VERSE: Gn26-21a
RASHIS COVERED: Gn26-21a Gn27-33a
======================== Gn26-21a ===============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis main goals was the explanation of meaning
similar to what a dictionary does. Rashi had a variety of
vehicles to explain meaning including the METHOD OF UNIFYING
MEANINGS in which Rashi shows a UNIFYING theme to the
disparate meanings of a Hebrew root.
EXAMPLE Gn26-21a $@N
---------------------
The Hebrew root $@N=SATAN is best translated as HINDRANCE
In the following verses HINDRANCE is the best translation
-1S29-04 David will not join us in war because he will HINDER US
-2S19-23 David said:Dont be a HINDRANCE--we have won today
-1K11-25 They were a (Military) HINDRANCE all of Solomons Reign
-Gn26-21a The named the place HINDRANCE-due to ownership disputes
-P109-20 Curses on my HINDERERS--who speak badly about me
EXAMPLE Gn27-33a XRD
--------------------
The Hebrew root XRD is best translated as SHOCK/STARTLE
The phrase GREAT XRD refers to SHOCK at the vicissitudes
of human history.
-Gn42-28 SHOCK/STARTLE at PAYMENT MONEY NOT DELIVERED
-Ex19-16 SHOCK/STARTLE at LOUD Trumpet blasts
-Ru03-07 SHOCK/STARTLE at finding a women in his bedroom
-1S16-04 SHOCK/STARTLE at visit of prophet SAMUEL
-2S17-02 SHOCK/STARTLE at Sudden army overtaking by night
-1S14-15 SHOCK/STARTLE at military loss of 20 soldiers
-Gn27-33a SHOCK/STARTLE at appearance of Esau after he left!
-Dn10-07 SHOCK/STARTLE from great prophetic vision

VERSE TEXT OF VERSE WITH TRANSLATION OF $@n=hinder CAPPED
======== =======================================================
1S29-04 David will not join us in war because he will HINDER US
2S19-23 David said:Dont be a HINDRANCE--we have won today
1K11-25 They were a (Military) HINDRANCE all of Solomons Reign
Gn26-21a They named the place HINDRANCE-due to ownership dispute
P109-20 Curses on my HINDERERS*1--who speak badly about me
NOTES
-----
*1 So the infamous $@N is NOT an Angel of destruction. Rather
he is an angle of HINDRANCE--testing us to see if we serve
God when things dont go smoothly. This is best seen in
the book of JOB--SATAN can hinder Job but not kill him.
Perhaps this is the reason that SATAN is associated with
those sexual practices that people do when under severe
hindrance.

Dn10-07 SHOCK/STARTLE great prophetic vision*1
NOTES
-----
*1 A peach of a Rashi showing the beautiful harmony between
- the simple meaning of the text
- the so called midrashic meaning of the text
Rashi states
--------------------------------------------------
XRD means STARTLED/SHOCKED (Rashi-is-Simple...Esauv
had just left...so his reappearance STARTLED Isaac)
--------------------------------------------------
But Rashi then continues
--------------------------------------------------
And the Midrash states that ISAAC saw HELL and
hence the word XRD
--------------------------------------------------
But neither the Midrash nor Rashi can go against
the above list...XRD means STARTLE not the sight
of hell.
But Rashi comments on TWO items in the verse. For
although there are many verses with the root XRD
only TWO verses contain the phrase GREAT XRD--
GREAT STARTLE.
Dn10-07 contains the phrase GREAT STARTLE when
speaking about the great vision of the 4
terror beasts. So quite simply....Isaac didnt
exactly see hell but he saw he was lied to and
he understood that he had witnessed the power
of the 4 terror beasts (Esauv is identified with
Rome which is considered the 4th)
Note the great beauty of this Rashi--both comments
- XRD=startle
- GREAT XRD = startle at shock of history
are
- the simple meaning of the text
- backed up by lists.
There is no SIMPLE vs HOMILETIC meaning..rather
there is simply the text and its clear and
unambiguous nuances!
Understand this for Rashi never states anything
but the simple meaning of the text.
