VERSE: Ex21-30a

RULE: The Word >IF< can sometimes mean >WHEN<.
=====

EXAMPLES
========
{LIST}
Please find below the 7 verses  where >IF< means >WHEN<. We also
bring the supporting verses that proves that >IF< must mean
>WHEN<.As an example: Ex20-22 says >IF you build an altar<.
However since Dt27-06 >obligates< us to build an altar this
changes the translation of Ex20-22 to >WHEN you build an alter<.
================================================================
VERSE           Text of Verse(IF means WHEN)   Supporting Verse
==========      ===========================    =================
Ex20-22a        WHEN you build an altar        Dt27-06
Ex22-24a        WHEN you lend money            Dt15-08
Lv02-14a        WHEN you bring First fruit     Lv23-10
Nu36-04a        WHEN the Yovel comes*1         Lv25-08:12
Gn28-20a        WHEN God be with me            Gn28-15
Dt21-14a	WHEN you hate her let her go*2 		
Ex21-30a	WHEN ransom is placed on him		



NOTES
=====
*1 Actually Rashi states >Since the Bible literally says >IF the
  Jubilee comes< we infer that the Jubilee would eventually cease
   from Israel. But implicit in this Rashi is the fact that the
   verse means >WHEN the Jubilee comes then such and such will
   happen<

*2 This is Rashi..If you rape a foreign woman in war and take her
   into your house you will ULTIMATELY despise her and throw her
   out. Hence the verse should read >WHEN< you let her go vs >IF<
   you let her go. See below for further amplification

For further details and an exciting discussion on why Rashi
cited 7 verses while the Mechiltah cited only 3 please see
