GOALS:
======
This module studies how the addition of the phrase FOR ME
indicates a PERSONAL motif in the performance of an activity

TODAYS UNIT
===========
Yesterday we saw how FOR ME indicates DEDICATION.
Today we explore other PERSONAL NUANCES indicated
by FOR ME.

REFERENCE:
==========
This material for this module comes from the following postings.

FOR ME=FOR PERSONAL REASONS


BACKGROUND
----------
In this posting we show that by adding the Hebrew word LI--
which literally means FOR ME--to a verb we indicate that
the activity was done for PERSONAL REASONS.

REFERENCE
---------
See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu10-02a.htm


THE RASHIS
----------
The Rashis on the verses below all indicate how the
activity was personal.


THE LIST
--------
Note that the statement that the activity was PERSONAL
does not have any specificity -- HOW was it personal?
Consequently each Rashi shows a reasonable but shrewd
guess on how the given activity was PERSONAL. This is
indicated in the HOW IS IT PERSONAL column

We now present the LIST.
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE HOW IS IT PERSONAL
Nu13-02b Send for YOURSELF spies if you want
Ex18-27a & he went for HIMSELF to his land For personal reasons*1
Nu10-01b make for YOURSELF 2 trumpets Personal use*2
COMMENTS
*1 BACKGROUND: The previous chapter Ex18 states how much Jethro
   admired Gods salvation of the Jews from Egypt. Hence if
   the verse states JETHRO RETURNED FOR PERSONAL REASONS
   TO HIS COUNTRY, Rashi conjectures that he probably
   went to convert his friends and family to Noachidic
   belief in God, and founded the SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
   OF JETHRO (cf Jud04-11)

   Further details at http://www.RashiYomi.com/ex18-27a.htm

*2 A simple approach to reading Rashi is as follows:
   The phrase MAKE FOR YOURSELF implies that there was
   SOMETHING PERSONAL about the making of the trumpets.
   So Rashi is careful NOT to take sides but simply to
   give 3 examples of WHAT could be PERSONAL about them.
   --------------------------------------------------------
   PERSONAL IN PURPOSE  Trumpet blasts honor Moses as King
   PERSONAL IN SOURCE   Trumpets were made from Moses funds
   PERSONAL IN USERS    Only Moses (no one else) could blow
   --------------------------------------------------------
