========================== Ex21-35a ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main methods is the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this
the WORD MEANING method.
----------------------------------------------
Rashi had 10 vehicles to explain meaning. The SYNONYM
submethod takes words with known meanings and shows the
similarity and nuances in each term.
----------------------------------------------
Example 7: Ex21-35a
-------------------
Ex21-35a discusses damages from a Goring ox
---------------------------------------------
If an Ox ATTACK another ox ...payment...
---------------------------------------------
Rashi distinguishes between GORE and ATTACK. The
word ATTACK connotes attack with any organ (horns,
feets etc).
Example 8,9: Ex22-26a Ex22-26b
-------------------------------
Ex22-26 discusses the Biblical requirement
of returning a garment deposit for a loan
-------------------------------------------
...you must return the garment nightly...
how else shall the borrower sleep....
-------------------------------------------
Rashi distinguishes several words for GARMENT
in the verse
- Garment
- Poncho
In other words, whether the lender took as a deposit
a DISTINGUISHED or SLIP-ON garment, it must be
returned.
Example 10,11: Ex22-20a, Ex22-20b
---------------------------------
Ex22-20 discussing the prohibition of
causing emotional anguish to a convert states
---------------------------------------------
A convert: Don't TEASE or SHOVE him
---------------------------------------------
- TEASE can mean VERBALLY TEASE
- TEASE can mean MONETARILY TEASE (a little
extra overcharge)
- SHOVE can mean PHYSICALLY SHOVE
- SHOVE can mean ECONOMICALLY SHOVE (eg
Shove him out of his property)
Rashi observes
----------------------------------
The Torah prohibits both VERBAL and
MONETARY attacks on the convert

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi does not indicate how he knows that the
cutoff point for ram vs sheep is 2 years.
- Perhaps this is general knowledge which shepards
know (That maturation takes places at two)
- Supportive verses show that a one year old
is still considered a sheep (Eg Ex12-05)
*2 Also Lv07-34a See LIST955p for an analysis
of verses with WAIVE vs OSCILLATE
*3 Cf. 1S15-03 where the explicit order to totally
exterminate Amalayk was given
*4 There are many words for conquer: CONQUEST, SUBDUE,
SMITE, WAR, etc. Our point here is to emphasize that
ERASE means REMOVE ALL MEMORY.
*5 Cf. The English metaphor "No strings attached."
*6 The idea that TAKER OF WOMAN=ENGAGED while
GROOMS=ALREADY MARRIED fits into the following verses,
Gn20-02:04
--------------------------------------------------
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister;
and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and became
ENGAGED to [litrally: TOOK] Sarah. But God came to
Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,
Behold, you are but a dead man, because of the
woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.
But Abimelech had not CONSUMATED the marriage;
and he protested, ....
