VERSE: Ex30-35a


======================== Ex30-35a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 major methods is the WORD MEANING method;
Rashi explains the meaning of words the same way the dictionary
explains meaning.  Rashi had 10 methods to explain meaning.
One of them is the UNIFIED MEANING method in which Rashi shows
how disparate meanings of one root have an underlying unified
meaning.

EXAMPLE: Ex30-35a
-----------------
Verse Ex30-35 states
---------------------------------------------------
The incense should be MiXED perfumes, pure and holy
---------------------------------------------------
The Hebrew word for MIXED is MEM-LAMED-CHETH.

The primary meaning of MEM-LAMED-CHETH is a SEA-FARER or
SEA NAVIGATION.

Since the sea bearing a SEA-NAVIGATED BOAT looks like a
FOAMY, WHITE and WAVY therefore MEM-LAMED-CHETH can also
refer to SALT because a BANK OF SALF also looks FOAMY
WHITE and WAVY.

Here Rashi uses the word meaning rule
of naming by FORM/APPEARANCE. Other examples
of naming by FORM/APPEARANCE are the ORANGE dress,
or the PENTAGON.

Since the ACTIVITY FORM of mixing with SALT is MIXING
therefore MEM-LAMED-CHETH can refer to MIXING WELL.

Other examples of naming by ACTIVITY FORM might be
the phrases BRAIN-STORMING or SURFING THE NET.

LIST864g summarizes the above.
