EXAMPLE 84: Ex28-04b BIGDAY KODESH means TEMPLE CLOTHES EXAMPLE 85: Lv16-04b BIGDAY KODESH means TEMPLE CLOTHES BACKGROUND: ----------- The same word can function either -- as an ADJECTIVE, telling us PROPERTIES of the noun, or -- as a CONSTRUCT, telling us who the noun-object BELONGS to THE RASHI ------------------ -- To indicate an ADJECTIVE: Use the NOUN-ADJECTIVE order -- To indicate a CONSTRUCT: Use the CONSTRUCT-NOUN order -- To indicate an ADJECTIVE: Use the ADJECTIVE conjugation -- To indicate a CONSTRUCT: Use the CONSTRUCT conjugation THE TEXT -------- The verses below speak about:BIGDAY (Clothes of) KODESH(the Holy) -- The CONSTRUCT conjugation is used: BIGDAY (Clothes of) -- The CONSTRUCT-NOUN order is used: CLOTHES of the HOLY Hence we concluded that the phrase BIGDAY KODESH -- does NOT mean HOLY CLOTHES (BeGaDiM KeDoShiM) -- but RATHER means CLOTHES OF THE TEMPLE (BIGDAY KODESH) That is, the word KODESH here functions as a noun (The temple) indicating WHO the clothes belong to REFERENCE --------- Any standard Grammar book contains conjugation forms of the Construct and Adjectival form. A good abridged source with many forms is the Appendix to the Ibn Shoshan Dictionary volume 5. THE LIST -------- The list below contains some sample phrases some of which illustrate the CONSTRUCT-NOUN and NOUN-ADJECTIVE form | |||
