VERSE: Ex29-20a
RASHIS COVERED: Ex29-20a Ex29-20b
========================== Ex29-20a =========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals was to explain word meanings the
same way the dictionary explains word meanings. Sometimes
Rashi explained the meaning of a Biblical root by equating
it with another root--the two roots might differ by a weak
root letter which could be ignored
EXAMPLE Ex29-20a
----------------
The TNCh=The EARLOBE comes from T-Ch=In the MIDDLE of the ear
Here the letter NUN is silent.
EXAMPLE Ex29-20b
----------------
The BOHEN=The THUMB comes from BNH=To BUILD since the thumb
enables grasping and enables man to build items (Thus the
THUMB is the BUILD finger). Here the letter HEY is weak.

NOTES
------
*1 Rashi Ex29-20a
*2 Note AS is really Aleph YUD Shin. Some would suggest that
AYS denotes POWERFUL men while ANS denotes WEAK men
*3 These last two items denote poetic idiom--the THIEF vs the
ARMED ROBBER operates steahily (in holes). One (quick) way
of hiding something is UNDER THE SHEARINGS.

thru. Note how the English Metaphor BREAKOUT mirrors the
Hebrew metaphor BREAKOUT
*3 ZRH usually refers to DISPERSION of seed. ZHR, radiance,
refers to DISPERSION of light. However in FORM both activities
LOOK the same
