VERSE: Ex14-03c

RASHIS COVERED: Ex14-03c

==================== Ex14-03c =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain
Grammar the same way modern Hebrew books
explain grammar.

Particularly important is the explanation
of grammatical conjugation. Rashi had a
special method of teaching conjugation--
Rashi taught grammar using the method of
NEAR MISSES in which he either juxtaposes

(a)two grammatical forms which
differ in only one small detail or

(b)two identical forms which however differ
in meaning.

Such NEAR MISSES help reinforce the various
rules of grammar.

EXAMPLES
--------
NeBuChiM from root N-B-X means ENTANGLED
BoCh from root B-V-X means CONFUSED

NOTES

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

*10 Ex14-18c has the word NeBuCHiM.

 Radack and Mendelkorn think this comes
 from the Root Beth-Vuv-Caph.

 Rashi however brilliantly notes that
 the proper root is Nun-Beth-Caph.
 According to Rashi
 - root Beth-Vuv-Caph means CONFUSED
 - root Nun-Beth-Caph means ENTANGLED

 To defend this we need two lists
 - LIST702a contains the FORM NeBuCHiM which
 indicates a participle (Something was
 done to it eg BLESSED, ENTANGLED,
 COVERED, etc)*11

 - LIST702b contains verses where
 the MEANING of N-B-X is
 ENTANGLED The verses in the 2nd list
 all denote some type of ENTANGLEMENT
 or TRAPPING.*12

*11 This is Form 1798 in Silbermans
   Grammatical form Konkordance.
   Silberman brings 20 examples of
   this form.

   Interestingly Silberman follows
   Radack who sees NeBuCHiM as coming
   from root B-V-X in which case the
   form would be bizarre. However
   Rashis approach makes everything
   natural

*12 Why did Radack ignore Rashis Simple
   approach? Probably because there
   are only 3 verses with root N-B-X
   (LIST702b). It didnt seem worth it
   to make an extra root for just
   3 verses.

   But the evidence for Rashi is
   overwhelming. The meaning ENTANGLED/
   TRAPPED fits perfectly and the
   FORM is consistent with the other
   2 dozen examples.
