SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals was the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a
variety of vehicles to explain meaning.

Ex21-31a,Ex21-31b SYNONYMS
--------------------------
PTaCH BOR = OPEN a pit; YCRH BOR= DIG a pit

Ex21-10c,Ex21-10d Meaning inferred from Verses
----------------------------------------------
- Sheer=FOOD
- KeSuth=Clothing
- ONah = Conjugal rights
The 3 rights of married women.
Several verses are brought showing SHEER = FOOD

Ex21-21b  - KI can mean IF
--------------------------
Master will not be avenged for killing his slave IF
this slave is his property (That is exclusively his
property)

Rather  Dt15-08b Dont withold money; RATHER be charitable
If      Ex34-09a IF we are obstinate than forgive us
If      Ex21-21b Master wont be avenged IF slave is his property
When    Dt32-03a WHEN Gods name is mentioned give greatness to God

===============================================================
VERSE      TEXT OF VERSE WITH MEANING OF sheer CAPPED
========== ====================================================
Ex21-10c*1 Husband will give wife FOOD,clothing,sex
P078-20    Will God prepare FOOD for his nation
P073-26    My FLESH and HEART Yearn...God
Mi03-02    ...they steal SKIN...FLESH from their bones
Jr51-35    My anger and FLESH (are on)Babel(For their evil)
Pr05-11    You-ll complain when you lose your flesh & BODY*2

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi (Ex21-10d) states that KESUTH has its
   normal meaning (CLOTHING). I think the emphasis
   here is that 3 words are listed TWO of which must
   be explained
   - Sheer -- needs explanation as meaning FOOD
   - ONah --- needs explanation as meaning SEX
   - Kesuth - normal meaning of CLOTHING(Ex21-10c)
   These 3 items (Food, sex, clothing) constitute
   the rights of a married woman.

*2 The exact nuances of Shin-Aleph-Resh are not that
   clear. It seems to mean FOOD, FLESH, BODY (The
   translation body is suggested by the aramaic
   translation). Shin-Aleph-Resh most clearly means
   FOOD in P078-20

NOTES
-----
*1 This root occurs very infrequently We have
   - Lv15-03a oozing (RR) of sexual secretions
   - 1S21-14 (Spittle)
   - Jb06-06(Oozing of plants or spittle)

*2 Thus YQTziA doesnt just refer to ANY CUTTING but
   rather to SANDPAPERING. Hence this root can
   also refer to CORNERS and EDGES
   (which get their distinctness from being SANDPAPERED)

*3 I used an English analogy. Actually TNUR vs CIRaYIM
   seem to refer to a ONE-burner vs a TWO-Burner
   hot plate. I am not actually sure on all details*10

*4 Both of these are pots. One is shallow--the type
   used for frying. The other is deep--the type
   used for rich cooking*10

*5 These are two shades of white. I dont know if analogies
   exist in English (CLOUD-WHITE or
   SNOW-WHITE vs MARBLE WHITE)*10

*6 I dont believe English has technical terms for the TOP
   vs the Bottom grindstone*10

*7 Again there are no English words. The Kaph-Vuv-Resh
   refers to a VAT that can hold about 200 Gallons

   By contrast the Kaph-Yud-Vuv-Resh refers to a hugh
   TANK of water with faucet holes. This TANK was
   used to wash hands and legs in the temple (The water
   sprinkled out of the holes and washed the person)

*8 HAY only occurs twice in the Bible (The other occurence
   is at Ez16-43). The difference between HAY and HINAY
   seems to be that
   - You use HINAY (HERE) when the object you are giving
     is actually there
   - You use HAY (HERE) when the object you are giving
     is not necessarily physically there but accessible.
   Hence since Joseph said HERE, I AM GIVING YOU SEED,
   and was referring to SEED he possessed (but not
   seed that he had immediately before him) we use
   the word HAY not HINAY. (This suggested difference
   is conjectural; there are verses with Hinay that
   would seem to contradict it--if so HAY and HINAY
   would simply be two synonyms with the same meaning)

*9 So eg REPRODUCE and INSECTIFY both have the same
   basic meaning of HAVING CHILDREN. But INSECTIFY
   has the added nuance of having MANY CHILDREN

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

*10 I believe Rashis basic thrust in all these verses is
    explaining items that are ALMOST similar in meaning
    but have some subtle nuance (Like STOVE OVEN).

    However Rashi goes further and gives etymologies of
    some of these words eg
    - SeAyTh = CLOUD WHITE (From NaSiH=cloud)
    - MaChaVath= FRYING PAN (Has a rim that HIDES(Cheth-Bet)
    - MaRCheSeth= Deep Cooking Pan(food BUBBLES (RaChSh))
    - RCV=Top Grindstone that RIDES(RCV) on the other grindstone
    There are more etymologies; some of these have been
    discussed elsewhere. I believe these are the basic ones.

*11 Rashi-s actual language is
    -----------------------------------------
    S-R-Tz means to have 6 children at a time
    -----------------------------------------
    The number 6 has sent the Rashi commentators
    into a frenzy. Some Rashi commentators derive
    the number 6 from the 6 verbs in Ex01-07
    - (1) The Jews REPRODUCED
    - (2) and INSECTIFIED
    - (3) and MULTIPLIED
    - (4) and became HUMONGOUS
    - (5) ALOT
    - (6) ALOT
    However a simpler approach to Rashi is the following
    - The word INSECTIFY means HAVE CHILDREN LIKE INSECTS
    - So INSECTIFY means HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS YOU CAN
    - But the maxmimum children a woman can have is 6
    - So Rashi-is-Simple

*12 e.g. Gn15-12 Abraham had ANXIETY on the vision of
    what would happen to him over the next 400 years
    vs. Dt28-66 You will FEAR Day and NIGHT.

    (It is hard to prove exact nuances from the
    verses--it may be more precise to state that
    AYMAH is NON-SPECIFIC ANXIETY while PACHAD is
    SPECIFIC FEAR. This would be consistent with
    the etymology of AYMAH = AY MAH = WHERE IS IT?
    WHAT WILL HAPPEN -- that is, ANXIETY is a state
    of excessive concern on what will happen without
    being specific.)
