By filling in the word the meaning of the sentence becomes clear.

EXAMPLE 127: Gn39-04a Everything[THAT]he had he placed under him EXAMPLE 128: Gn13-06a The [PASTURE OF THE] land wasnt sufficient BACKGROUND ---------- We all know how to make simple sentences into complex sentences. We simply connect the sentences with appropriate abstract pronouns. For example: If I wanted to connect these 2 sentences: - I bought the coat - This coat was on sale Then I would connect the 2 sentences with a word like THAT - I bought the coat THAT was on sale. I could also sloppily say - I bought the coat on sale. It would then facilitate the understanding of this sentence to reinsert the missing word THAT: - I bought the coat [THAT WAS] on sale. THE VERSE: Gn39-04 ------------------ - Everything he owned he placed under him THE RASHI --------- The sentence sounds better if you reinsert the word THAT: - Everything [THAT] he owned he placed under him. THE LIST -------- The LIST below shows 2 verses where a sentence is made clearer by inserting a missing word. | |
| VERSE | TEXT OF VERSE WITH UNINTERPRETED CAPPED PRONOUN |
| Gn39-04a | Everything [THAT] he had he placed under him |
| Gn13-06a | The [pasture of the] land was not sufficient for them |

*1 Gn39-04a RASHI: The full sentence reads ------------------------------------------------------- And the Egyptian master liked Joseph and... he appointed him on his household and EVERYTHING HE HAD he placed under him ------------------------------------------------------- The sentence would sound better if we inserted the missing word THAT. The verse would then read ---------------------------------------------------------- he appointed him on his household and EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD he placed under him ---------------------------------------------------------- *2 Gn13-06a RASHI: The phrase ---------------------------------------- AND THE LAND WAS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR BOTH OF THEM ---------------------------------------- makes it sound like they had too many people and there werent enough apartments. The surrounding context makes the sentence sound better if we insert the missing word PASTURE.The verse then reads --------------------------------------------------------- AND THE PASTURE OF THE LAND WAS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THEM --------------------------------------------------------- Rashi also presents a grammatical argument for the above. The word SUFFICIENT is masculine which could link to PASTURE which is masculine but not to LAND which is feminine. | |
