EXAMPLES
========

We continue our examples of Rashis on the word >THE<
In the following verses >THE< refers to a well known
item--usually something just mentioned.



Ex25-06a
========
BACKGROUND
----------
They Bible lists materials needed for the construction of the
temple

THE VERSE
---------
Ex25-06a Oil for >THE (Known)< Light (ie the Candellabrah)

THE RASHI:
---------
           If it said >Oil for light< it could eg mean lighting for
           the construction workers. By saying >Oil for THE Light<
           it refers to the known utensil--the Candellabrah






Ex27-07a
========
BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is speaking about the construction of the Temple altar

THE VERSE
---------
Ex27-07a And bring the support-poles in >THE (known)< rings

THE RASHI
---------
The Bible is referring to the rings that were just mentioned
in Ex27-04
 --------------------------------------------------------
 And make a copper meshwork for the altar and make
 on the copper meshwork 4 rings and make support-poles which
 will be brought in THE rings
 --------------------------------------------------------
In other words THE rings for the support-poles are the same
rings made on the copper meshwork (and not eg extra rings)






Ex28-25b
========
BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is describing the construction of the EYPHOD
garment

THE VERSE
---------
Ex28-25b And take two cords (for fastening) and place
         them on >THE< setting stones

THE RASHI
---------
The Bible is simply referring to the setting stones
described above in Ex28-13
 --------------------------------------------------
 And make 2 settings stones...and make an Eyphod...
 and attach the cords to the setting stones
 --------------------------------------------------








Ex30-10c
========
BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is describing the functions of the golden altar

THE VERSE
---------
Ex30-10 And Aaron will once a year use the altar horns
        for an atonement procedure from the blood of
        >THE< sin offering of atonement, once a year

THE RASHI
---------
There are of course many sin offerings that offer
atonement. But >THE< Atonement (offering) refers to
the offering of >THE DAY OF ATONEMENT< (Yom Kippur)
described in Lv16







Ex34-32b
========
THE VERSE: >THE< Holiday of Gathering

THE RASHI: This of course refers to SUCCOTH when
           the grain is GATHERED.

See http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn49-29a.htm for a LIST
of verses showing that the Hebrew root >Aleph-Samech-Pay<
means to >BRING IN<.






Ex40-29b
========
Ex40-29c
========

THE VERSE: & he offered on the altar >THE (known)< Elevation
           Offering & >THE (known)< Minchah


THE RASHI: >THE (known)< Offering = The DAILY Offering (Nu28)
           >THE (known)< Minchah  = The Minchah libations
           of the DAILY Offering (Nu28-05)

In other words: >& he offered on it OFFERINGS and MINCHAH<
could mean he offered SOME OFFERING and SOME MINCHAH. By
stating >& he offered on it THE Offering and THE Minchah<
the reference is to to the known DAILY OFFERING.





Ex23-31b >THE (Famous/well known)< River =  The PRATH River
========
Cf Gn02-14b where the 4 rivers that flowed from the Garden of
Eden are mentioned. The Bible concludes the LIST of 4 rivers
with the PRATH RIVERS. Using the principle of CLIMAX Rashi
observes that this river was the most superior of all rivers.
For other examples of >CLIMAX< see
