VERSE: Gn30-28a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv24-11a Gn30-38d Gn30-28a

========================== Gn30-28a ===========================

SUCCINT SUMMARY
---------------
One of Rashis main goals is the explanation of meaning similar
to the function of a dictionary. Rashi had 10 distinct vehicles
for explaining meaning.

Today we examine how one act--for example COMPLETION--can
be perceived from TWO perspectives--e.g. when you COMPLETE
your life you die

EXAMPLE Gn30-28a
----------------
The Hebrew root NQB means TO MAKE A NAIL HOLE. This gives rise
to two different sets of meanings
- HOLE--WOMAN---TO CURSE(Make EMPTY/make with HOLES)
- FIX/SET--fix place for nail; FIX Wages; FIX law;

List of roots with       meanings from 2 views:COMPLETE LIFE/DIE
================================================================
HEBREW MEANS     PERSPECTIVE 1 MEANS     PERSPECTIVE 2  MEANS
====== ========= ============= ========= ============== ========
QDX    sparks    appearance    SPARKling Feeling        Sick*1
XM     heat      Feel hot      anger     feel hot       sex*5
M$L    ruler     Quantity      RUler     QUality        King*3
NQB    Nail hole Positive      Fix/Fit   Negative       Hole*4
TM     complete  Positive      finish    Negative       die*2

NOTES
-----
*1 QDX refers to a Sickness characterized by BURNING THROBS
   like a feeling of SPARKS inside onself

*2 This is a universal phenomenon in both Hebrew and other
   languages. For example the Hebrew roots
   - GMR
   - CLH
   also both mean to COMPLETE/FINISH or TO DESTROY

*3 Note that this double meaning ruler:King exists in English
   also. The King MEASURES how much each of his subjects
   should get

*4 From the basic meaning of HOLE we get
   - awl- instrument for making a hole
   - woman
   - to curse (equals to WISH EMPTINESS and HOLLOWNESS)

   From the basic meaning of FIX/FIT we obtain
   - Fixing a place for the nail
   - Fixing wages Gn30-28a
   - Fixing/setting a word--clear pronunciation Lv24-11a
   - Fixing/Setting a status - (you who are SET at the
     top of the nations (Am06-01) or A new name which
     God will SET for you (Is62-02)

*5 Rashi Gn30-38d*10

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

*10 Rashi makes a further point that the Hebrew verb used
    -----------
    L-IX-MNH
    -----------
    takes on a FEMININE suffix.

    So the PATCHED sticks (Resembling PATCHED females)
    - did not arouse the males
    - but rather aroused the females.

    The males seeing aroused females then had children by
    them.

    All this is inferred from the FEMALE SUFFIX: NH in
    L-IX-MNH
