VERSE: Gn24-08a

======================== Gn24-08a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
All Rashis clarify the meaning of a verse.
Most Rashis clarify the meaning of verses by
- explaining MEANING including SYMBOLIC meaning
- using GRAMMAR of verbs, sentences or FORMATTING
- using GRAMMAR of paragraphs (STYLE), or
- comparisons with OTHER VERSES including ALIGNMENTS,
  CONTRADICTORY VERSES, DATABASE inquiries

If however Rashi clarifies the meaning of a verse
- by making reasonable background assumptions
- add computations or
- exhibiting diagrams
then we say Rashi has used the SPREADSHEET method.
The term SPREADSHEET typically refers to COMPUTATIONAL
clarifications--we however have used it to refer to
any type of NON-VERSE clarification.

Todays examples illustrate the above.

EXAMPLE 1: Gn24-08a
-------------------
At Gn24-08 we find the following dialog
- Abraham requests that his son not marry a CANAANITE
- Eliezer points out that Labans family may not consent to marry
- Abraham insists that even so, no CANAANITE marriage

Rashi comments
-------------------------------------------
FOR EXAMPLE: Eliezer could obtain
a wife from the daughters of Anayr, Eshcol
and Mamre who aided Abraham in his military
efforts to free his nephew
-------------------------------------------

Here Rashi uses the SPREADSHEET method. Rashi
does NOT derive from the Biblical text that
Abraham wanted Eliezer to seek a wife from Anayr
Eshcol and Mamre. Rather as a matter of plausible
logic if Isaac could not find a wife
- from the Canaanites (not allowed to look)
- nor from Laban (if he didn't want it)
- Then the next logical place to look would be
  the daughters of Anayr Eshkol and Mamre

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi literally says
   ---------------------------------------
   The waters of the well rose for Abraham
   ---------------------------------------

   We have interpreted this broadly
   ---------------------------------------
   Abraham knew the hours when it was easiest
   to obtain good well water
   ---------------------------------------

   Hence BECAUSE Abraham knew the well he
   could feed his sheep properly resulting
   in healthier sheep.

   Avimelech, by taking the sheep acknowledged
   that the sheep were a gift worthy of a king.
   This implied that Abraham knew the ins and outs
   of the well water and was the true owner of the well
