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
===========
It is exciting but we are finally completing this GRAMMAR
module. We will publish a grand summary showing 5 types of
GRAMMAR comments that Rashi provides insight on. In the
last few days we will cover about a dozen left over Rashis.

In the last two days of this grammar module we cover the
topic of extra letters & superfluous spellings.

THE GRAMMATICAL RULE OF EXTRA LETTERS


EXAMPLE 141: Gn36-24a These are the children [#] Ayah & Ana
EXAMPLE 142: Gn31-13a I am [#]the God of Bethel
EXAMPLE 143: Ex14-28a The waters covered...[#]All Pharohs army


BACKGROUND
----------
To understand how this LIST is constructed we use Gn36-24a
as an example. The verse Gn36-24 LITERALLY translates as
----------------------------------------------
These are the children of Tzivon AND Aya & Ana
----------------------------------------------

Notice how the CAPPED word, AND, appears totally out of
place and distorts the cohesiveness of the verse.

Rashi suggests as a remedy that we simply regard
this word, AND, as extra. Hence the sentence translates
---------------------------------------------------
These are the children of Tzivon: #Aya & Ana
---------------------------------------------------

The pound sign (#) indicates the place of the missing
word AND (Note how in Hebrew the word AND is represented
by a single letter)

A similar approach applies to the other verses

THE LIST
--------
In the list below we present verses, indicate which letter is
extra and translate the text of the verse with the extra
letter replaced by the #.
VERSE LETTER Text of Verse with Extra Letter
Ex14-28a Lamed The waters covered the chariots:#All Pharohs army
Ex27-03 Lamed Make its pans, forks..--#All its utensils--copper
Ex27-19 Lamed #All temple utensils & all pegs are copper
Nu04-32 Lamed He was responsible for the pillars..#all utensils
Gn31-13a Hay I am #the God of Bethel where you made an altar
Nu34-02 Hay When you come to #the land of Cnaan
Gn36-24a Vav These are the children of Tzivon: #Aya & Ana
