======================== Gn14-02a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main methods is the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this
the WORD MEANING method.

Today we explore 5 different Rashi methods that explain
meaning.

Rashi had 10 vehicles to directly explain meaning.
Rashi would sometimes explain the meaning of HEBREW
BIBLICAL ROOTS by using the meaning of the individual
Hebrew letters. Some people erroneously interpret
Rashi as not believing in the 3 letter root theory
which everyone accepts. Actually Rashi believed that
- Hebrew roots had 3 letters and were CONJUGATED
  the way we all know
- Rashi ADDITIONALLY believed that the Hebrew roots
  themselves were composed of one and two letter
  roots which themselves had meaning.
The examples below will clarify this.

EXAMPLE Gn14-02a Beth can mean IN
---------------------------------
Gn14-01:02 mentions the names of 9 Kings.
Rashi derives personality attributes from
the names of these nine kings. The list
below shows this Rashi interpretation along
with other roots where BETH means IN
---------------------------------
BRA  (A Name) = A King who had EVIL (RA) IN HIM(Beth)
B-ER (Well)   = Something whose INside(Beth) is LIT(ER)
B-LL (Mix)    = TO SWIRL (LL) the INside(Beth)
B-SR (rotten) = REMOVE(SR) its INSIDES(Beth)
B-TN (Belly)  = the BASKET(TNA) withIN(Beth)
----------------------------------

EXAMPLE Gn14-02b Beth can mean THRU / BY
----------------------------------------
BRSA (A Name)    = to power THRU(Beth) his WICKEDNESS(RSA)
BTA  (pronounce) = THRU(Beth) BRANCHING(Tet) [of tongue]
SL-B (Content)   = THRU(Beth) POSSESION (SL=mine)
SG-B (Tall)      = THRU(Beth) GROWTH (SGA)
B-XN (to test)   = THRU IT(Beth) you achieve GRACE(XN)
-----------------------------------

From these lists Rashi infers that the king
- BRA was a King who had EVIL withIN
- BRSA was a king who rose to power THRU EVIL

LIST910s below presents roots with BETH meaning IN
LIST910t below presents roots with BETH meaning THRU

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will sometimes explain IDIOMS. An IDIOM is a
collection of words, which together means something
different than its component parts. Thus the
IDIOM endows NEW MEANING to the collection of words.
Very often the IDIOMATIC meaning is closely related
to the individual words. We call this the NEW MEANING
method.

EXAMPLE Gn13-03a
----------------
Gn13-03 states
--------------------------------------
Abraham WENT BY HIS JOURNEYS ...until
he came to his original starting place
where he had built an altar
--------------------------------------

Rashi explains the IDIOMATIC phrase
WENT BY HIS JOURNEYS
----------------------------------
WENT BY HIS JOURNEYS means he lodged
at the same hotels he lodged initially
----------------------------------

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will very often take a verse whose
meaning is understood and ADD a consequence
to the verse. We call this the SPREADSHEET
method since SPREADSHEETS are very often
used to derive consequences of otherwise
understood data.  The SPREADSHEET method
is also used when Rashi gives COMPUTATIONAL
or GEOMETRIC diagrams to clarify the meaning
of the verse.

Rashi also infers MORAL VALUE from the
text of Gn13-03a ---Rashi comments
-------------------------------------
We infer from this behavior of Abraham
the value in revisiting former contacts
and gradually building a relationship
-------------------------------------

LIST854x presents lists of Biblical idioms
LIST690a presents examples of the SPREADSHEET method

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar
the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar.
A GRAMMATICAL method that overlaps with word
explanation is the ROOT+PREPOSITION method. When
using this method we explain the same Hebrew
root as meaning different things depending
on the connective preposition used with the root.

EXAMPLE
-------
Gn12-15 states
-----------------------------------------
Pharoh's staff saw Sarah and THEY PRAISED
HER TO(Aleph Lamed) PHAROH
-----------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the phrase
PRAISED HER TO (Aleph Lamed) PHAROH
--------------------------------------
The words of praise were of the form
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
She is the type of beautiful woman
that only a Pharoh deserves
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--------------------------------------

Before explaining Rashi let us clarify
how HE would translate the verse
--------------------------------------
Pharoh's staff saw Sarah and THEY PRAISED
HER RELATED TO PHAROH
[AS A WOMAN WORTHY OF A PHAROH]
--------------------------------------

In other words Rashi interprets the phrase
--------------------------
PRAISE ALEPH-LAMED
--------------------------
as meaning
--------------------------
PRAISE RELATING TO
--------------------------

Rashi would justify his interpretation
based on the fact that Gn12-15 is the
only verse in the Bible with the
strange construction PRAISE + ALEPH-LAMED
The traditional prepositional connectives
associated with PRAISE are
-- PRAISE so and so (Use ETH)
-- PRAISE SOMEONE FOR such and Such(use BETH)
-- PRAISE AMONG (also uses BETH)
-- SELF PRAISE/BRAG (Use BETH)

LIST901O summarizes several examples of the
Hebrew root to PRAISE, along with different
connectives.

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 major methods is the derivation
of textual interpretation from CONTRADICTIONS
between verses. Rashi had 3 methods to resolve
contradictions. When Rashi resolves contradictions
thru the use of BROAD or LITERAL meanings

EXAMPLE Gn12-01d
----------------
In Gn12-01 God tells Abraham
----------------------------
Leave your country
----------------------------

This seems to contradict Gn11-31 which states
-------------------------------------------
Terach took his family...Abraham and...and
left OR CASDIM journeying to CHARAN
-------------------------------------------

If he had ALREADY left why was he told to leave
again?

Rashi resolves this contradiction thru
a use of BROAD interpretation
---------------------------------------
- Gn11-31 says that Abraham PHYSICALLY left his country
- Gn12-01 requests Abraham to SOCIALLY leave his country
  That is, he wsa requested to leave his fathers influence
----------------------------------------

LIST520a presents several examples of
resolution by broad-literal methods.

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Another grammar method that overlaps with word
meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method.
This method studies how words can change from
OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES
(adjective).

EXAMPLE: Gn13-12a He TENTED
---------------------------
Gn13-12 states
---------------------------
Lot TENTED to Sedom
---------------------------

Rashi comments on the transformation of the
object TENT, a noun, to the activity TENTING,
a verb
---------------------------------------
He TENTED to Sedom means he established
many tents along the road [for his
shepards and flocks]
---------------------------------------

LIST050d presents other examples of TRANSFORMATION of meaning.

NOTES
-----

*1 Rashi, Lv26-17h points out that the phrase
   -------------
   PLACE MY FACE
   -------------
   means
   --------------
   FULL ATTENTION
   --------------
   whether
   - for good, to reward
   - for bad, to punish.

*2 NOTE: The Hebrew word HEAD can mean both
 - BEGINNING
 - TOP
   However in this verse
 - the HEAD OF THE CLIFF contrasts with
 - the VALLEY in MOAB
   Hence HEAD means TOP

*3 A MOUTH LOTTERY refers to a lottery where you stick your
   hand in and select an item WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE
   ITEMS (In an open-box lottery you can see what you are
   picking even though you see backs of cards. In a MOUTH
   LOTTERY the box is covered except for a small MOUTH).
   The MOUTH LOTTERY is more secure and fairer.
   Hence the Rashi

   The name MOUTH LOTTERY is because the box has only
   a small mouth preventing you from seeing what is
   inside.
   ---------------------------------------------------
   MOUTH LOTTERY means that the LOTTERY speaks and says
   this belongs to so and so
   ---------------------------------------------------

   Of course, Rashi did not believe that LOTTERIES speak.
   Rather Rashi refers to the SECURITY and FAIRNESS of
   the lottery. In other words
   - MOUTH LOTTERY refers to a small MOUTH on LOTTERY box
     (not to a physical voice on the box)
   - Since the MOUTH LOTTERY is secure it is AS IF it
     screams and points to a correct fair choice

*4 Rashi is NOT explaining the meaning of the INDIVIDUAL WORDS
   - GOOD
   - PROPER
   Indeed, GOOD can mean SOCIALLY GOOD also (See Gn26-29)
   Therefore we have interpreted this Rashi as an example
   of the IDIOM method.

*5 These five examples show various idiomatic meanings of
   the INFINITIVE of the verb TO SAY: TO SAY can mean
   - TO SAY BACK: Request for response
   - TO SAY OVER: To Transmit
   - TO SAY OVER AND OVER: Rumor
   See LIST955m for a separate summary

*6 Thus in Dt18-01
   -------------------------------------
    The PRIEST-LEVITES shall not inherit
    from the conquest of Israel
   -------------------------------------
   the phrase PRIEST-LEVITES means
   PRIESTS OR LEVITES.

   Another occurrence of this phrase
   occurs in Dt17-18.

   In Dt17-09a Rashi does state
   ------------------------------------
   The PRIESTS who are no longer Levites
   ------------------------------------

    But I understand this to mean
   ------------------------------------
   PRIESTS by itself means PRIESTS but
   not Levites while LEVITES by itself
   could mean LEVITES but not Priests--
   PRIEST LEVITES means PRIESTS OR LEVITES*10
   -------------------------------------

*7 Besides the fact that this sounds OK (WENT BY JOURNEYS=
   STAYED BY SAME HOTELS) the verse gives support
   ---------------------------------------------
   HE WENT BY HIS JOURNEYS...UNTIL HE RETURNED
   TO HIS ORIGINAL PLACE WHERE HE BUILT AN ALTAR
   ---------------------------------------------

--------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------------------

*10 Dt17-09 states
    ---------------------------------------
    [If you have a legal question then]
    ask the PRIEST-LEVITES, the Judges of
    the day
    ---------------------------------------

    The law PREFERS that the great Sanhedrin
    court in Jerusalem consist of PRIESTS.
    Levites are a second choice (and Israelite
    scholars are a third choice).

    So it appears that Rashi's comment
    --------------------------------------
    Priests but not Levites
    --------------------------------------
    is literal.

    But in Dt18-01 the prohibition of inheriting
    conquested Israelie land applies to EITHER
    Priests OR Levites.

    Similarly I would interprtet Dt17-09 to mean
    that EITHER Priests or Levites should preferably
    be on the Great Sanhedrin. That is the Biblical
    law.

    But Rabbinically---since Priests are more
    involved with the Temple there is a preference
    for Priests to be elected to the great court
    vs. Levites. This preference however is rooted
    in logic not in the verse. The IDIOM, PRIEST-LEVITES
    means PRIESTS or LEVITES as shown.

-----
*1  Many people are familiar with the concept of the
    FORMULA PLUG IN. That is a problem is solved by a
    formula which you plug into.

    But some problems intrinsically cannot (initally)
    be solved by a formula. Instead you have to
    formulate the problem algebraically and solve;only
    then do you have the formula.

    In other words these problems are solved by
    the EQUATION vs the FORMULA

    Thus the statement that the eldest gets double
    suggests the following model.

    - Suppose the are B brothers
    - Suppose 1 of them is eldest
    - The Fathers total assets are T (Total)

    - Let A be the amount each brother inherits
    We have no formula for A

    - Then each of the B-1 brothers obtains A
    - The eldest obtains double, 2A.
    - Together this exhausts the Fathers estate, T

    Hence we have (B-1)A + 2A = (B+1)A = T

    This gives rise to the formula  A = T / (B+1)

    An example is a father with 100,000 and 4 children
    - T=100,000
    - B=4
    - So each child take T/(B+1) = 100000/5 = 20,000
    - Eldest takes 2*20000=40000
    - Other 3 take 20000
    - Total distribution =3*20000+40000=100000

    See Rambam Inheritance Chapter 2

*2
Rashi gives a clarifying example to the verse GOD FORGIVES HER
--------------------------------------------------------------
- the women vowed to become a nazarite
- the husband annuled her vow
- but the husband did not tell her about the annulment
- the women then violated her vow
-
- In such a case God forgives the women (despite her
  intending to commit a sin) because of the unknown
  annulment of her husband
-
- We conclude that sin is an attribute of ACTION,not INTENT

NOTES
-----
*1 Hence the fire did not burn their clothes
   The idea that the FIRES mentioned in Dt05
   or Ex20 was the FIRE OF PROPHECY vs REAL
   FIRE is supported by many verses and
   themes (Dt05-21). There are other Biblical
   supports for this idea but this will suffice
   for now.*10

*2 Also echoed in Rashi Lv07-07b (OFFERING PRIEST
   means PRIESTS WHO COULD OFFER)

*3 Thus the request to kill the Jews is seen as a WISH
   (BROAD interpretation)not as something real

*4 That Bilam didnt know what his donkey knew is
   interpreted literally. That he claimed to know
   Gods thoughts is considered a LIE(Broad, non-
   literal interpretation).

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------
*10 It does not detract from the greatness of the
    miracle of revelation that the FIRE means FIRE
    OF PROPHECY.

    For Judaism does not view Gods greatness in His
    ability to make a mountain smoke with Fire.

    Rather Judaism views Gods greatness in His
    ability to make people burn with Spiritual Prophecy
