VERSE: Gn22-01b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn22-01b Gn06-17a Gn09-09a Gn37-17a

========== HINAYNI means I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT =======

BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible contains a number of dialogues between people
or between God and people. The dialogue might begin with
someone calling someone and the other person responding
with the Hebrew word HINAYNI*1

THE TEXT
--------
e.g. God appeared to Jacob and said JACOB JACOB: and Jacob
     responded HINAYNI (Gn31-10:11)

THE RASHI
---------
The Hebrew word HINAYNI is more than an interjection. It
rather denotes a statement I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT
As such it denotes a PREPAREDNESS for anything as well as
a sense of humility (since the declaration for preparedness
is made before finding out what is requested)

THE LIST
--------
Here is the LIST
============================================================
VERSE    TEXT WITH HEBREW WORD hinayni    WHO SPOKE TO WHOM
======== ================================ ==================
Gn37-17a I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Joseph to Jacob)
Gn22-01b I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Abraham to God)*2
Gn31-11  I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Jacob to God)*3
Ex03-04  I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Moses to God)
1Sam3-4  I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Samuel to God)
Gn27-01  I AM READY FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT (Esauv to Isaac)*4

NOTES
=====
*1 In English you respond to a call on your name with YES
*2 Compare identical READINESSES throughout: Gn22-07 Gn22-11
*3 Compare an identical READINESS in Gn46-02
*4 From this verse we learn that Esauv respected his parents
   (Despite his other bad attributes)
=============================================================

==== hinni MEANS i have decided despite other considerations ====

BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is full of statements of intent to do some activity.
In about 200 cases these statements of intent contain the
Hebrew INTERJECTION hinni.

THE TEXT
--------
Gn09-09a contains the statement that God will never destroy
the world again. The actual text has the interjection HINNI.
------------------------------------------------------------
And I, HINNI, will make a convenant (not to bring floods)
------------------------------------------------------------
What does this interjection, HINNI, signify

THE RASHI
---------
The interjection HINNI literlly means HERE I AM and has a
nuance of emphasis that I AM HERE NOW DESPITE
COUNTERARGUMENTS against what I intend

THE LIST
--------
Accordingly the list below contains 3 columns
- it contains the VERSE with the word HINNI
- it contains the TEXT (of the verse) WITH HEBREW WORD hinni
  translated as I HAVE MADE THE DECISION to do such & such
- it contains a verse with a COUNTER argument. For example
  Gn08-21 says that MAN MIGHT BECOME EVIL FROM YOUTH. This would
  justify another flood. Gn09-09 states that GOD nevertheless
  MADE A DECISION NOT TO BRING ANOTHER FLOOD. The
  decision(in face of counterarguments) is indicated by HINNI
=================================================================
VERSE    COUNTER    TEXT WITH HEBREW WORD hinni
======== ========== =============================================
Gn06-17a Gn01-27    & I, IVE MADE THE DECISION to bring a flood*1
Gn09-09a Gn08-21*2  & I, IVE MADE THE DECISION not to flood again
Ex16-04  Ex16-02:03 IVE MADE THE DECISION to give Manna*3
Nu24-14  Nu24-13*4  IVE MADE THE DECISION to return to my nation
1Sa14-43 1S14-42:44 IVE MADE THE DECISION to die*5

NOTES
=====
*1 Even though I have created man and I am merciful I have
   decided that at this point punishment is needed

*2 Even though man may be wicked from his youth and deserves
   a flood nevertheless I will not bring a flood again

*3 Even though the people were complaining I have decided that
   it was a legitimate complaint & will provide food

*4 Even though you offered me honors and riches nevertheless
   I decline and am returning home

*5 I violated the order not to eat and even though I brought
   a victory I am willing to die
