*2 Ex16-20b
*3 Ex19-12a
*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
means make them embroidered
*5 Nu04-13b, Ex27-03b
*6 Lv17-04a
*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
- DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
See LIST814a for more details
*8 Ex05-07a Ex05-07b
*9 Dt04-34a (Has any gOD MADE MIRACLES the way Your
God has ...)

LONGER FOOTNOTES
|
*10
We present 3 methods by which OBJECTS (Nouns) acquire
ACTIVITY (verb) meaning
- eg To RECORD = to CREATE a RECORD
- eg To DUST = to REMOVE dust
- eg To HAMMER = do STANDARD ACTIVITY of hammar
*11 Dt24-21a -- the Bible is using Metonomy here--it is
naming part of a tree (the TOP) by an attribute
strongly associated with it (the BEAUTY of the tree)
See LIST871d
*12 Dt24-20a. There are two aspects to the derivation
- First YOUNG people are identified with YOUNG plants
- Second: We are prohibited to YOUNG them=REMOVE them
Finally Rashi shows how the oral law interacts with
Biblical nuances--Rashi cites the definitions of
YOUNG vs OLD-MATURE grape
- a MATURE grape is a grape that either
- - belongs to a GRAPE CLUSTER(drooping attachments
from a main vine) OR
- - belong to a STICK--bundled grapes one on top
of another attached to a branch.
*13 Gn01-11b
