VERSE: Dt24-17b

RASHIS COVERED: Dt24-17b Dt25-19a

========================== Dt24-17b ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main methods is the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this
the WORD MEANING method.

----------------------------------------------
Rashi had 10 vehicles to explain meaning. The SYNONYM
submethod takes words with known meanings and shows the
similarity and nuances in each term.
----------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 1: Dt25-19a
-------------------
Dt25-19a
-------------------------------------------------
You should ERASE the memory of AMALYK
from under heaven
---------------------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the contrast that many words
are used for CONQUEST such as HITTING, CONQUERING,
INHERITING and ERASING.
-----------------------------------
ERASE indicates total destruction-no woman
animal or booty remains. This is further
confirmed by the explicit order to this
effect at 1S15-03
-----------------------------------

EXAMPLE 2: Dt24-17b
-------------------
Dt24-17b is translated
-----------------------------------
Don't STRING the garment of a widow
-----------------------------------

From context we can infer that the word
STRING means TAKE AS COLLATERAL. Rashi
contrasts the word STRING with other
words indicating COLLATERAL in Hebrew
--------------------------------------
- COLLATERAL generally refers to COLLATERAL
  taken at the time of loan
- STRING refers to ADDING STRINGS after the
  time of the loan
--------------------------------------

Note the analogy with the English metaphor
NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi does not indicate how he knows that the
   cutoff point for ram vs sheep is 2 years.
   - Perhaps this is general knowledge which shepards
   know (That maturation takes places at two)
   - Supportive verses show that a one year old
   is still considered a sheep (Eg Ex12-05)

*2 Also Lv07-34a See LIST955p for an analysis
   of verses with WAIVE vs OSCILLATE

*3 Cf. 1S15-03 where the explicit order to totally
   exterminate Amalayk was given

*4 There are many words for conquer: CONQUEST, SUBDUE,
   SMITE, WAR, etc. Our point here is to emphasize that
   ERASE means REMOVE ALL MEMORY.

*5 Cf. The English metaphor "No strings attached."
