*1 Actually Ibn Shoshan gives YiThPaKKeDu with a PATACH
But YiThPaRaKu has a KAMATZ. The patach changed from
a PATACH to a KAMATZ because the adjacent RESH cannot
take a DAGESH

*2 Rashi brought the COMMAND conjugation despite it
being well known because the SAME root is conjugated
in the HITPAEL. Hence Rashi explains that the root
is conjugated twice (within 2 verses): Once in the
command and once in the interactive.

*1 Hence Gn26-20a "And they BICKERED with him about the ownership"

*2             The Hitpael form means to CHALLENGE (that is to
BRAG thru interacting with someone else. Here is
the Rashi).

Ex08-05a Moses said to Pharoh...'you want the frogs removed
...well pick an exact time for their removal and
if my God doesn't remove them by then you can brag
how you outsmarted me'

*3  The hitpael form means --ie TO WALK WITH SOMEONE*3
to FOLLOW HIS WAYS (eg so when used with God it
means to follow a Godly life--(Rashi further
distinguished between WALK TO and WALK OF...but
we have explained this on Gn06-09c)

*4 See Isa12-1,Ps2-12 for verses that show that A-N-F means
anger

*5 That is, you get picky on everything the
person does--you allow, the person
you are angry with, no way out---every attempt at
apology is met with more anger (So you are
INTERACTIVELY angry)

*6 The Hitpael form would
mean to INTERACTIVELY PREPARE---TO PREPARE AS
A COMMUNITY. Thus on Nu11-18a Rashi says to the
community, "Prepare yourself for Gods punishment
for the way you have complained"

Note that this root can also, besides meaning to
prepare, can also mean to DESIGNATE (as e.g.
designating an animal for a sacrifice)

*7 The original meaning of the root
is to prune grapes from a vine.

Hence in the Kal Mode it can also mean to HARASS
To eg continuously bicker away at somebody till
he gives in.

The clearest proof of this is Jer6-9 "And they
will HARASS (Ayin-Lamed-Lamed) away at the Jews
the way a grape-vine is pruned (Ayin-Lamed-Lamed)"

*8 In the hitpael mode Ayin-Lamed-Lamed would mean
to interactively harass---I guess the closest
meaning would be 'to sport' with someone.

The difference between HARASS and SPORT is that
in HARASS you just want to eat away at someone.
By contrast, when you SPORT with someone you
don't just harass someone but you also provoke
them into fighting with you.

Rashi actually brings Lam1-12 and Lam1-22 to
vs Ex10-02 Jud19-25 Nu22-29a to support this
distinction. Thus Jud19-25 should be translated
THEY SPORTED WITH HER ALL NIGHT (vs they HARASSED
HER ALL NIGHT)

*9             Rashi gives the following example

eg When a father wishes to bless his son or friend
he will say 'May you be blessed like Abraham'

Similarly in Dt29-18a we could interpret it as

The person who sins fancies himself as a blessing
to his people; he thinks he is a leader leading them
to peace.'

COMMENT: Note how this intepretation answers the question in
Rashi on Dt29-28a: The NATION is punished for the deeds of the
INDIVIDUAL because the NATION INTERACTED WITH him and put up
with him See a similar theological Rashi on Lv20-05

*10 There are 3 other theories on the meaning of the hitpael
The most popular is that hitpael means REFLEXIVE. I
think the verses above prove Rashi correct.

*1 We do not have a separate list on NBN. Rather
we infer its meaning from its root Beth-Yud-Nun
which means INBETWEEN. The process of analysis
is to identify MEDIATING VARIABLES THAT CONNECT
and LIE BETWEEN DATA AND INFERENCES

*1 The letter MEM has other meanings such as
- SOURCE/FROM
- PLACE
We are only giving a snapshot of one meaning

*2 The letter ALEPH means THINGS or PEOPLE

*1 Equivalantly: Bezalayl had an INTUITION about building

*10 What a charming Rashi-Radack Controversy. Radack in
his delightful book ROOTS clearly gives this as an
example where ETH means FROM.

Rashi in his commentary SEEMS to say the opposite
------------------------------------------------
You followed Gods laws and were WITH GOD...hence
God blessed you
------------------------------------------------

Does Rashi then think ETH means WITH here? It
appears so.

But Radack has an OVERPOWERING argument. ALIGNMENT!
---------------------------------------------
FROM the God of your Father:  He helped you
FROM the Almighty----------:  He blessed you
---------------------------------------------

Radack correctly argues that the two FROMS are
parallel--hence we have to interpret ETH as
meaning FROM. Rashi CAN NOT get out of this.

Ah...but Rashi was not trying to. Rashi was
commenting on the fact that one stanza
speaks about the GOD OF YOUR FATHER while
the other speaks about GOD (And leaves
out the phrase OF YOUR FATHER)

Hence Rashi-is-Simple: Joseph did NOT
rely on his ancestral merit--rather
Joseph relied on HIS God--his own
observance (abstaining from his bosses
wifes overture) earned him the blessing
