VERSE: Gn14-23a

==================== Gn14-23a =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain
Grammar the same way modern Hebrew books
explain grammar.

One principle of Grammar is the principle of
APPOSITION. The APPOSITION principles states
that under certain circumstances words occuring
in a sentence should be move to an EARLIER/LATER
part of a sentence. The example below clarifies.


EXAMPLES Gn14-23a
-----------------
Gn14-23a states
---------------------------------------
[IF...FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE]
IF I take ANYTHING that belongs to you
---------------------------------------

According to the APPOSITION principles this should
be understood as
--------------------------------------------
IF I take
- ANYTHING--FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE--
that belongs to you
--------------------------------------------

Thus we see that the phrase
------------------------------
FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE
------------------------------

is moved to a LATER part of the sentence
after the word
----------------
ANYTHING
----------------


Another way of looking at this is to state that
the phrase
---------------------------
FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE
---------------------------
is perceived as standing OPPOSITE (In APPOSITION)
to the word
----------------
ANYTHING
----------------

APPOSITION is a powerful poetic technique since
by repositioning a phrase we force the reader
to focus attention on it. Thus here the phrase
---------------------------
FROM SHOELACE TO THREAD
---------------------------
emphasizes that Abraham will really take nothing

==================== LIST075a =============================
List of verses with      Use of APPOSITION
===========================================================
VERSE    WORDS IN APPOSITION IN VERSE are CAPPED*1
======== ==================================================
Gn14-23a FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE...If I take ANYTHING
Ex23-33a Dont intermarry lest you SIN--ie SERVE OTHER GODS
Isa63-7  I will remember GODS GRACE--ie HIS PRAISES
Ps147-9  God gives ANIMALS food-(even) to RAVENS that pray
Gn01-29a I God give to MAN plant food---& to the ANIMALS
Lv06-13a This is the INAUGURATION SACRIFICE-DAILY MNCH

NOTES
------
*1 So the verse should be read with all the CAPPED words
   brought together. For example Gn14-23a is UNDERSTOOD as
   -----------------------------------------------------
   If I take ANYTHING---FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE-from you
   -----------------------------------------------------
