OVERVIEW
========
In this module we study the meaning of the word AGAIN
The Hebrew word >Ayin-Vuv-Daled< means >AGAIN<; it does not
mean >MORE<. Since this word means >AGAIN< it follows that we
should always seek out >WHEN ELSE< what is being spoken about
happened.
TYPICAL EXAMPLE
===============
For example Gn07-04b says >And I (GOD) will AGAIN give man
7 days to repent before bringing the flood<. The word >AGAIN<
in fact refers to Gn06-03: >I will give man 120 years to
repent< Thus indeed God gave man 2 time periods to repent
and hence the word >AGAIN<
This example shows our approach: We will bring a verse with
AGAIN and then show some other verse that this AGAIN refers
to.

----------------------------------------------------------------
In the following verses
>AYIN-VUV-YUD< denotes >REPETITION< vs >MORE< or >ANYMORE<.
EXAMPLE: Gn08-10 and Gn08-12 says that >Noach waited AGAIN
7 days before sending out the Dove to see if water had
disappeared< Rashi says the emphasis is on REPETITION:
>Just as Noach waited 7 days for the 2nd and 3rd sending so
too did he wait 7 days at the 1st sending<

EXAMPLES: NEW RASHIS: Gn29-30a Dt31-02a
EXAMPLE 13:
===========
Gn08-08a Waited 7 days AGAIN*1 waiting 7 days
*1 Noach waited 7 days before the 2nd and 3rd sending of the
Dove (Gn08-10, Gn08-12). We infer he waited 7 days for
the first sending of the dove (>He waited AGAIN<)
EXAMPLE 14:
===========
Gn07-04b Ill AGAIN give 7 days to repent 2 chances to repent*2
*2 Thus Gn06-03 says that man was given 120 years to repent
before the flood. Gn07-04 says that man was AGAIN given time
to repent (another 7 days) (These interpretations are
according to Rashi)
EXAMPLE:
Gn29-30a Jacob will work 7 years AGAIN*3 Double crossed again
*3 Jacob was double crossed on his pay for his 1st seven years
of work for Laban (Gn29-25). We infer that Jacob was double
crossed in his second set of 7 years of work This is
explicitly stated in Gn31-07
EXAMPLE:
Dt31-02a I can't go out AGAIN (To war)*4 Moses won several wars
*4 Moses had successfully (with Gods help) won several wars
(Cf Dt02 and Dt03). Dt31 clearly states that Joshua will now
lead the people. We infer that Moses could not lead
the people in war >AGAIN< since Joshua will(cf Dt31-03:04)
