SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning EXAMPLE Naming words by VERB-NOUN transformations Dt24-20a Dt24-21a ------------------------------------------------- - To YOUNG = remove young grapes - To BEAUTY = to remove TREE TOP EXAMPLE METONOMY Things named by related properties Dt24-21a --------------------------------------------------- The trees BEAUTY=its TOP EXAMPLE Emphasizing nuances of synonym pairs Dt28-63b ----------------------------------------------------- - KRT=To Cut off - AQR = To UPROOT - NSX = To DRAG EXAMPLE Presenting a unified theme to a root Dt23-18a Dt23-18b -------------------------------------------- KD$ means FORMAL. Hence it can refer to - INVITATIONS to an important formal event - the formal HOLINESS procedures in the Temple - prostitutes--women who keep themselves in FORMAL attire for clients | ||

*1 This root occurs very infrequently We have - Lv15-03a oozing (RR) of sexual secretions - 1S21-14 (Spittle) - Jb06-06(Oozing of plants or spittle) *2 Thus YQTziA doesnt just refer to ANY CUTTING but rather to SANDPAPERING. Hence this root can also refer to CORNERS and EDGES (which get their distinctness from being SANDPAPERED) *3 I used an English analogy. Actually TNUR vs CIRaYIM seem to refer to a ONE-burner vs a TWO-Burner hot plate. I am not actually sure on all details*10 *4 Both of these are pots. One is shallow--the type used for frying. The other is deep--the type used for rich cooking*10 *5 These are two shades of white. I dont know if analogies exist in English (CLOUD-WHITE or SNOW-WHITE vs MARBLE WHITE)*10 *6 I dont believe English has technical terms for the TOP vs the Bottom grindstone*10 *7 Again there are no English words. The Kaph-Vuv-Resh refers to a VAT that can hold about 200 Gallons By contrast the Kaph-Yud-Vuv-Resh refers to a hugh TANK of water with faucet holes. This TANK was used to wash hands and legs in the temple (The water sprinkled out of the holes and washed the person) *8 HAY only occurs twice in the Bible (The other occurence is at Ez16-43). The difference between HAY and HINAY seems to be that - You use HINAY (HERE) when the object you are giving is actually there - You use HAY (HERE) when the object you are giving is not necessarily physically there but accessible. Hence since Joseph said HERE, I AM GIVING YOU SEED, and was referring to SEED he possessed (but not seed that he had immediately before him) we use the word HAY not HINAY. (This suggested difference is conjectural; there are verses with Hinay that would seem to contradict it--if so HAY and HINAY would simply be two synonyms with the same meaning) *9 So eg REPRODUCE and INSECTIFY both have the same basic meaning of HAVING CHILDREN. But INSECTIFY has the added nuance of having MANY CHILDREN | ||||

*10 I believe Rashis basic thrust in all these verses is explaining items that are ALMOST similar in meaning but have some subtle nuance (Like STOVE OVEN). However Rashi goes further and gives etymologies of some of these words eg - SeAyTh = CLOUD WHITE (From NaSiH=cloud) - MaChaVath= FRYING PAN (Has a rim that HIDES(Cheth-Bet) - MaRCheSeth= Deep Cooking Pan(food BUBBLES (RaChSh)) - RCV=Top Grindstone that RIDES(RCV) on the other grindstone There are more etymologies; some of these have been discussed elsewhere. I believe these are the basic ones. *11 Rashi-s actual language is ----------------------------------------- S-R-Tz means to have 6 children at a time ----------------------------------------- The number 6 has sent the Rashi commentators into a frenzy. Some Rashi commentators derive the number 6 from the 6 verbs in Ex01-07 - (1) The Jews REPRODUCED - (2) and INSECTIFIED - (3) and MULTIPLIED - (4) and became HUMONGOUS - (5) ALOT - (6) ALOT However a simpler approach to Rashi is the following - The word INSECTIFY means HAVE CHILDREN LIKE INSECTS - So INSECTIFY means HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS YOU CAN - But the maxmimum children a woman can have is 6 - So Rashi-is-Simple *12 e.g. Gn15-12 Abraham had ANXIETY on the vision of what would happen to him over the next 400 years vs. Dt28-66 You will FEAR Day and NIGHT. (It is hard to prove exact nuances from the verses--it may be more precise to state that AYMAH is NON-SPECIFIC ANXIETY while PACHAD is SPECIFIC FEAR. This would be consistent with the etymology of AYMAH = AY MAH = WHERE IS IT? WHAT WILL HAPPEN -- that is, ANXIETY is a state of excessive concern on what will happen without being specific.) |
