*1 There is subtlety here. In the PASSIVE mode
the PATACH-KAMATZ distinguishes PAST vs PRESENT
(Nif-Kad=Past vs Nif-Kawd=Present). In the ACTIVE
however PATACH vs KAMATZ are simply decorative

*2 Moshe Silberman, Grammatical Form Konkordance
#2843-4

*3 Moshe Silbernman Grammatical Form Konkordance
#2937-7

*1 Ex30-25c

*2 We exhibit alternative forms that mean
THE PERSON DOING--here we exhibit the
KAMATZ-KAMATZ form

*1 Ex30-27a (The NATAF was a perfume made from bark drippings)

*1 ChelBeNah from Chelev=FAT

*1 There are two steps here
- DOUGH (the object) refers to DOUGH RISING (Verb)
- DOUGH RISING refers to ANY SWELLING

Similarly
- FLY (Housefly) refers to FLIGHT OF HOUSEFLY(Verb)
- HOUSEFLY FLIGHT refers to ANY TYPE OF FLYING

In each case the original narrow meaning (housefly flight,
rising dough) refers to the general activity form.
See LIST050d for further details.

*2 That is the visual form of SCANNING is identical to
the physical form of PLOUGHING(See LIST862d for
more information on the root Shin-Vuv-Resh)

*3 I would suggest that ShaChal refers to MOUNTAIN LIONS
who are known for their agility and swiftness (A Shiny
object exhibits light reflections FLEETING to and fro)

*1 Rashi points out 3 equally possible meanings
- Youngest son (Son born while father  was ELDERLY)
- Wisest son (ELDER=WISDOM)
- Son who resembles father (despite old age he still
looks like son)

*2 This is an example of a DOUBLE METONOMY
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder

*3 NOON is the midpoint between EVE and DAWN. Hence
NOON is the BETWEEN THE EVES.

*4 The context is the proposed marriage of 15 year old
Rivkah to Isaac from another country. The offer had
been made by the servant of Abraham to Rivkahs family

The Biblical text states: Let us(her parents)
ASK HER MOUTH

This is the ONLY time in the Bible that this
phrase occurs(The verb ASK occurs frequently).
Apparently this phrase means
- Lets DISCUSS or LETS GET AN OPINION*10
Such an interpretation is appropriate for a marriage
decision

*5 FIND-GRACE can equally mean I WISH YOU WELL or
YOU WERE WISHED WELL. Rashi points out that GRACE
by itself has this same connotation (Without the
full phrase FIND GRACE). See LIST854g for further
details

*6 Tzade-Lamed-Ayin means SIDE (and hence can refer
to the RIBS). Thus Ex30-04 speaks about the SIDE
OF SIDES--that is the CORNER.

*10 Hence the Rashi on Gn24-57b: The Biblical text
states that Rivkah responded: I WILL GO.

But Rashi, surprisingly states: I WILL GO WHETHER
YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Why did Rashi read such an emphasis into the simple
question and answer
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------

The answer is that the Bible says
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: We will DISCUSS THE MATTER with her;
get her opinion
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------

Thus the context shows that Rivkah was not
INTERESTED IN A DISCUSSION--she had already
made up her mind
