VERSE: Gn41-57a


RASHIS COVERED: Gn02-19b Gn14-15a Ex02-05a
                Nu19-07b Dt04-38a Gn41-57a



REFERENCE: http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn02-19b.htm


RULE:
=====
Some Biblical verses are best understood by rearranging
the order of words in the sentence

In the following verses Rashi recommends rearranging the verses
words as indicated (The capped words were originally elsewhere
in the verse--Rashis placement of them in the positions indicated
creates a smoother reading)

SIMPLE EXAMPLE
==============
Gn41-57
   The actual verse says
      >And other countries came to Egypt to buy food TO JOSEPH<

   Rashis rearrangement sounds better
      >And other countries came to Egypt TO JOSEPH to buy food<

In the other examples in the LIST we simply give the
rearranged version Those who want to see the original
may look it up



EXAMPLES
--------
(1)Gn02-19b Adam named ALL WILD BEASTS according to what their
            name should be

(2)Gn14-15a HE & HIS SERVANTS split on them-& they conquered
            them

(3)Ex02-05a And Pharoh's daughter went down
            NEAR THE NILE to wash *1

(4)Nu19-07b HE'll wash his clothes-&then be pure-
            BECAUSE HE REMAINS IMPURE TILL EVE

(5)Dt04-38a To CONQUER-nations stronger than you-
            FROM BEFORE YOU

(6)Gn41-57a And other countries came to Egypt TO JOSEPH
            to buy food*2

NOTES
-----
*1 There is some adult humor here for the unsophisticated.
 The actual verse says

 >And Pharohs daughter went down to bathe ON THE NILE<

 Amusingly---she did not openly bathe in the Nile---rather she
 bathed in a bath house that was located near the Nile). Hence
 Rashi suggest the following rearrangement

 >And Pharohs daughter went down NEAR THE NILE to wash<

 Rashis point here is that the Hebrew word >AL< can mean
 >ON< or >NEAR< depending on its position in the sentence

*2 The actual verse says
      >And other countries came to Egypt to buy food TO JOSEPH<
   Rashis rearrangement sounds better
      >And other countries came to Egypt TO JOSEPH to buy food<
