VERSE: Gn38-17a
RASHIS COVERED: Gn38-17a Ex12-06d Lv23-05a Ex12-38a Nu11-04a
========================= Gn38-17a ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 primary goals is to explain meaning the same
way the dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety of
vehicles to explain meaning.
In todays posting we present the 16 meanings of the Hebrew
root Ayin-Resh-Beth. We suggest that the UNIFIED THEME is
MIXING.
Hence this root can refer to
-- BAD MIXING--as in CONFUSION
-- NEUTRAL MIXING--as in the give and take of COMMERCE/LOANS
-- GOOD MIXING--thus PLEASANT people are nice to mix with
Each of these 3 broad categories (BAD, NEUTRAL, GOOD) has
many meanings. For example the CONFUSION concept is seen
in EVENING, WILDERNESS, or CLOUDY-SKIES
The PLEASANT concept is seen in PLEASANT, SWEET and POLITICIANS
(People whose function is to mingle with the masses and find
out needs)
The NEUTRAL MIXING concept is seen in LOCUSTS (They travel
in a mixed up manner), REEDS(grow mixed and wild), woof,
commerce, loans,(the give or take of the business world
resembles mixing and intertwining), 3rd world minorities
(mixtures of other people)
Still other meanings derive from these: Thus ARABS are
WILDNERNESS people; NOON is BETWEEN THE 2 EVES (that is
between eve and dawn). See the lists below for further details

GOOD SWEET/NICE*4 Sweet, Politicians, clear-skies*6
NOTES
-----
*1 - WEST is the PLACE of the sunset at EVENING
- NOON is the midpoint of the TWO EVENINGS (dusk,dawn)*10
*2 The Raven is a WILDERNESS Bird
ARABS are people of the WILDERNESS
*3 - LOCUSTS travel in an INTERTWINED manner

- COMMERCE/LOANS involves INTENSE INTERMINGLING with people
The WOOF are those threads INTERTWINED with the WARF
- COLLATERAL is how the lender and debtor MIX to maintain
a connection. The Hebrew word Ayin-Resh-Beth can refer
either to the act of loaning on collateral or the collateral
*4 A SWEET person/thing is someone/thing that is
nice to MIX with. The politiicians are people
that MINGLE (Mix) with the masses
*5 The 3rd world minorities that converted to
Judaism are called
- THE MIXTURE (a mix of minorities) (Ex12-38a)
- The APENDAGES (Added to the nation)(Nu11-04a)
*6 According to everybody the Hebrew ARAVOTH refers to SKIES
- It might mean CLEAR,NOBLE,SWEET LOOKING SKIES
- It might mean CLOUDY SKIES
- The possible meaning, CLOUDY SKIES, would derive
from A-R-V meaning CONFUSION as in EVE, WILDERNESS
- The possible meaning, CLEAR-SWEET-SKIES, would derive
from A-R-V meaning SWEET
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------
*10 Interestingly Radack explains A-R-V=NOON as
----------------------------------
The Hebrew phrase BETWEEN THE EVENINGS refers to noon:
After dawn there are two evenings
- the 1st evening is at 12:00
- the 2nd evening is at dusk
----------------------------------
However Rashi gives a crispier explanation
-----------------------------------------
BETWEEN THE EVENINGS refers to NOON since
NOON is the midpoint between DAWN and DUSK

VERSE BIBLICAL PHRASE TRANSLATION NOTES
======== ======================= ===================== ==========
Ex12-06d BETWEEN THE EVES NOON *3
Gn37-03a SON OF OLD AGE Youngest *1
Gn37-26b COVER BLOOD Conceal murder *2
Ex21-21a DAY OR DAYS 24 hours
Lv13-39a DULL WHITE DULL WHITE
NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi points out 3 equally possible meanings
- Youngest son (Son born while father was ELDERLY)
- Wisest son (ELDER=WISDOM)
- Son who resembles father (despite old age he still
looks like son)
*2 This is an example of a DOUBLE METONOMY
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder
*3 NOON is the midpoint between EVE and DAWN. Hence
NOON is the BETWEEN THE EVES.
