      2. RASHI METHOD: WORD MEANING
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: The meaning of words can be explained either by
      • (2a) translating an idiom, a group of words whose collective meaning transcends the meaning of its individual component words,
      • (2b) explaining the nuances and commonality of synonyms-homographs,
      • (2c) describing the usages of connective words like also,because,if-then, when,
      • (2d) indicating how grammatical conjugation can change word meaning
      • (2e) changing word meaning using the figures of speech common to all languages such as irony and oxymorons.
      This examples applies to Rashis Lv13-55b

      Brief Summary: TURN ITS APPEARANCE = fade

    An idiom is a collection of words which means more than the sum of the meanings of each of the phrases' individual words. Verse Lv13-55b discussing appareil leprosy states And the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague has not changed its appearance [faded], and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without. Rashi explains: The phrase(s) changed its appearance is an idiom meaning faded. As can be seen from the underlined words the Rashi comment is compactly and explicitly combined in the translation of the Biblical text.
