SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the explanation of word meaning
the same way a dictionary explains word meaning. One powerful method
of word meaning is METONOMY which explains the meaning of a word
by a RELATED CONCEPT. For example AMERICANS (The people) are named
after AMERICA (The land).

EXAMPLE: Gn03-24a Gn02-08a Gn11-02a Gn12-08b Gn13-11b Gn02-14d
Gn04-16c Nu24-15a Ex27-13b Nu02-03a
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you face the sun then the positions of your body are RELATED
to the 4 compass positions.
- your FACE, faces EASTWARD
- your BACK, faces, WESTWARD
- your RIGHT, faces, SOUTHWARD
Hence the words FACE, BACK, RIGHT refer to EAST, WEST, SOUTH
respectively. In a similar manner BEFORE refers to EAST since the
SUN touches the EAST before it touches any other position.

Rashi further explains the various CONJUGATIONS of BEFORE.
- FROM BEFORE = outside on the east
- BEFORE + Hebrew Tauv = East of
- BEFORE EAST = EAST EAST = EasternMost

POSITION NAME SAMPLE VERSE TEXT OF VERSE
EAST BEFORE/FACE Ex27-13*1 The EASTERN side
WEST AFTER/BACK Jo02-20*1 The WESTERN SEA
SOUTH RIGHT So04-16 Arouse North & come SOUTH
COMMENTS
*1 Particularly strong proofs come from verses which mention
opposite directions. For example we have
-------------------------------------------------------------
Joel 2:20 Its start to the EAST SEA & its end to the WEST SEA
-------------------------------------------------------------
or
--------------------------------------------------------------
Job 23:8 I cant find God in the EAST or search for him in WEST
--------------------------------------------------------------

The words for EAST and WEST in these 2 verses are FACE & BACK.
These contrasts lend credibility to our thesis*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 The verses for these correspondences are presented by the
Radak in his book of roots.
