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: Ex28-14c Ex28-22b Ex28-22d Ex28-14d Ex28-14a
-----------------------------------------------------
Verses Ex28-13:22 discuss certain cloth items
used in the Priestly garments. More specifically
FASTENERS are being discussed. The following terms
and etymologies are presented
- THICK refers to WOVEN cords (Ayin Beth Tauv)
- SURROUND-SURROUND refers to CHAINS
(The idea being that the chain rings
SURROUND each other-Shin Resh Shin Resh)
- ROOT refers to FASTENERS which hold two
items tight (like the roots of a tree)

NOTES
-----
*1 Also Rashi Dt11-25b. It seems reasonable that
- P-Ch-D comes from Poh-Chad - SHARP and would refer to
e.g. getting GOOSE PIMPLES (Sharpnesses in skin) from
fear
- MoRaH comes from Y-R-A = vision = LONG TERM
apprehension over the future.*10
*2 - YOREH seems to comes from HRH to make pregnant. It
would look at the rain as ENABLING the seeds to grow
- MALKOSH seesm to come from LKSH - TO THE HARD(KSH)
GRAIN and would refer to a final softening rain
before the produce. See LIST910i *11
*3 It is hard to absolutely prove that
- A-V-H means FANTASIZE vs
- Ch-M-D means DESIRE ACQUISITION
The verses show that
- A-V-H is an act of the HEART while
- Ch-M-D is focused on ACQUIRING OBJECTS
See LIST955h for further details
(Also see Rashi Gn27-15a Gn03-06c Gn03-06d)
*4 On Dt19-16a Rashi gives an example of REMOVED/FABRICATED
Testimony--when eg witnesses testify to a murder in NY
and other witnesses come stating that the 1st witnesses
were with them in Chicago at the time of witnessing--thus
the murder testimony is totally removed from the real word
*5 Undoubtedly there is probably a subtle difference between
ANIH/SFINH but it is not possible to determine this from
verses. An interesting statistical note is the following
- SFINH occurs ONCE in the Bible
- ANIH occurs 3 dozen times in the Bible
- But in Biblical times the frequencies were reversed
Hence, Rashi, in explaining the more frequently occurring
ANIH was responding to the rarity of this word IN HIS TIME
*6 - GRASS can refer to MANY or SINGULAR grass
- MEADOW only refers to a WHOLE MEADOW of GRASS
*7 TWK verses Beth (CENTRALLY IN vs IN)
explains several Rashis:
Nu17-21a Gn02-09b Ex24-1a Lv24-10c
Gn01-06b Nu35-34a See LIST955j
*8 Hence
- Ex28-28c TIGHTEN the AYFOD garment
- P031-21 Save me from GANGS(people TIGHTELY together)
- Is40-04 God will smooth the TIGHT mountains
(Rashi explains that TIGHT MOUNTAINS are mountains
close together with deep georges between them)*12
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ----------------
*10 The reader need NOT believe the above etymologies
For frequently Rashi explains synonyms without
reference to etymologies and even without reference
to verses. However some of the above etymologies seem
reasonable and may enrich our appreciation of the
synonyms.
*11 Rashi gives another etymology from the Aramaic.
However in this list we advocate the 2nd explanation
of Rashi over the 1st. Furthermore in this
particular case the 2nd explanation comes internally
from Hebrew while the 1st Rashi explanation INFERS
usage from Aramaic but does not EXPLAIN it.
*12 Rashi translates RKS as UNITE.
I have examined the verses and think the nuances
of TIGHTEN-which is a particular form of tightening
is more precise
Rashi and my analysis apparently override the
RADACK who translates (from context) RKS as meaning
HIGH. Compare
- RAISE the AYFOD (By tightening it)
- Save me from HAUGHTY people
- God will smooth the HIGH mountains
*13 Rashi brings several distinctions on the nuances
between VOWS vs DONATIONS
- VOWS are PERSONAL (eg I will bring...)
- DONATIONS are OBJECT oriented
(eg This material is to Tmpl)
- VOWS come for OFFERINGS
- DONATIONS come for TEMPLE repairs
- VOWS come for personal EXPIATION
- DONATIONS do not come personal EXPIATION
Rashi in fact notes that the word FOR EXPIATION
(Resh-Tzade-Hey) does occur in Lv22-23. However
this is just an accident. The main Rashi point comes
from the VOW:DONATION difference---in English also
- VOW has personal connotation (I undertake..) while
- DONATION has object connotation (this item goes to..)
*14 See LIST854O
*15
These 10 words for prayer describe 10 different
situations to which man responds in prayer. For example
you SCREAM IN PRAYER when you are pursued. You SEEK GRACE
in Prayer when you want a favor you don't deserve. You
CHAT in prayer when you wish to uplift your reminisces
to a Godly level.
*16 Rashi makes an additional point
- Ex28-13 is a one sentence OVERVIEW of the
construction the AYFOD-CHOSHEN while
- Ex28-22:28 is a description of the DETAILED
construction of the AYFOD-CHOSHEN
Thus this paragraph has a GENERAL-DETAIL form.
(Rashi further explains that FUTURE conjugations
in the first sentence are INTERPRETED as future
while in the rest of the paragraph they are
INTERPRETED as COMMANDS)
