Although there are 40 Rashis there are 4 simple rules. RULE: The Hebrew word "ALL"(KL)indicates that there are no exceptions and that what is being discussed should take place in ALL circumstances---EVEN those you wouldn't ordinarily think of.There are 4 methods by which the interpretation of ALL is implemented. ALL can indicate (A) cases you wouldn't ordinarily think of EXAMPLE:Gn06-12a "ALL Flesh corrupted" RASHI: EVEN Animals corrupted (B) it can indicate that there are no exceptions or (C) it can refer even to mixtures or (D) it can emphasize not to exclude "obvious exceptions" In this particular issue we complete the examples where ALL means EVEN CASES YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF. We include some exotic cases. #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# EXAMPLE 12: Gn43-09b -------------------- Judah is speaking to Jacob who did not want to let Binyamin journey to visit Joseph lest an accident happen. Judah volunteers for the assignment saying if anything happens it will be my responsibility >Gn43-09b "I will be in sin again you ALL days >RASHI: "ALL days"---EVEN in the next world EXAMPLE 13: Nu14-01a -------------------- The Torah is discussing the incident of the spies. Recall that the Jews believed the spies and doubted God could help them conquer Israel. >Nu14-01 "& the WHOLE community cried" >RASHI: "the WHOLE community"--EVEN the leaders (who should have known better)--EVEN the Judges and leaders of parliament We will complete this unit next time with 2-3 more Rashis of this type as well as answers to all outstanding exercises. #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
