VERSE: Ex09-03a

RASHIS COVERED: Ex09-03a Ex06-03c Ex25-40b Ex08-05a Dt29-18a

========================== Ex09-03a =========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the explanation of GRAMMAR
the same way GRAMMAR books explain grammar. A classical
application of Grammar is the conjugation of verbs. There
are many books listing the conjugation of verbs. My favorite
source is the 12 Page appendix to Volume 5 of the Ibn Shoshan
Dictionary.

EXAMPLE Ex09-03a
----------------
God-s hand WILL BE on your livestock

WILL BE is the ACTIVE MODE, PRESENT TENSE of H-Y-H


EXAMPLE Ex06-03c
----------------
I had not BEEN KNOWN by my name the Creator

BEEN KNOWN is PASSIVE MODE. In other words God did tell
them His name but they never saw Gods creation since eg
God promised them Israel but they never saw this
created (fulfilled). (I.S.(Ibn Shoshan) table 2)

EXAMPLE Ex25-40b
----------------
...the Candellabrah which you are BEING SHOWN in the mountain

BEING SHOWN is present tense, PASSIVE MODE indicating that
God actually showed Moses a Candellabrah design presumably
because Moses had difficulty understanding it (I.S. Table 9)

EXAMPLE Ex08-05a
----------------
(Moses to Pharoh) DARE ME to give a time when the plague
will stop

DARE ME is the INTERACTIVE MODE (I.S. Table 1) of the
root P-A-R (Praise). By DARING Moses to provide a time,
Pharoh is forced to PRAISE God if the plague stops at
that time.


EXAMPLE Dt29-18a
----------------
...and he PATS HIMSELF ON THE BACK saying all is OK

PATS HIMSELF ON THE BACK is the INTERACTIVE MODE (I.S.
Table 1) of the root B-R-Ch which means to BLESS. To
INTERACTIVELY BLESS oneself is to say ALL IS OK

NOTES
-----
*1 God-s point is not that God didn't tell the Patriarchs his name,
   but rather that God had NOT BEEN KNOWN by that name. In other
   words God made promises to the Patriarchs (such as promise of
   Israel and redemption from Egypt) but the Patriarchs never
   saw these promises fulfilled (Hence God had NOT BEEN KNOWN by
   his ability to create--that is they hadnt seen it fulfilled).

   In the context, Moses is being reprimanded for wanting
   IMMEDIATE fulfillment of prophecy.

*2 Rashi is Simple -- Moses was shown the Candellabrah design
   which was sculptored from one piece. From the fact that
   the verse explicitly mentions this we infer that Moses had
   difficulty in comprehending the design and hence God had
   to show it to him.

*3 P-A-R means to PRAISE. The interactive tense means to DARE--
   that is, Moses DARED Pharoh to specify a time when the
   plague would stop--if the plague stopped at that time
   then Gods greatness would be revealed and He would be
   PRAISED.


*4 B-R-Ch means to BLESS. Interactive BLESSING means HE PATS
   HIMSELF ON THE BACK (He convinces himself that what he
   is doing is correct)
