VERSE: Dt13-19a

=============== PHRASE IDIOMS ==================================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY:
-------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is the explanation of
word meaning similar to a dictionary. There are
however many ways in which to explain meaning.
Sometimes Rashi simply explains the meaning of an
unknown WORD. Sometimes however Rashi will explain
the meaning of a PHRASE. Each word in the phrase may
have a clear meaning while the phrase as a whole has
a NEW MEANING not related to its words. Dt13-19a
gives an example: The literal text is CRAWLING BIRDS
Rashi translates this as INSECTS

-----------------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE:              WORD MEANING
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:           PHRASE MEANING
-----------------------------------------------


STANDARD REFERENCES
-------------------
The RashiYomi dictionary page:http://www.RashiYomi.com/words.htm


STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
In Gn21-12a God tells Abraham
 --------------------------------------------
 Hear the voice of Sarah in all she tells you
 --------------------------------------------

STANDARD EXERCISES
------------------
-- What does the capped phrase HEAR THE VOICE mean
-- Can you find other verses with this usage

RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
- RASHI: HEAR THE VOICE means OBEY

- There are numerous other verses with this usage as in
  Dt08-20 Dt15-05. For a possible counterexample examine
  Nu21-03

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR (HOME) SCHOOLING PROJECTS
----------------------------------------------------
You can use the lists below for school projects.
Here is how. You can present the LITERAL BIBLICAL TEXT
in the lists below to students and ask them to do 2 exercises

-- Let them try and guess from context what the phrase means
-- using a Konkordance or search engine let them try &
   find other examples (or counterexamples)

The students solution can then be compared with Rashis. This
leads to greater appreciation of Rashi.

TODAYS LIST
-----------
The list below contains a dozen or so Rashis that give
the meaning of a phrase. The literal Biblical text and the
New meaning are both presented. Footnotes provide other
Rashis which state the same thing as well as give further
clarifications. The verse can be used to look up the posting
on the Rashi website. E.g. The Rashi on Dt13-19a is found
at http://www.RashiYomi.com/dt13-19a.htm (Lower case)
================================================================
VERSE     LITERAL TEXT     NEW MEANING OF PHRASE
========= ================ =====================================
Dt13-19a  Crawling Birds   Insects
Dt05-07a  On the face of   During the lifetime *1
Gn17-17a  Fall on face     Movement frozen *2
Gn18-05a  Found your heart Eat a good meal
Gn18-05c  Because on this  (Social) Cause *3
Gn18-22b  Stand before God Prophecy
Gn21-12a  Hear her voice   Obey her
Gn22-05a  Until Thus       Until a prophecy*4
Gn47-18c  Dont..except     Affirmation *5
Gn47-29a  I-m near to die  Premature death
Gn47-30a  Lie with fathers Death
Ex21-29a  yesterday&3 days habitually
Gn50-21a  speak on heart   speak soothingly
Gn47-29a  true & kind      non-reciprocated favor

NOTES
-----
*1 Nu03-04a Gn11-28a Ex20-03c Dt05-07a

*2 So FALL ON FACE refers either to
   - AWE (As in a prophetic experience)
   - Depression

   See also Gn17-03a Nu16-04a Nu24-04a

*3 See also Gn18-05d. To clarify this

   - if I strike a match I PHYSICALLY cause a fire
   - a birthday SOCIALLY causes a party

*4 See also Ex07-16a.

   This Rashi appears wild--but surprisingly
   UNTIL THUS only occurs 5 times in the Bible
   And it always refers to waiting till a prophecy
   happens!! See the posting for the juicy details

*5 Gn47-18c Gn43-03b
   In English we also have the double negative
   In Biblical Hebrew the double negative denotes
   an emphasisof NO EXCEPTIONS
