============= HOT ITEMS ================================ The 6 Rashi Rules http://www.RashiYomi.Com/rules-01.htm ENGLISH RASHI: http://www.mnemotrix.com/metsudah THE WHITE PAPERS: http://www.RashiYomi.Com/white.htm =========================================================

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 =========== As we close this grammar module I bring odds and ends of the grammatical rules. We have already had units on the MULTIPLE MEANINGS OF SPECIAL WORDS. For example the Hebrew word AL has 5 meanings. Similarly we have seen that the Hebrew word EL-- normally translated as TO -- can also mean ABOUT. Today we review all 5 meanings of the word/prepositions TO. Please review the lists in the references for further examples. REFERENCE: ========= Todays unit comes from the following postings http://www.Rashiyomi.com/al-5.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/about-1.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn49-29b.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ex25-16a.htm http://www.RashiYomi.COm/h4n20.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h9n1.htm

ON	Gn34-35c	I will go down to the Grave ON my sons death*2

COMMENTS
1 Another good example of EL meaning WITH would be Lv18-18c ----------------------------------- Dont take a woman WITH her sister ----------------------------------- 2 ON here means ON ACCOUNT OF. An example where EL means physically ON is brought by RADACK in his book ROOTS: ----------------------------------------- 1S17-49 He hit the Philistine ON his head ----------------------------------------- For other examples where EL means ABOUT see http://www.RashiYomi.Com/about-1.htm (Ex14-03b, Gn20-13c, Gn24-07d, Gn26-07a) *3 Both Radack and Rashi are dubious whether TO can mean its exact opposite FROM. For example Gn41-57 can be translated that ALL PEOPLE CAME TO BUY from(EL)JOSEPH or, it can translated by rearrangment (a possibility meantioned by both Rashi and Radack):All People came TO (EL) Joseph to buy). Similarly Ex06-09a can be translated as THEY DIDNT LISTEN TO (EL) MOSES Similar alternative treatments apply to Ez15-29 brought by Radack.
