10* Here is a nifty example. The PENTAGON is named by its FORM (Looks like a PENTAGON) while the UNITED NATION is named by its FUNCTION |

*1 Rashi supplements this explanation by citing verses where RKA means to FLATTEN OUT(eg Isa42-05,P136-07, 2S22-43, Ez06-11,Ex39-03, Nu17-04, Jr10-09--in all these verses RKA means to flatten out/crush) *2 Perhaps the punchiest example is the following - PENTAGON - named by form - U.N. ----- named by function *3 - STATURE is an attribute of HUMANS - HEIGHT is an attribute of OBJECTS |

Actually we need another step. A verb can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are - DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE - TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising) See LIST814a for more details *8 Ex05-07a Ex05-07b | |||

*1 Rashi states the following: "If MOTHERS make mistakes it is because they raise children; if SINGLE women make mistakes it is because they try to pick people up" Rashi should be perceived as giving ILLUSTRATIONS of why being without children is disgraceful for women *2 Jacob did not NEED permission to leave with HIS wife But his father-in-law would perceive it as STEALING his daughter. *3 Gn27-41 states that Esauv hated Jacob for stealing the blessing. Gn27-44 states that after a few years this hatred would subside. Hence Gn33-09 with its statement I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY confirms these other 2 verses. *4 Rashi is NOT commenting on the MERE coincidence that Shimon and Levi are called BROTHERS in two places. -Gn49-05 talks about Shimon and Levi KILLING and PLUNDERING -Gn34 also talks about SHIMON and Levi KILLING and plundering. Thus the cross reference is clear. The accident that they are called BROTHERS in both places simply spices up the correspondence. |
