VERSE: Gn17-16b
========================== Gn17-16b =========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main methods is the explanation of words
the same way the dictionary explains words. Rashi gave
special attention to connective words like BECAUSE, ALSO,
ON, etc.
Today we review the Hebrew word ALSO which is used in 3 ways
EXAMPLE Gn17-16b
-------------------
Gn17-16 states
------------------------------------------------
I will bless her and will ALSO give her a child
------------------------------------------------
Here the world ALSO refers to Sarah-s extraordinary NURSING
capacity which is mentioned in Gn21-27 (Sarah is now nursing
CHILDREN (the plural connotes that she was nursing more than
her son)).
NURSING is perceived as a DERIVED category from CHILD. Thus
here the word ALSO refers to a DERIVED item. Other such usages
of ALSO are presented in the list below.

NOTES
-----
*1 Here is the way to use this list. We use the first row
Verse Column
------------
First we look up the verse Ex19-22a AND ALSO THE PRIESTS
WILL SEPARATE.
Text Column
-----------
We see the text---- PRIESTS separate.
Also Column
-----------
This column indicates that ALSO includes the FIRSTBORN
(who functioned as priests).
So the verse is read as follows
--------------------------------------------
God told Moses: The Priests ALSO (besides the firstborn)
will separate
--------------------------------------------
In other words the word ALSO is interpreted to include
the FIRSTBORN besides the PRIEST. The FIRSTBORN are
EXTRA to the priest.
To make this easier to see I have CAPPED both FIRSTBORN
and PRIESTS.
*2 So here without the word ALSO I would say that God punishes
nations which subjugate us. With the word ALSO I say that God
both punishes the nation AND with 10 plagues AND with letting
the Jews out with wealth.
*3 God criticized Moses for wanting an IMMEDIATE fulfillment
of the prophecy that the Jews will be redeemed. God said
I ALSO gave prophecies to the Patriarchs (And they did
not demand immediate fulfillment)
*4 7:2--7 Kosher animals vs 2 non-kosher animals--
is only mentioned by the ANIMALS. The word ALSO
implies the 7:2 ratio was preserved by the birds ALSO.
*5 Just as when Sarah couldn't have children she gave her
husband(Abraham) her maid (Hagar) so too when Rachel
could have children she gave her husband her maid
*6 Laban had tricked Jacob into marrying Leah vs. Rachel.
*7 Jacob had tricked Isaac into blessing him. Isaac says
he is ALSO blessed. In other words, EVEN if he hadnt
tricked me he would still be blessed.
*8 The Non-jews complained about the lack of food in
the desert. The verse continues THEY RETURNED AND
COMPLAINED, ALSO THE JEWS. The word ALSO connotes
that the Jews complained with the same cynicism
as the non-jews.
*9 Gn21-27 confirms this since it states
------------------------------------------------
Who would have expected Sarah to NURSE CHILDREN
------------------------------------------------
The plural CHILDREN connotes that Sarah nursed
the children of several women at the birthday
party.
---------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ------------------------
*10 The three methods are
- ALSO connotes an EXTRA extraneous object
- ALSO connotes a DERIVED object
- ALSO connotes a SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP or method
