SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals is the explanation of dictionary meaning. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning including UNIFIED MEANINGS. EXAMPLE ROOT PAY-LAMED-HEY or PAY-LAMED-ALEPH --------------------------------------------- These two roots have a fundamental idea of DISTINGUISHED This can be used in 3 ways FIRST WAY:I will DISTINGUISH the Jews ------------------------------------- e.g. Ex34-10b Ex08-18a Ex09-04a Ex11-07a Similarly Dt28-59a DISTINGUISHED PUNISHMENTS SECOND WAY: A person who makes a VOW ------------------------------------ See Lv22-21a Lv27-02a Nu06-02a Note that a VOW makes something distinguished and dedicated to God eg. Lv22-21a If a person VOWS (=DISTINGUISHES) an ANIMAL as a Shlamim offering THIRD WAY: UNKNOWN - ABOVE ME ----------------------------- (Dt17-08a) When a law is UNKNOWN (ABOVE) you then seek counsel Other examples occur at Dt30-11a and Gn18-14a. In all these verses UNKNOWN refers to something ABOVE the person--that is something that is DISTINGUISHED and BEYOND the person. Some profound comments on Rashi-s approach are made in footnote *10 | ||

*10 Rashi provides a UNIFIED treatment of the two roots Pay-Lamed-Aleph and Pay-Lamed-Hey. See a previous posting in http://www.Rashiyomi.com/h11n18.htm More interesting are the 3 words Rashi uses to explain the roots P-L-A vs P-L-H. He translates them as - COVERED (CSH) --- eg Gn18-14 - SEPARATED (BADAL) -- eg Dt28-59a Ex09-04a Ex11-07a Ex34-10b - TAKEN OUT (PRASH) -- eg Dt30-11a Lv22-21a Lv27-02a Nu06-02a But, you ask, how do you know that Rashi meant the SAME thing with these THREE different translations? Good Question. I know because Rashi says so EXPLICITLY at Dt17-08a. Also Rashi connects BDL and PRSH on Ex08-18a. By reviewing these dozen Rashis we see one concept with 3 nuances rather than 3 different translations!! This is profound but fundamental to learning Rashi | ||

*1 Both RADACK and Rashi use the word SEPARATE. However the translation DISTINGUISHED fits better; it is not any SEPARATION but rather a SEPARATENESS of being BETTER and DISTINGUISHED*10 *2 Lamentations 1,9 states ISRAEL WENT DOWN IN PELEH -- RADACK translates: It was a DISTINGUISED downfall -- RASHI translates: Israel went down to an UNKNOWN place (i.e. they went down to the DEEP) | |||

*10 RADACK brings in the Hebrew word NIFLAOTH usually translated as MIRACLES. A better translation is DISTINGUISHED SALVATIONS. | |||
