*3 See LIST871f for verses where NSA means GIFT

*4 Rashi citing the Midrash Rabbah states
-------------------------------------
Your violence is something you VIOLATED
from Esauv (You are killing like Esauv)
-------------------------------------

But I see no reason to see this Midrash
as the PRIMARY simple meaning of the
verse. The PRIMARY meaning of the verse
is that Shimon and Levi were criminals
The Midrash is simply adding a pun to this
observation.
