SUCCINT SUMMARY
---------------
One of Rashis main goals was the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had
a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. Rashi frequently
explained IDIOMS.

EXAMPLE Nu13-32b Nu14-09a -- GOOD EXAMPLE METHOD
------------------------------------------------

The Bible says THEY ARE OUR BREAD. This is equivalant
to the English Metaphor A PIECE OF CAKE. Notice how
BREAD/CAKE are GOOD EXAMPLES of things that are easy
to consume.
Notice how in the above examples we name an item by
a related activity. For example PIECE OF BREAD refers
to EASY TO DESTROY/CONSUME since BREAD is
also EASY to CONSUME. Here EASYNESS TO CONSUME
is named by BREAD which has EASYNESS TO CONSUME
as one of its properties. Such naming by related
items is called METONOMY and SNECHDOCHE.
EXAMPLE Nu13-16a - FOUR LETTER ROOTS
------------------------------------
Joshua = God (YAH) will SAVE YOU (shua)
