VERSE: Dt32-22a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt32-22a Dt29-27a Dt32-24d Dt32-32b
                Dt28-68a Dt28-63b

============================= Dt32-22a ==========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY:
-----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain meaning the same way
the dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety of methods
to explain meaning

EXAMPLE: Inferring meaning from other verses
--------------------------------------------
- Root NT$ = to YANK/UPROOT (Dt2-27a)
- Root Q@B = Destructive (Dt32-24d)
- Root NSX = Uproot (Dt28-63b)

EXAMPLE: Presenting a UNIFIED MEANING to a Biblical root
--------------------------------------------------------
- Root QDX = sparks. Hence (Dt32-22a)
---- QDX = SPARKling stone (Similarity of appearance)
---- QDX = THROBBING pain/sickness(Similarity of feeling)

EXAMPLE: Presenting SYNONYM pairs
---------------------------------
- ANIH = boat = SFINH (Dt28-68a)

NOTE: SFINH occurs ONCE in the Bible while
      ANIH occurs about 3 dozen times.
In Talmudic Hebrew however, SPINH is the more common
term. Hence Rashi, when explaining that ANIH=SFINH
is responding to frequency of occurrence in his own time.

EXAMPLE: Use of the 2 Letter Root Theory
----------------------------------------
- $DM(Valley) = Source(M) of Fields($DH) (Dt32-32b)

Dt32-22a a bitter DESTRUCTION
Is28-02  a torrential hail; a DESTRUCTIVE storm
Ho13-14  ...the CUTOFF of Hell
P091-06  from a DESTRUCTION that plunders the afternoon

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi actually translates Q@B as RELATING TO CUT OFF
   But examination of the verses shows that the precise
   meaning is DESTRUCTION*1

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------

*10 On Dt32-22a Rashi states
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Q@B means DESTRUCTION
    BITTER Q@B means PLUNDEROUS DESTRUCTION called bitterness
    --------------------------------------------------------

    Rashi can be misread by translating the Hebrew word $D
    as DEMON vs DESTRUCTIVENESS.

    However my more rational translation of Rashi can be
    defended by
    - observing the use of the word PLUNDER in P091-06
    - observing the use of the word BITTER in Ru01-20

    Thus we see that PLUNDEROUS DESTRUCTION can be
    called BITTER and hence Rashi translates
    BITTER DESTRUCTION as a TOTALLY PLUNDEROUS DESTRUCTION

*11 We use COmputer ASCII Notation for Hebrew
    Q = Kuph
    @ = Teth because @=aT ends in T=Tet

-----
*1 YANK-WATCH is a coined idiom. The commentaries debate what
   it means. Some translate it as
   ----------------------------------------------
   punish with DEATH those who violate the Temple
   ----------------------------------------------

   I would however more simply translate it as
   -------------------------------------------
   Watch the Temple--and YANK away trespassers

Dt11-14d MLK$   RAIN*2     FINAL rain-SOFTENS Ground
-------  -----  ------      ----------------------


NOTES
-----
*1 Also Rashi Dt11-25b. It seems reasonable that
   - P-Ch-D comes from Poh-Chad - SHARP and would refer to
   e.g. getting GOOSE PIMPLES (Sharpnesses in skin) from
   fear

   - MoRaH comes from Y-R-A = vision = LONG TERM
   apprehension over the future.*10


*2 - YOREH seems to comes from HRH to make pregnant. It
   would look at the rain as ENABLING the seeds to grow

   - MALKOSH seesm to come from LKSH - TO THE HARD(KSH)
   GRAIN and would refer to a final softening rain
   before the produce. See LIST910i *11


*3 It is hard to absolutely prove that
   - A-V-H means FANTASIZE vs
   - Ch-M-D means DESIRE ACQUISITION

   The verses show that
   - A-V-H is an act of the HEART while
   - Ch-M-D is focused on ACQUIRING OBJECTS
   See LIST955h for further details
   (Also see Rashi Gn27-15a Gn03-06c Gn03-06d)

*4 On Dt19-16a Rashi gives an example of REMOVED/FABRICATED
   Testimony--when eg witnesses testify to a murder in NY
   and other witnesses come stating that the 1st witnesses
   were with them in Chicago at the time of witnessing--thus
   the murder testimony is totally removed from the real word

*5 Undoubtedly there is probably a subtle difference between
   ANIH/SFINH but it is not possible to determine this from
   verses. An interesting statistical note is the following
   - SFINH occurs ONCE in the  Bible
   - ANIH occurs 3 dozen times in the Bible
   - But in Biblical times the frequencies were reversed
   Hence, Rashi, in explaining the more frequently occurring
   ANIH was responding to the rarity of this word IN HIS TIME

--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ----------------

*10 The reader need NOT believe the above etymologies
    For frequently Rashi explains synonyms without
    reference to etymologies and even without reference
    to verses. However some of the above etymologies seem
    reasonable and may enrich our appreciation of the
    synonyms.


*11 Rashi gives another etymology from the Aramaic.
    However in this list we advocate the 2nd explanation
    of Rashi over the 1st. Furthermore in this
    particular case the 2nd explanation comes internally
    from Hebrew while the 1st Rashi explanation INFERS
    usage from Aramaic but does not EXPLAIN it.

NOTES
-----
*1 The original meaning of the word Q-W-M is to
   AWAKE. From this it means STAND UP. When applied
   to inanimate objects it refers to a vertical standing

*2 Demons in dreams often appear with HORNS Hence
   it is reasonable to call them GOATS

*3 This root seems to be very controversial.
   For example some people (Radack cites them) suggest
   that the root is Zayin-Nun (WEAPON) with an added
   prefix of Aleph.

   Hence Rav Hirsch suggests that the etymology is
   PERSONAL (ALEPH) WEAPONS.

   I would simply say that the UTENSIL BELT with
   hanging cases on both sides looks like 2 ears
   on a head. Thus the meaning is based on FORM.*10



*4 The verse literally is translated as follows
   ----------------------------------------------
   So they (The Kehatites) shall not come
   and look as the holy (objects) are being packed
   -----------------------------------------------

   For possible further examples see footnote *11

*5 cf these verses showing that LOZ means TWISTED
   or DEVIANT Pr03-21, Pr03-33,Pr02-15. (Rashi
   cites the French name of these trees)


*6 The Hebrew root Resh-Beth-Dalet means
   - Necklace(Gn41-42c, Ez16-11)
   - Quilt(Pr07-16, Pr31-21)
   These are the only 4 occurences in the Bible.

   Both NECKLACES and QUILTS have the FORM of
   LINKED CIRCULAR items.*12


*7 The root GIMEL-BETH can mean PUDDLE or HIGH (Puddles
   are HIGH spots on the ground). I think the HAIR on
   a persons head and the LINT on a new wool garment
   resemble a PUDDLE OF HAIR LIKE PROTRUSIONS. Again
   the emphasis is on naming by form. *13


*8 A BOARD = a BARKLESS tree log looks like a PALE person
   (BARK on wood is like RUDDINESS on face)

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ----------------

*10 To be fair Rashi explains TWO words in this verse
    - The Hebrew Aleph-Zayin-Nun means WEAPON
    - The Hebrew AL which usually means ON can also
      mean BESIDES.

      For the 6 meanings of AL see
      http://www.RashiYomi.com/al-5.htm

      Or visit the Rashi word page,
      http://www.RashiYomi.com/words.htm


*11 Radack in his book, Biblical roots, lists 3 meanings
   -------------------------------------------------
   a) SWALLOW as in Jr51-34--He SWALLOWED me like a
      Crockodile

   b) DESTROY as in La02-02 - God has DESTROYED, without
      mercy

   c) HIDE/PACK as in Nu04-20
   -------------------------------------------------

   It is debatable whether there are other verses
   illustrating this meaning of HIDE. Radack suggests
   Jb27-30 and Jb10-08. I would say Is19-03---
   ------------------------------
   God will HIDE (conceal) their advice
   ------------------------------
   the metaphor of HIDING ADVICE is similar to the tone
   at 2S15-31.

   Suffice it to say that there is much controversy
   on all the proper meaning of all these verses. However
   our translation of Nu04-20 seems to be standard

*12 One subtle point about seductresses using quilts:
    The quilt is both a COVER and an EXPOSURE (because
    of the many air spaces in the quilt). Hence
    a seductress COVERED with a quilt also EXPOSES herself
    (and thereby seduces).


*13 It has come to my attention that we have several lists
    on meaning by FORM. Namely
    --------------------------------------------------
    LIST     VOLUME #  NUMBER #  ITEM NAMED BY FORM
    -------- --------- --------- ---------------------
    LIST804a Volume 16 Number 22 NOUNS named by form

    LIST810b Volume 21 Number 15 NOUNS named by Form
    LIST813a Volume 20 Number 9  NOUNS named by Form

    We hope to consolidate these in the near future.

NOTES
-----
*1 Nu11-07 shows that GD was perceived as a sweet seed

*2 In some of these examples the M+ROOT and the ROOT
have the same meaning (in other words we have lost
knowledge of the nuances differentiating them).

Thus we could also say ARH=CURSE; MAR=SOURCE OF CURSES
and there would be no real difference between them.
However based on Rashi we would take MAR as the type of
pain you have when you pluck out a thorn (this would tie
in nicely with the skin disease, TZARATH).


*3 That is laws hold over the domain of the municipality
(Outside the municipality they do not hold)

*4 That is the dew creates the "pussy like" texture in the
morning

*5 This etymology, MLCh = MoLiCh (KING=The Walker) is due to
Rav Hirsch who sees the King as LEADING (=walking!!!) the
people and guiding them.

*6 That is the MTzuDaH is the source or hangout from which
you can hunt (it wouldn't exactly be a cave but rather an
ambush grounds)

*7 There is an element of poetic lisence in some of these
etymologies. For example THE MUNCIPALITY is not the SOURCE
of LAWS but the SOURCE/PLACE where LAWS hold; WHY is not the
SOURCE of KNOWLEDGE but the VEHICLE to get knowledge from
its source; DEW is not the SOURCE OF PUSSINESS but the SOURCE
of the PUSSY LIKE APPEARANCE in the morning; GATES create
borders and APPEAR to BUNDLE up the city. Similary MGD is not
a source of GD seeds but a source of things as sweet as GD
seeds.
