VERSE: Ex40-03a

=================== SAKOTHA means TO PLACE ======================

BACKGROUND
----------
Ex40 describes the construction of the temple

THE TEXT
--------
Ex40-03 states that the PAROCETH will SOCAYCH ON THE ARK

THE RASHI
---------
By looking at another almost identical verse we infer
that SAKOTHA means TO PLACE.

THE LIST
--------
The two verses are presented in the list below

REFERENCE
---------
http://www.RashiYomi.com/align-58.htm presents over
150 aligned verses We discuss 4 methods of alignment.
One such method frequently used in poetry is to infer
that two aligned terms have the same meaning. This is
the method used here. See the reference for further
examples.
================================================================
VERSE   PHRASE1         PHRASE2        PHRASE3
======= =============== ============== =========================
Ex26-34 The Paroceth    Will divide    between HOLY & HOLY HOLY
Ex40-03 The Paroceth    Will SOCAYCH   on the Ark
Differs *1              *2             *3

NOTES
-----
*1 Both verses are talking about the Paroceth

*2 One verse uses the word DIVIDER (The Paroceth was a
   dividing curtain between the HOLY OF HOLIES which
   contained the ark and the HOLIES which contained
   the Table and Candellabrah (Ex26-33:35).

   By alignment I infer that SOCAYCH also means TO DIVIDE
   (Its actual meaning is TO COVER which closely approximates
   this but has different nuances)

*3 Again: Referring to Ex26-33:35 we see that the ARK resided
   in the HOLY OF HOLIES. Thus the two verses simply had
   different emphasis: Ex40-03 emphasizes that the PAROCETH
   CURTAIN COVERED THE ARK while Ex26-34 emphasized that
   the PAROCETH CURTAIN FUNCTIONED as a DIVIDER between
   the HOLY OF HOLIES that contained the ark and the rest
   of the temple.

   Thus one could approach this Rashi from the point of view
   of word meaning---but it is also possible to approach it
   from the point of view of ALIGNMENT
=================================================================

RASHI RULE USED: ALIGNMENT
