*1  For example the LIST shows that both phrases
- SLEEP WITH
- RAPE
are used to describe an act of ADULTERY

*2 This list shows that there are 3 phrases used for relations
- SLEEP WITH
- SLEEP OF
- RAPE  (TORTURE-MAKE THE WOMEN ANSWER)

Malbim makes some OBVIOUS comments about SLEEP WITH/SLEEP  OF
However as the LIST shows ANY of the 3 phrases can be used
to denote RAPE.

*10 We used a DAVKA CD ROM to produce this list
We searched for
------------------------------------------------
Shin Caph Beth (*Aleph*Tauv or *Ayin Mem*) OR Ayin-Nun-Hey
------------------------------------------------
This produced 130 records in the Bible and Prophets

*11 Rashis literal translation is as follows
-------------------------------------------------------
The Biblical phrase SLEPT OF denotes ordinary relations
The Biblical phrase RAPE denotes anal relations
-------------------------------------------------------

As we frequently do in this list I think the  proper approach
is to interpret Rashi broadly vs literally. We should
read Rashi as follows
-------------------------------------------
The Biblical phrase RAPE (literally, MAKE HER ANSWER)
denotes a painful or humiliating type of relationship
ONE GOOD EXAMPLE of this is the anal relationship
-------------------------------------------

However one is not obligated to interpret Rashi literally
If a student has a different conception of MAKE HER ANSWER
this is perfectly valid.

Such an approach to Rashi is broad deep and mature
enabling fuller appreciation of the Biblical text.
For further details on this approach to Rashi read my
Tradition article at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rashi.pdf

I call this the method of ARCHETYPICAL EXAMPLES since
anal relations is an archetypical example of
MAKING HER ANSWER (i.e. response without participation)

*12 The fact that the Bible in Dt22 describes a case of FORCED
RAPE using the words SLEEP WITH (Denoting equality) has
obvious consequences for rape laws (Rambam Murder 1)
--------------------------------------------------
Rape is determined by initial lack of consent;
not by the form of the act. Thus if the married
women seeing force consents to SLEEP WITH vs
full rape (in order to avoid being furture tortured)
she is still considered to have been raped
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------- LONGER  FOOTNOTES ---------------
*10 This list was obtained using a Davka CD Rom
by searching for
-----------------------------
*Daleth-Beth-Resh Ayin-Lamed
-----------------------------
This search produced 5 records

*11 Rashis actual language here is interesting:
------------------------------------------
The rapist said (to the victim):
--  --  --  -- -- --
Look your father has
small fields; my
father has big fields
Our marriage would
help your situation
--  --  --  -- -- --
-------------------------------------------

But we need not interpret Rashi strictly. Rather
we can interpret Rashi broadly

--------------------------------------------
The rapist tried to convince his victim to
marry her. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE
HAPPENED is that he told her how his father
had many fields while her father had few
fields and hence the marriage would help her
--------------------------------------------

In other words we dont interpret Rashi strictly but
rather see Rashi as giving a GOOD EXAMPLE of the
GENERAL THEME of trying to CONVINCE  her. Such an
approach to Rashi is mature, deep and satisfying; it
contrasts sharply with a shallow approach that
EXHAUSTS the meaning of the verse in the literal
statement of Rashi.

For more on this method (which I call the  method
of ARCHETYPICAL examples) see my Tradition article
on Rashi: http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rashi.pdf

*1 The OVERLAY of a pillar has the FORM of a HUG

*10 List, courtesy of RADACK, Book of Biblical Roots

*1 See LIST854e below for Biblical examples

*2 See LIST854c below for further Biblical examples

*3 Probably when people had a sexual fight (who did what)
they could SPREAD THE GARMENT to clearly prove their
point*10

*4 Many idioms in this list are examples of SYNECDOCHE,
the use of the (distinguished) PART to indicate the
WHOLE. Thus honey is a GOOD EXAMPLE of something
sweet, bread is a GOOD EXAMPLE of food, day(12
hours) is a GOOD EXAMPLE of the 24 hour period. Hence
almost all languages develop idioms: HONEY=SWEET,
BREAD=FOOD, DAY(12 HOURS)=DAY(24 HOURS).

Similarly in the above live SPEADING THE GARMENT
is a GOOD example of PROVING MATTERS (In sexual
disputes), the SUN SHINING is a good example of
CLARITY, GIFT OF HIS HAND is a good example of
a HIGH INCOME LEVEL.

*5 Cf However Lv15-08a Spit ON Him = Actually spit on him
The rule seems to be that SPIT ON HIM is literal
whereas SPIT ON FACE (use of FACE vs FULL PERSON) means
SPIT TOWARDS HIM

*6 eg If I am angry and mentally curse or if I
am angry and start ranting and raving without
however fully articulating everything on my mind
-- in these two cases I may have sworn IN MY MIND
but I have not sworn WITH MY LIPS (Explicitly)

*7 Contrast Ex20-03a OTHER GODS=GODS OF OTHER PEOPLE
vs Ex21-02a JEWISH SLAVE = SLAVE AND JEWISH

Technically the possessive --OF-- can mean
- OWNED BY (eg OTHER GODS = gODS of OTHERS)
- PROPERTY (eg JEWISH SLAVE=SLAVE who is JEWISH)
- ASSOCIATED WITH (eg BELT OF GARMENT=Belt USED
with Garment)

Note Rashi proves the JEWISH SLAVE=SLAVE WHO
IS JEWISH by citing an other verse Dt15-12 *11

*8 For the relationship between TIME and DESIGNATION
cf the English APPOINT-APPOINTMENT

*9 Cf Gn31-35 for the sister phrase PATH OF WOMEN
which also refers to HAVING PERIODS

*10 (The following comes from my article PSHAT & DRASH
TRADITION Winter 1980)

We must distinguish between
- HOW we know what the idiom means
- WHY the idiom means this

HOW we know what the idiom means comes from USAGE
It can usually be inferred from context. Thus
the Biblical verses here state
when a person slanders his newly married
wife...then the womens parents shall sue
him and SPREAD THE GARMENT before the judges
-------------------------------------

Hence SPREAD the GARMENT is simply an idiom
for PROVING ONES POINT.

By contrast the question of WHY the idiom
means what it does is something more
speculative--maybe I am right that frequently
in sexual fights a SPREAD GARMENT proved a
point. But maybe I am wrong...in such a case
I am still sure about WHAT the idiom means.
I am just not sure about WHY it means this.

Another example occurs at Lv23-40a and Lv23-40b.
I am certain that the ETHROG was called the
GORGEOUS FRUIT but I am not quite sure why. Rashi
offers two explanations

EXPLANATION 1:
The ethrog is an EVERGREEN and DWELLS YEARLY
(This uses a pun on EVERGREEN=HADAR vs
HODOR=GORGEOUS)

EXPLANATION 2
-------------
The TREE and FRUIT taste the same; Hence
the tree is Gorgeous.

EXPLANATION 3
-------------
Rav Hirsch offers a 3rd explanation. Rav
Hirsch reviews botanical classifications and infers
that the Ethrog is one of the more advanced
fruits in the tree Kingdom.

I am still not sure WHY the phrase GORGEOUS
FRUIT means ETHROG but I am sure that this
phrase was used to denote the ETHROG


*11
Here is another example:
GARMENT OF CAPTIVITY does NOT mean
- the GARMENT she wore WHEN captured
(That is the GARMENT with the PROPERTY that
it was worn at the time of capture) but rather means

- the GARMENT she put on in case she is captured
(That is the garment ASSOCIATED with the
possibility of CAPTURE)

Rashi explains that non-jewish women would have
special garments they wore in case they were
captured during a war in order to seduce their
captors and prevent themselves from being murdered.

*12 The Hebrew word A-Chu-Zah by itself can refer to
a plot of land (without any additional words):
------------------------------------------------------
Cf Gn47-11 Gave them a PLOT
Cf Lv25-46 These slaves shall be a PLOT for inheritance
Cf Nu27-04 Give us please a PLOT among our brothers
------------------------------------------------------
