GOALS
=====
This module studies Rashis treatment of classical grammar.
In other words how did Rashi treat the rules you find in
modern LEARN-HEBREW textbooks

TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we switch gears. Prior to this unit we have
been focusing on the grammatical conjugation of verbs. We
now move on to other grammatical areas. Today we study
sentences whose interpretation requires the reader to
fill in missing words.

REFERENCE:
=========
Todays unit comes from the following postings

MISSING WORDS IN SENTENCES


EXAMPLE 70: Ex10-05b and [no one] will be able to see the ground
EXAMPLE 71: Ex10-11c ..and [someone] expelled them from Pharoh

BACKGROUND
-----------
Pronouns in a sentence usually refer to the last mentioned
subject. However context may demand some other referent

THE TEXT
--------
Ex10-05  The LOCUSTS will cover the ground and
THEY [PEOPLE] will not be able to see the ground

THE RASHI:
----------
The word THEY refers to people; it does not refer back to the
locusts

THE TEXT
--------
Ex10-11c PHAROH said: Not so---let only the men go to serve God
& HE [Pharohs staff members] expelled them from Pharoh

THE  RASHI
----------
The word HE does not necessarily refer back to Pharoh. Rather
it refers to staff members who showed people out.


THE LIST
--------
This list will grow over the next few days. The list will
contain verses where words are missing and must be supplied
by context. Today we start with easy examples and show
referents to pronouns.
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE (Missing word is in brackets)
Ex10-05b The LOCUST will cover earth; & THEY[people]cant see*1
Ex10-11c PHAROH said: Not so; and HE [the staff] expelled them*2
COMMENTS
*1 Note if you interpret the verse literally (with pronouns
   referring to the last mentioned noun) then the verse would
   amusingly read
   -------------------------------------------------------
   The LOCUSTS will cover the earth and THEY (THE LOCUSTS)
   will not be able to see where they are going

*2 Again if you interpret the verse literally it reads
   -------------------------------------------------------
   And PHAROH said: Not so--only the men should serve God;
   and HE (PHAROH) expelled them from PHAROH
   -------------------------------------------------------
   Of course it is possible that Pharoh personally expelled them
   Rashis point is that it is possible that someone else (eg
   Pharohs staff) expelled them
