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 continute exploring meanings  of the
word TO. TO can mean ON or ACCOUNT OF. Today we see that
TO can also mean ON in the sense of FOR. (ACCOUNT OF looks
to the PAST while FOR looks to the FUTURE). The examples
below will further clarify this.

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

THE WORD to CAN MEAN for


EXAMPLE 110: Nu25-13b Pinchas was possessive FOR God(TO meansFOR
EXAMPLE 111: Nu11-29b Moses asks:Are you possessive FOR me

Nu25-13c Pinchas who was possessive FOR his God*1
Nu11-29b Are you possessive FOR ME

BACKGROUND:
----------
The Hebrew letter LAMED when suffixed to a word
means TO.

Rashi simply points out that TO can also be
translated as FOR. The LIST below gives many
examples. Rashis strongest proof comes from Gn28-15c

THE TEXT
--------
Gn28-15 canNOT be translated with LAMED meaning TO:
---------------------------------------
I (God) wont desert you (Jacob)
Until I fulfill what I promised TO you
---------------------------------------
Indeed, God had not yet spoken to Jacob!

THE RASHI
---------
Therefore we must interpret Gn28-15c as
--------------------------------------------------
I (God) wont desert you (Jacob)
Until I fulfill what I promised(to Abraham)FOR you
--------------------------------------------------

THE LIST
--------
Here is a LIST of verses where LAMED is better
translated as meaning FOR. Besides bringing Rashis
on verses in Chumash we also bring supporting verses
from other books of the Bible.

This LIST will be continued over the
next few days.
VERSE Text of verse with TO(LAMED) translated as FOR
Nu25-13c Pinchas who was possessive FOR his God*1
Nu11-29b Are you possessive FOR ME
Zac08-02 I, God, am POSSESSIVE for Zion(& returning it)
COMMENTS
*1 Rashi makes two points on this verse
   ---He explains that the preposition TO means FOR
   ---He explains that the root KNA does not mean JEALOUS
      but rather means POSSESSIVE. Rashi here uses the
      technique of UNIFIED MEANING. For further details
      on KNA meaning POSSESSIVE with lists, see
      http://www.RashiYomi.Com/nu05-14b.htm
