Those who seriously wish to study Rashi should study this. RULE ==== The Hebrew root >Aleph-Samech-Pay< has a fundamental meaning of >BRINGING IN<.From this fundamental meaning we get 5 meanings TODAYS UNIT =========== Today we bring the 5 Rashis where >ALEPH-SAMECH-PAY< means >HARVEST<. Both Rashi and Radack explain the >Aleph-Pay-Samech<--->HARVEST< translation as follows: The whole year the produce remains in the field. But at >HARVEST TIME< we BRING THE PRODUCE INto our houses or granaries to protect them from the elements. Hence we see that the root >ALEPH-PAY-SAMECH< retains its fundamental meaning of >BRINGING IN<.
