VERSE: Gn25-29a

RASHIS COVERED: Gn25-29a Gn25-29b Gn26-20a Gn26-20b

===================== Gn25-29a ==============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis major goals is to give the meaning of words
the same way the dictionary gives the meaning of words.
Rashi had a variety of vehicles to present meaning.

EXAMPLE 1
---------
Ayin-Sin-Kuph means DISPUTE. Here Rashi derives root meaning
thru roots with similar letters. The SIN-SHIN pairs have the
same root letter (pronounced differently) and should mean
the same thing (Ayin-Shin-Kuph means WAGE-DISPUTE)

EXAMPLE 2
---------
Zod=AGITATED. Hence it can mean COOKING (agitated water)
or HOT-HEADEDNESS. Here Rashi uses the method of UNIFIED
MEANING

EXAMPLE 3
---------
Yud-Ayin-Pay comes from the root Ayin-Pay = Bird. In English
we use the phrase WORKING LIKE A HORSE; Hebrew uses the
phrase WORKING LIKE A BIRD (Constantly flapping the wings).
Hence Yud Ayin Pay means EXHAUSTED. Yud-Ayin-Pay also means
DEHYDRATED (a state of bird-like heat PALPITATIONS)

=============================================================

======================== LIST910d ============================
List of root pairs differing in SIN-SHIN. As can be seen
both roots are similar in meaning*1
==============================================================
ROOT          SIN     SHIN       COMMONALITY OF TWO ROOTS
============= ======= ========== =============================
Ayin-Sin-Resh 10      rich       10=plurality;rich=much money
Ayin-Sin-Kuph dispute wage-theft Both involve property fights
Kuph-Sin-Kuph Quarter trinkets*2 Both are small silver objects
Chet-Sin-Caph withold dark       To withold=keep it in dark
Nun-Sin-Aleph lift up seduce     Seduce=give a person a HIGH

NOTES
-----
*1 The 2 Rashis on Gn25-29a Gn25-29b both describe
   property disputes on the wells


*2 Biblical money has the following analogy with English
   ------------------------------
   Penny    = Perutah
   Quarter  = Kesitah = 1/6 Dinar
   Dollar   = Dinar
   5 Dollar = Selah = 4 Dinar
   ------------------------------
We of course use poetic lisence to translate Kesitah as
a Quarter (since it really is a sixth)

======================== LIST862i ==============================
List of meanings of ZOD=Agitated = Cook(agitated water),agitated
================================================================
VERSE    MEANING OF ZOD=AGITATED is CAPPED-Many Nuances shown
======== =======================================================
Gn25-29a cooking (AGITATING waters)
P124-05  AGITATING waters would consume us
Pr11-02  AGITATION brings disgrace; modesty, wisdom
P019-14  Save me from Errors,the unexpected and AGITATION
Ne09-16  The Jews in wilderness were AGITATED-and rebelled
================================================================

===================== LIST862j ======================
List of verses with root Y-A-F. Unified meaning is
BIRD LIKE. Hence we have
- EXHAUSTED = working as hard as a bird
- DEHYDRATED= having heat PALPITATIONS*1
=====================================================
VERSE    TEXT OF VERSE WITH MEANING OF Y-A-F capped
======== ============================================
Ju04-21  Sisrah had been running and was EXHAUSTED
1S14-28  Army had been running/walking;was EXHAUSTED
Is40-31  Running/walking and not EXHAUSTED
Gn25-29b Esuav had been hunting and was EXHAUSTED*2
-------- --------------------------------------------
2S16-02  Wine for the DEHYDRATED
IS44-12  He will work even if hungry and DEHYDRATED

NOTES
-----
*1 This is a novelty of mine: Y-A-F does not mean
   THIRSTY but rather refers to the more intense
   DEHYDRATED

*2 Rashis point is that ESAUV was EXHAUSTED from
   hunting, not THIRSTY*10

-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------

*10 Rashi states
    ------------------------------------------
    Esauv was exhausted from killing (animals)
    ------------------------------------------

    We interpret KILLING as referring to KILLING
    ANIMALS (not people). Rashis point is that
    Esauv was EXHAUSTED not THIRSTY. For had he
    been thirsty Jacob's request for the birthright
    in exchange for food would have been unethical
    blackmail. Rashi knew that AYF means EXHAUSTED
    from the numerous verses referring to Esauvs
    hunting skills.
