VERSE: Gn37-04b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn37-04b Gn37-18a

======================== Gn37-04b ===============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the clarification of meaning
the same way the dictionary clarifies meaning. Rashi will
frequently comment on special connective words such as IF,
BECAUSE, PERHAPS.


EXAMPLE
--------------------------------
Very often Hebrew connective words can take
on multiple meanings. The Hebrew pronoun
O-Tho normally refers to the object: For example
------------------
He hit HIM (O-Tho)
------------------
However the Hebrew pronoun O-Tho can also
mean WITH HIM or TOWARDS HIM. In short O-Tho
can refer to any type of participation in an
activity whether as
- OBJECT (It),
- PARTICIPANT (With him) or as
- GOAL( Towards him)
This is similar to the Hebrew conjunction VAV
which can mean
- AND
but can more generally refer to ANY RELATION
between two sentences such as
- OR
- IF
The following verses show non-standard
uses of O-Tho
---------------------------------------------------------
Gn37-04b ...they could not speak WITH HIM peacefully

Gn37-18a ...they plotted TOWARDS HIM

Gn21-02 ... at the time that God spoke WITH HIM

Ez02-01 ....stand on your feet and I will speak WITH YOU

2C18-22 ...How did Gods spirit go from me to speak to YOU
---------------------------------------------------------

Note that in many of these verses the translation
WITH can be replaced with TO e.g.
-------------------------------------------------------
Ez02-01 ...stand on your feet and I will speak TO YOU
-------------------------------------------------------
