SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain Grammar the same way modern Hebrew books explain grammar. We call this the Rashi rule of GRAMMAR. Certain parts of grammar deal with INDIVIDUAL words--for example the rules of VERB CONJUGATIONS or PLURALITY based on GENDER. Other rules of Grammar deal with groups of words or even the whole sentence. Today we study cases where a sentence is better understood thru a rearrangement of the word order. We call this the RASHI SUBRULE of REARRANGEMENTS. EXAMPLE Gn39-17a ---------------- The Biblical text at Gn39-17a states ------------------------------------------------ The slave who you brought to play with me CAME TO ME ------------------------------------------------ Rashi comments -------------------------------------- The verse should be read - - - - - - - - - - - - - The slave who you brought CAME TO ME to play with me - - - - - - - - - - - - - -------------------------------------- Here Rashi uses the rule of REARRANGEMENT There is also some adult humor here..It is almost as if she says to her husband --you knew what he is like...did you --plan this so you could avenge me and --show how masculine you are. Rashi in other contexts also portrays Potifars wife as a shrew who knew how to tease. LIST076a below gives other Rashis whose principle is REARRANGEMENT | ||

She in effect said --------------------------------------------------------- You knew his obsession with his appearance. You gave him power.
