VERSE: Gn19-14a

RASHIS COVERED: Gn19-14a Gn19-14b

========================== Gn19-14a ============================

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.

----------------------------------------------
Rashi had 10 vehicles to explain meaning. The SYNONYM
submethod takes words with known meanings and shows the
similarity and nuances in each term.
----------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 1: Gn19-14a Gn19-14b
----------------------------
Verse Gn19-14 describing the advice
the angels gave to Lot to flee the city
of Sedom which they were about to destroy states
-------------------------------------------
And Lot went out, and spoke
- to his GROOMS,
- [to those] who had TAKEN [Rashi: ENGAGED] his daughters,
and said, Arise, get out from this place;
for the Lord will destroy this city.
But they thought he was joking.
-------------------------------------------

The Rashi comments have already been inserted in brackets.
Rashi distinguishes the two synonyms
-----------------------------------------
- GROOMS means ALREADY married SONS-IN-LAW
- TAKER OF WOMEN means ENGAGED
-----------------------------------------

This usage is consistent with other usages of these
terms.

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi does not indicate how he knows that the
   cutoff point for ram vs sheep is 2 years.
   - Perhaps this is general knowledge which shepards
   know (That maturation takes places at two)
   - Supportive verses show that a one year old
   is still considered a sheep (Eg Ex12-05)

*2 Also Lv07-34a See LIST955p for an analysis
   of verses with WAIVE vs OSCILLATE

*3 Cf. 1S15-03 where the explicit order to totally
   exterminate Amalayk was given

*4 There are many words for conquer: CONQUEST, SUBDUE,
   SMITE, WAR, etc. Our point here is to emphasize that
   ERASE means REMOVE ALL MEMORY.

*5 Cf. The English metaphor "No strings attached."

*6 The idea that TAKER OF WOMAN=ENGAGED while
   GROOMS=ALREADY MARRIED fits into the following verses,
   Gn20-02:04
   --------------------------------------------------
   And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister;
   and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and became
   ENGAGED to [litrally: TOOK] Sarah. But God came to
   Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,
   Behold, you are but a dead man, because of the
   woman whom you have taken;  for she is a man’s wife.
   But Abimelech had not CONSUMATED the marriage;
   and he protested, ....
