VERSE: Ex06-06d

====================== Ex06-06d =================================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meanings
of words the same way a dictionary explains words.We
call this the Rashi rule of WORD MEANINGS.

Rashi has 10 vehicles to explain meanings. One method
of explaining meaing is to use the GOOD EXAMPLE method.
For example BREAD is a GOOD EXAMPLE of FOOD and hence
BREAD can mean FOOD. Similarly HONEY can mean SWEET.
In literature this is known as METONOMY or SYNECHDOCHE
(naming a WHOLE by a PART).

EXAMPLE Ex06-06d
----------------
The biblical text states
----------------------------
I, God, have taken you from
the HEAVY BURDENS of Egypt
----------------------------

Rashi (paraphrased) comments
-------------------------------
The word Samech-Beth-Lamed means
a physically heavy burden. This is
a good example of BURDENSOME work
-------------------------------

Note that in English the word BURDEN
can also simultaneously refer to a HEAVY BURDEN
or a BURDENSOME task.

LIST850a summarizes several Biblical words named using
the GOOD EXAMPLE method.
