VERSE: Ex18-11a

RULE: The Hebrew root Y-D-A is usually translated as TO KNOW.
But its real meaning is BE FAMILIAR or APPRECIATE. For example
Gn04-01 would be translated AND ADAM WAS FAMILIAR WITH HIS WIFE
denoting marital intimacy.

In the following verses Rashi translates Y-D-A more or less as
indicated See the main posting for further details
