VERSE: Dt31-17a

======== GODS SEES - GOD SAVES :: GOD HIDES - GOD DESTROYS =====

BACKGROUND
----------
It is well known that God is Incoporeal. However the Bible
uses Coporeal metaphors to describe Gods behavior.  We
therefore need methods to determine what Coporeal metaphors mean

THE TEXT
--------
Many texts speak about God SEEING, HEARING, LISTENING to
suffering. Dt31-17 speaks about God HIDING his Face

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi uses a method of Parallelism. If
- Seeing, Hearing Listening       means    God saves/helps
- then
- Hiding ones face                means    God destroys
In other words OPPOSITES(See-Hide) indicate
OPPOSITES(save-destroy)

THE LIST
--------
Thus Rashi is Simple. Here is the LIST.
=================================================================
VERSE      Text of Verse: SEE means SAVE::HIDE means DESTROY
========== ======================================================
Gn29-32    She named him SeeSufering because God SAW my suffering
