SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals is the teaching of grammar the same way grammar books teach grammar. Rashi will sometimes show how the verb-root in different MODES can mean different things. Here, Rashi can be aided by skillful use of PREPOSITIONAL connectives. EXAMPLE ------- The root Aleph-Lamed-Hey (ALH) has four meanings depending on - the MODE (Active / Passive) - The PREPOSITIONAL CONNECTIVE (FROM / TO) The four meanings are as follows EXAMPLE Gn32-37 ACTIVE MODE + TO -------------------------------- ...the DAWN has come up EXAMPLE Dt17-08f ACTIVE MODE + TO --------------------------------- If you GO UP TO THE TEMPLE Here the idea is that the TEMPLE is a SPIRITUALLY Higher place and hence you GO UP TO IT (True Jerusalem is higher than the rest of Israel but the main focus is on the spiritual height) EXAMPLE-Nu16-24a PASSIVE-FROM = WITHDRAW ---------------------------------------- e.g. WITHDRAW from the WICKED Korach group Here the emphasis is on LEAVING a bad situation without necessarily having a good alternative. EXAMPLE Ex32-01d ACTIVE FROM ---------------------------- GET AWAY FROM the Golden calf place and GO UP TO ISRAEL Here the emphasis is BOTH on withdrawing from a bad situation and going to a better place. | ||

*1 In these verses A-L-H TO means not so much PHYSICALLY going up; but rather GOING TO A PLACE OF HIGHER SPIRITUALITY (Examples are going to TEMPLE, ISRAEL...) *2 The emphasis in these verses is twofold - not where you are going TO - but am emphasis on withdrawing FROM a place - a further emphasis on lack of a place to go to In other words you are withdrawing from a bad situation without necessarily having a better alternative *3 These verses emphasize simultaneous - WITHDRAWAL from a bad situation - GOING TO a better situation *4 Rashi on this verse emphasizes the two nuances of GO UP FROM a) Judah talked against murdering Joseph b) Judah ALSO suggested a better solution (Sell him into slavery) *5 My interpretation (Egypt will be thrown out to a BETTER land) probably seems a bit radical. But dont forget this was the government talking and politicians are basically conservative. It is unreasonable to assume that they were worried about a takeover. A more reasonable fear is that as the Jews multiplied at a faster rate, the Egyptians would be forced to expand their economy in other areas outside Egypt...Thus many Egyptians would migrate to other lands possibly with better jobs but overall the Jews would stay in Egypt while the percentage of Egyptians would decline. |
