VERSE: Ex07-01b

=============================== Ex07-01b ================================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the explanation of meaning similar to the
way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of
WORD MEANING.

Rashi had 10 major vehicles by which to explain meaning. A major subrule
of MEANING is when Rashi paints a UNIFYING meaning to disparate meanings
of one root. We call this the method of UNIFIED MEANINGS.

EXAMPLE Ex07-01b
----------------
The Biblical text at Ex07-01b states
------------------------------------------------------
You, Moses, will speak to Pharoh, while Aaron your
brother will be your ORATOR (Nun-Yud-Beth)
------------------------------------------------------

Rashi comments
-----------------------------------------------------------
The root Nun-Yud-Beth has a UNIFIED MEANING of SPROUTING
or GROWING. Hence it can mean
- SPROUTING of plants
- RAPID GROWTH of POSSESSIONS
- FLOWERY SPEECH (Speech that gives BIRTH to other ideas)
-----------------------------------------------------------

List863Q summarizes these meanings of root Nun-Yud-Beth with
illustrative verses.

NOTES
-----
*1 Note the same metaphor in English: FLOWER=FLOWERY SPEECH
   ORATORY connotes speech which can sink into a person and PRODUCE
   new thoughts (like plants).

   In general PLANTS are used metaphorically to indicate types of ideas:
   So we have
   - LEAF = word
   - TREE = advice (Because advice are ideas that YIELD fruit)
   - BRANCH = paragraph of thought
   The preceding list is due to Rav Hirsch
