VERSE: Dt24-19a

======================== Dt24-19a ============================

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.

----------------------------------------------
The NAMING BY VERSE submethod seeks to understand
the nuances of a word by examining verses that
use that word.
-----------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE Dt24-19
---------------
Dt24-19b states
---------------------------------------
If when you harvest
you forget a bundle [OMER] in the field
then dont return to take it
...rather leave it for the sojourner...
---------------------------------------

Rashi (paraphrased) comments
---------------------------------------
As can be seen from the list below
the normal word for harvested bundle is [GADISH]
The word [OMER] refers to a small bundle.
This nuance shows that the law of leaving the
forgotten bundle only applies to small bundles
not to normal harvest bundles (The list of verses, not
presented by Rashi, is given below)
---------------------------------------

In the following verses the word for bundle is [Gadish]
-------------------------------------------------------
Ju15-05 He burned all GADISH and ....
Ex22-05 If a fire burns a GADISH
Jb05-26 May you die in maturity like a ripe GADISH
Jb21-32 The wicked will have burial;guarded like a GADISH
---------------------------------------------------------

By contrast the following verses indicate small portions
(portions for starving or for one-day consumption)
---------------------------------------------------------
Jb24-10 The starving steal an OMER
Ex16-16 each person EATS one OMER volume perday
Dt24-19 if you forget an OMER of grain in the field
Lv23-10 Bring an OMER of new grain to God
Ru02-07 Farmers harvest OMER from which poor take
---------------------------------------------------------

NOTES
-----

*1 The connotations of GADISH in these verses are BIG BUNDLES

*2 The connotations of GADISH in these verses are SMALL
   BUNDLES--e.g. the bundles eaten by starving people or
   rations for one day or the small token we bring to God
   when we first harvest.

   Consistent with this nuance is the idea that the law
   that forgotten sheaves are left for the poor only
   applies to small bundles that are forgotten, not to
   big bundles (Rashi Dt24-19a)
