VERSE: Gn32-04b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn33-12a Gn32-26b Gn32-04b

========================== Gn32-04b =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
In this posting Rashi explains grammatical rules. In Hebrew,
by affixing a Hebrew letter hey at the end of a word we
change the meaning as follows:(A) If the word is the name of
a place then the word + HEY means TO THAT PLACE. (B) If the
word is a verb then the word+HEY means I WOULD LIKE TO DO SUCH
AND SUCH. (Grammarians have fancy names for this transformation)

Rashi also explains rules of conjugation. Every Hebrew root
can be conjugated in one of 7 grammatical modes. Rashi points
out that the PIEL mode can refer to NEGATION.

EXAMPLE 1 Gn32-04b
------------------
Jacob sent angels to Esauv, TO Edom (EdomHEY)

EXAMPLE 2 Gn33-12a
------------------
And Esauv said I WOULD LIKE to journey with you (NSA + HEY)

EXAMPLE 3 Gn32-26b
------------------
The Hebrew root T-K-A refers to posting a tent.
In the PIEL mode T-K-A refers to UPROOTING (unposting)
Hence the verse: Jacobs knee cap was DISLODGED

NOTES
-----
*1 Hence Gn32-26b: Jacobs kneecap was dislodged

*2 As in PITCHING/POSTING a tent

*3 And hence the piel form of Y-R-Sh means POVERTY (no
   inheritance!)
