VERSE: Ex25-23a

RASHIS COVERED: Ex25-23a Ex25-23a

==================== Ex25-23a =====================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the
meaning of words the same way a dictionary
explains the meaning of words.

In explaining word meaning Rashi had at his
disposal a variety of vehicles. We illustrate
naming by form.

EXAMPLE Ex25-23a
----------------
- Table STATURE = Table HEIGHT

EXAMPLE Ex25-25a
----------------
- a Table CASING (Msgrth) SURROUNDS (Sgr) table

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi supplements this explanation by
   citing verses where RKA means to
   FLATTEN OUT(eg Isa42-05,P136-07,
   2S22-43, Ez06-11,Ex39-03, Nu17-04,
   Jr10-09--in all these verses RKA
   means to flatten out/crush)

*2 Perhaps the punchiest example is the following
   - PENTAGON - named by form
   - U.N. ----- named by function

*3 - STATURE is an attribute of HUMANS
   - HEIGHT is an attribute of OBJECTS
