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. Those who wish to peek ahead at a more in depth discussion should visit the following urls http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h7n25.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h8n1.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------- In the following verses >AYIN-VUV-YUD< denotes >STILL<--CONTINUATION IN TIME EXAMPLE: Gn29-07a says >The day is STILL big<. In other words >the day is BIG(long) now< and >the day will be BIG AGAIN< and >the day will be big AGAIN<. Thus >STILL< denotes >AGAIN and AGAIN< in time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* NEW RASHIS: All 6 Rashis are new VERSE TEXT OF VERSE WITH THE WORD >STILL< ======== ==================================== Gn08-22a The season cycle will STILL exist*1 Gn29-07a the day is STILL big*2 Ex02-03a she couldn't STILL hide him*3 Lv25-51a if there are STILL more years*4 Ex17-04a STILL a little & they will stone me*5 Gn46-29c And he STILL cried*6 NOTES ===== *1 (Rashi) Despite the flood the world will still have 6 seasons every year. *2 (Rashi) Whether you are self employed or work for someone else it is not yet time to rest since the day is STILL big I suppose the point of this Rashi is how Jacob made a conversation opener. Jacobs statement could be seen as an attempt to >HELP< them (>You can earn alot more<). It could also be an attempt to show theft (>You are depriving your employers of needed work<). By being ambiguous Jacob did not yet play his cards since he didn't know whom he was dealing with. Ambiguity is essential in a coversation opener. *3 Rashi gives a reason why she couldn't hide him: If Moses was born at 6 months then his mother could hide him for 3 months since no one expected a baby yet. But at 9 months she could no longer hide him. *4 Rashi simply shows the conputation for the >STRAIGHT LINE< method. REDEMPTION of workers slaves and fields is strictly proportional to the number of years left to the Jubilee. *5 >STILL a LITTLE< means >IN A LITTLE BIT< and is a idiom with a special meaning. *6 Rashi explicitly states that >There was ALOT of crying< #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
