VERSE: Gn49-24c

RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-24c Gn50-23a

================================ Gn49-24c ===========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar
the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar.
One grammar method that overlaps with word
meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method.
This method studies how words can change from
OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES
(adjective).

EXAMPLE 1: Gn49-24c
-------------------
Gn49-24c
-------------------------------
they GOLDED his hands
-------------------------------

Rashi explains
----------------------------------------------
- They did the STANDARD ACTIVITY of Gold on hands
- That is: They put a GOLD RING on his hand
-
- So the verse refers to the appointment of Joseph
- as prime minister and the symbolic affirmation
- of this by the King placing his ring on Joseph's
- finger
----------------------------------------------


EXAMPLE 2: Gn50-23a
-------------------
Gn50-23
----------------------------
Joseph's great grandchildren
were CHILDRENED on his lap
----------------------------

Rashi explains
--------------------------------
TO CHILDREN someone means to
RAISE/CREATE them. [In passing
it is the nature of grandparents
to play with grandchildren on
their lap]
--------------------------------

LIST050d studies other words whose meaning
changes due to shift in grammatical function

NOTES
-----
*1 eg To FIRE a furnace

*2 Ex16-20b

*3 Ex19-12a

*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
   means make them embroidered

*5 Nu04-13b

*6 Lv17-04a

*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
   to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
   can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
   - DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
   - TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
   See LIST814a for more details

*8 Ex29-05a

*9 Lv19-10a

------------------------ LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------

*10 Abstract State

*11 Nu31-03b

*13 Gn13-12a

*14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE
    as follows
    - FEET describe objects (NOUNS)
    - WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb)
    - PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial
    description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place).

Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions
adverbially as describing how fast the walk is.

*15 Technically
    - The Hebrew root Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH
    - PATH is an OBJECT (Noun)
    - When made into an ATTRIBUTE (Adjective)
    - Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH-PEOPLE--a CARAVAN

*16 Gn50-23a

*17 Gn49-24c
