SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals was the explanation of words the same way the dictionary explains words. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. One such vehicle was the SYNONYM method in which Rashi explains contrasting nuances between words with similar meanings. Another method is the unified meaning method in which Rashi shows an underlying semantic unity among disparate meanings of a root EXAMPLE - Dt13-06a Dt19-16a S-R-H=Fabrication --------------------------------------------- There are a variety of roots which indicate falsehood and fabrication. They include - B-D = isolated = a fabrication ISOLATED from reality - S-R-H = remove = a fabrication REMOVED from reality Rashi gives an example of REMOVED/FABRICATED Testimony-- when eg witnesses testify to a murder in NY and other witnesses come stating that the 1st witnesses were with them in Chicago at the time of witnessing--thus the murder testimony is totally removed from the real word EXAMPLE - Y-D, Z-R-A -- hand/arm Throw Dt18-03c ----------------------------------------------- - Y-D means HAND and TO THROW - Z-R-A means ARM and TO THROW/SCATTER (as in SEEDING a field) EXAMPLE - Dt20-05a Gn14-14b Ch-N-K=MOLD FOR YOUR OWN USE -------------------------------------------------- - Hence Pr22-06 TRAIN a child according to his own method - Hence Gn14-14 Abraham took his TRAINEES with him - Hence Dt20-05 BREAK/CONSECRATE a new house All these verses have a unifying theme of MOLDING SOMETHING FOR YOUR OWN USE. This concept can apply equally to - PEOPLE -- so CHNCH can mean to TRAIN - OBJECT -- so CHNCH can mean to BREAK / CONSECRATE a new house | ||

*1 Also Rashi Dt11-25b. It seems reasonable that - P-Ch-D comes from Poh-Chad - SHARP and would refer to e.g. getting GOOSE PIMPLES (Sharpnesses in skin) from fear - MoRaH comes from Y-R-A = vision = LONG TERM apprehension over the future.*10 *2 - YOREH seems to comes from HRH to make pregnant. It would look at the rain as ENABLING the seeds to grow - MALKOSH seesm to come from LKSH - TO THE HARD(KSH) GRAIN and would refer to a final softening rain before the produce. See LIST910i *11 *3 It is hard to absolutely prove that - A-V-H means FANTASIZE vs - Ch-M-D means DESIRE ACQUISITION The verses show that - A-V-H is an act of the HEART while - Ch-M-D is focused on ACQUIRING OBJECTS See LIST955h for further details (Also see Rashi Gn27-15a Gn03-06c Gn03-06d) *4 On Dt19-16a Rashi gives an example of REMOVED/FABRICATED Testimony--when eg witnesses testify to a murder in NY and other witnesses come stating that the 1st witnesses were with them in Chicago at the time of witnessing--thus the murder testimony is totally removed from the real word | ||||

*10 The reader need NOT believe the above etymologies For frequently Rashi explains synonyms without reference to etymologies and even without reference to verses. However some of the above etymologies seem reasonable and may enrich our appreciation of the synonyms. *11 Rashi gives another etymology from the Aramaic. However in this list we advocate the 2nd explanation of Rashi over the 1st. Furthermore in this particular case the 2nd explanation comes internally from Hebrew while the 1st Rashi explanation INFERS usage from Aramaic but does not EXPLAIN it. |
