VERSE: Dt24-06b

RASHIS COVERED: Dt24-06b Dt24-06a

===================== RACHAYIM=Grinder;RECEV=Top Stone ==========

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis tasks is to explain the meaning of words the
same way a dictionary does.  One method of explaining words
is to distinguish the meaning of synonyms. Dt24-06 refers
to RAYCHAYIM and RECEV. There are 4 other verses with the
word RAYCHAYIM--they refer to GRINDING FLOUR--hence we infer
that RAYCHAYIM is a GRINDING set. This is an inference based
on SIMILAR verses with that word. The Hebrew root RECEV means
to RIDE. If we combine RIDE with GRINDSTONES we could suggest
that RECEV refers to the TOP grindstone(That rides on the
bottom one).We use here the method of ROOT MEANING.

RASHI SUBRULE USED:             METHODS OF INFERENCE
------------------------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RULE
-------------------------
In inferring meaning Rashi uses about a dozen techniques
They include Looking up similar verses, reviewing meanings
of roots, seeking expert advice, etc. These methods allow
us to infer meanings of new unknown words

SEARCH QUERY
------------
*-Resh-Cheth-Yud-Mem OR *-Resh-Caph-Beth

TODAYS LIST
-----------
We list all verses where RAYCHAYIM occurs. This allows
inference from OTHER VERSES. THe meaning of RECEV is inferred
from the ROOT.

VERSE      TEXT OF VERSE WITH GRINDER
========== =====================================================
Isa47-02   Take a GRINDER, GRIND flour*1
Nu11-08    grind seeds in GRINDER*2
Jer25-10   the sound of GRINDERS*3
Ex11-05    The bondmaid who hangs out by the GRINDER*4
Dt24-06    dont take as surety GRINDSTONES or RIDERS*5

NOTES
-----
*1 This verse explicitly states that RAYCHAYIM is used to
   GRIND FLOWER

*2 This verse explicitly states that RAYCHAYIM is used to
   GRIND SEEDS

*3 This verse explicitly states that RAYCHAYIM is
   connected with NOISY work

*4 This verse describes the RAYCHAYIM as a menial task
   performed by maids

*5 Since the ROOT RECEV means to RIDE it seems reasonable
   to interpret RECEV as the TOP GRINDSTONE that RIDES
   on the BOTTOM GRINDSTONE.

   The word RACHAYIM would then either refer to the
   whole set of GRINDSTONES or more specifically to the
   BOTTOM ONE.
