SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain grammar the same way a dictionary explains grammar. There are various aspects to grammar including verb conjugation, gender agreement, plurality agreement etc. In todays posting we focus on a brilliant discovery of the Malbim: The meaning of Hebrew words is not dependent only on 3 letter roots but rather is dependent on the combination of 3 letter roots with prepositions. One of Rashis discoveries is the idea that meaning is not only identified with a root but rather with the combination of a ROOT+PREPOSITION. That is, the meaning of a ROOT depends on the PREPOSITION following it. In this posting we review the meaning of the root beth-resh-caph. When followed by no preposition it means TO BLESS. But when followed by the preposition IN (BLESSED IN YOU) it means a BLESSING STANDARD. Thus the famous Gn48-20 JEWS WILL BLESS IN EPHRAIM/MENASEH means (According to Gn48-20) that when Jews bless their children they say MAY YOU BECOME AS BLESSED AS EPHRAIM/MENASHEH EXAMPLE Gn48-20a (Explicit usage) --------------------------------- The Jews will BLESS IN YOU: May God make you like Ephraim and Menasheh EXAMPLE Gn12-03a ---------------- (God to Abraham) IN YOU (that is BY YOU) will people BLESS (That is they will say may you become like Abraham) EXAMPLE Gn26-04a ---------------- (God to Isaac) IN YOUR DESCENDANTS will people bless (May you become like the Jews) EXAMPLE Nu05-21b,Nu05-21c ------------------------- (Priest to adulteress-suspect) People will CURSE/SWEAR IN YOU (that is, people will say MAY YOU BECOME LIKE SO AND SO THE ADULTERESS) | ||

*1 In the top 4 verses the identification of ----------------- BLESSED IN YOU ----------------- with ------------------------------------------------ People will say MAY YOU BE AS BLESSED AS SO & SO ------------------------------------------------ is explicit. This identification is then transferred to the bottom 6 verses That is we identify the verse blessing: NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN THE JEWS with the idea that people will say MAY YOU BE AS BLESSED AS Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. *2 So if the adulteress is convicted by the ceremony (and punished) then she becomes a symbol. When people want to curse they say MAY YOU BECOME LIKE SO & SO THE ADULTERESS On the other hand if the woman is EXEMPTED by the ceremony (and instead of being punished gives birth to children) people swear by her....e.g. MAY YOU BE JUDGED LIKE SO AND SO THE ADULTERESS |
