      3. RASHI METHOD: GRAMMAR
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi explains verses using grammar principles, that is, rules which relate reproducable word form to word meaning. Grammatical rules neatly fall into 3 categories
      • (a) the rules governing conjugation of individual words,Biblical roots,
      • (b) the rules governing collections of words,clauses, sentences
      • (c) miscellaneous grammatical, or form-meaning, rules.
      This examples applies to Rashis Nu32-14a

      Brief Summary: Your request for the Transjordan is a JUST-ONE-MORE time argument.

    Nouns can become verbs in 3 ways
  • to flower - That is, to create flowers
  • to dust - That is, to remove the dust
  • to hammer - That is, to use, in a traditional manner, the hammer.

Hence from the word end we could obtain a verb meaning just one more time, this is the end. This is similar to English usage.

    Here are some examples of this interpretation:
  • Verse Nu32-14a describing the response by Moses to the request of 2.5 tribes not to go to Israel but to inherit the conquered land in the wilderness states - And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, with just one more time, this is the last one, which will raise the fierce anger of HaShem toward Israel.
  • Verse Jr07-21:22 describing the hypocritical use of sacrifices states Thus saith HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel: Add only one more burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh. For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;
  • Verse Is29-01 describing the hypocritical use of sacrifices states Woe, Ariel, Ariel [the Temple/altar], the city where David encamped! "just one more year" [to get rid of the hypocrisy in the sacrifices] let the feasts come round!
