VERSE: Gn49-05b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-05b Gn49-05c

========================= Gn49-05b ==========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain the meaning of
words the same way the dictionary does.

EXAMPLE
-------
The Biblical phrase TOOLS OF VIOLENCE means a VIOLENT
CRIMINAL PERSONALITY.

EXAMPLE
-------
The Biblical root Caph-Resh which means the melting
pot also refers to SOJOURNSHIP/ALIENSHIP.

Hence the Rashi on Gn49-05: The Biblical phrase
IN SOJOURNSHIP THEY USED UTENSILS OF VIOLENCE means
that while in a helpless state(powerless and their
sister was raped) they resorted to violence (instead
of faith).

NOTES
-----
*1 Many examples in this list come from previous
   list in the metonomy series (LIST871a,
   LIST871b, LIST871c)

*2 See LIST871e for 6 Rashis mentioning this HAND=DOMAIN
   theme

*3 See LIST871f for verses where NSA means GIFT

*4 Rashi citing the Midrash Rabbah states
   -------------------------------------
   Your violence is something you VIOLATED
   from Esauv (You are killing like Esauv)
   -------------------------------------

   But I see no reason to see this Midrash
   as the PRIMARY simple meaning of the
   verse. The PRIMARY meaning of the verse
   is that Shimon and Levi were criminals
   The Midrash is simply adding a pun to this
   observation.

========================= LIST862s =======================
List of meanings of root Caph-Resh = Big Melting Pot*1
==========================================================
VERSE   TEXT OF VERSE WITH MEANING OF caph-resh in CAPS
======= ==================================================
Dt04-02 I have taken you from Egypt, the great MELTING POT
2C02-09 20,000 KORs (1 KOR=Volume of 4,320 eggs)
Ez21-35 The land of your SOJOURNINGS

NOTES
-----
*1 The primary meaning is a BIG MEASURE (4,320 eggs)
   - Hence it can mean MELTING POT (Since you need
     a big pot to melt items)
   - MELTING POT refers to SOJOURNSHIP since being
     an alien is like being a "fish" in a big tank
