VERSE: Ex30-27f
RASHIS COVERED: Ex30-27f Ex30-27a Ex30-27b Ex30-27c
========================== Ex30-27f =======================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis main goals is to explain word meaning the same
way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety of
vehicles by which to explain meaning. In fact items can
be named by eight methods such as the FORM of the objects
activities (e.g. BrainSTORM) the SUBSTANCE of the object
(e.g. the GLASSES) or the APPEARANCE of the object(e.g.
the PENTAGON).
EXAMPLE Ex30-27f
----------------
TAKE THE PERFUMES BY ITSELF-BY ITSELF is a one time
occuring idiom which means EACH PERFUME HAD EQUAL WAIT
EXAMPLE Ex30-27a
----------------
The NaTaF perfume was named because it was MADE
from bark Drippings
EXAMPLE Ex30-27b
----------------
By contrast The Shecheleth perfume refers to a SHINY
perfume--it is named after the Shachal-- the mountain
lion who is known for his FLEETING AGILE movements
(Like the FLEETING of LIGHT on a shiny surface--here
we name by the FORM of ACTIVITY of the object)
EXAMPLE Ex30-27c
----------------
The ChelbeNah perfume was named because it smells
putrid like leftover FAT (CHeleb). Here the object
is named by how it FEELS.

==========================================
================== LIST814a ==================================
Words named by FORM OF ACTIVITY. For example, a STORM refers
to ALOT of drops. By analogy a BRAINSTORM refers to a ALOT
of thoughts
==============================================================
WORD MEANS FROM MEANING
============ ========================= ====== ================
SheCheleth Perfume that is SHINY LION Agile/Jumps*3
BrainSTORM ALOT of Thought droplets STORM ALOT of drops
SURF The web BUMPY lookups SURF BUMPY journey
LOUD Dress ALOT of noticability LOUD ALOT of noise
DOUGHED leg SWOLLEN leg DOUGH TO RAISE DOUGH*1
FLY Flying thru air Fly The housefly*1
OX(SR) Animal that PLOUGHS field SCAN SCAN=PLOUGH*2
NOTES
-----
*1 There are two steps here
- DOUGH (the object) refers to DOUGH RISING (Verb)
- DOUGH RISING refers to ANY SWELLING
Similarly
- FLY (Housefly) refers to FLIGHT OF HOUSEFLY(Verb)
- HOUSEFLY FLIGHT refers to ANY TYPE OF FLYING
In each case the original narrow meaning (housefly flight,
rising dough) refers to the general activity form.
See LIST050d for further details.
*2 That is the visual form of SCANNING is identical to
the physical form of PLOUGHING(See LIST862d for
more information on the root Shin-Vuv-Resh)
*3 I would suggest that ShaChal refers to MOUNTAIN LIONS
who are known for their agility and swiftness (A Shiny
object exhibits light reflections FLEETING to and fro)

VERSE BIBLICAL PHRASE TRANSLATION NOTES
======== ======================= ===================== ==========
Ex30-27f BY ITSELF BY ITSELF Equally for each one
Ex30-04a SIDE OF SIDES Corner *6
Ex14-05b CHANGE OF HEART Changed his mind
Gn43-29a FIND GRACE Wish(ed) you well *5
Gn24-57a ASK HER MOUTH Discuss/get opinions *4
Ex12-06d BETWEEN THE EVES NOON *3
Gn37-03a SON OF OLD AGE Youngest *1
Gn37-26b COVER BLOOD Conceal murder *2
Ex21-21a DAY OR DAYS 24 hours
Lv13-39a DULL WHITE DULL WHITE
NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi points out 3 equally possible meanings
- Youngest son (Son born while father was ELDERLY)
- Wisest son (ELDER=WISDOM)
- Son who resembles father (despite old age he still
looks like son)
*2 This is an example of a DOUBLE METONOMY
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder
*3 NOON is the midpoint between EVE and DAWN. Hence
NOON is the BETWEEN THE EVES.
*4 The context is the proposed marriage of 15 year old
Rivkah to Isaac from another country. The offer had
been made by the servant of Abraham to Rivkahs family
The Biblical text states: Let us(her parents)
ASK HER MOUTH
This is the ONLY time in the Bible that this
phrase occurs(The verb ASK occurs frequently).
Apparently this phrase means
- Lets DISCUSS or LETS GET AN OPINION*10
Such an interpretation is appropriate for a marriage
decision
*5 FIND-GRACE can equally mean I WISH YOU WELL or
YOU WERE WISHED WELL. Rashi points out that GRACE
by itself has this same connotation (Without the
full phrase FIND GRACE). See LIST854g for further
details
*6 Tzade-Lamed-Ayin means SIDE (and hence can refer
to the RIBS). Thus Ex30-04 speaks about the SIDE
OF SIDES--that is the CORNER.
---------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------
*10 Hence the Rashi on Gn24-57b: The Biblical text
states that Rivkah responded: I WILL GO.
But Rashi, surprisingly states: I WILL GO WHETHER
YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
Why did Rashi read such an emphasis into the simple
question and answer
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------
The answer is that the Bible says
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: We will DISCUSS THE MATTER with her;
get her opinion
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------
Thus the context shows that Rivkah was not
INTERESTED IN A DISCUSSION--she had already
made up her mind
