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 =========== One of the charming pleasantries of Rashi is learning how the classical Biblical prefixes have multiple meanings (Contrary to what we were taught in Grade school). Today we present 4 Rashis where the prefix letter L means ON rather than TO. REFERENCE: ========= Todays unit comes from the following postings http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ex14-03b.htm |

EXAMPLE 21: Gn20-13c say ABOUT ME: I am his wife EXAMPLE 22: Gn24-07d that God that promised ABOUT me EXAMPLE 23: Gn26-07a the people asked ABOUT his wife EXAMPLE 24: Ex14-03b pharoh will say ABOUT the Jews BACKGROUND ---------- Every Hebrew school child learns how certain Hebrew letters function as prefixes with meanings. Thus - B means IN, - K means LIKE, - L means TO, - M means FROM The school mnemonic is BKLM. THE TEXT -------- But RADACK the Great Encyclopedic Grammarian points to 1Sam26-14 ---------------------------- And Avner said: Who is it that Calls ON the King ---------------------------- Avner points out that L could not mean TO since David was not CALLING TO THE KING but rather CALLING to Avner. Hence concludes Radack we must translate L as meaning ON or ABOUT. In passing a study of RADACK, BOOK OF ROOTS, shows that L can mean SEVERAL things (TO, ON etc). Similarly all the BKLM letters can mean several things. THE RASHI --------- We present 4 Rashis below where L means ON. | |
