COMMENTS |
*1 Note how Rashi develops a subrule on this verse
The HEY rule applies to places with one word names
This verse (Gn28-02) contains a 2-word name: PADEN ARAM
One needs to know whether to place the HEY after the 1st
or 2nd word. Rashi tells us to place the hey after the
1st word: PADEN-ah ARAM (not: PADEN ARAMah)
