*10 The explanation of the list should be clear
- The first column gives the NUMBER of the RASHI RULE used
All Rashi rules may be found with examples at
http://wwww.Rashiyomi.com/workbook.htm

- The second column gives the LIST ID (eg LIST210z) which
contains many examples of a particular Rashi technique and
includes the example presented in the third column

- The third column gives a lightning summary of the Rashi
with particular emphasis on the Rashi rule used.

*1 The verse clearly indicates 2 cases: Kosher vs Non Kosher
animals

*2 This phrase is the same in both verses

*3 Noach took 7 from the Kosher but only 2 from the Non-Kosher
This is further illumined in Gn08-20a
--------------------------------------------------------
Noach offered sacrifices from the Kosher animals when he
left the ark
--------------------------------------------------------
So Rashi-is-Simple...Noach reasoned that God ordered
the 5 extra Kosher animals (over the standard 2) in order
to have animals to sacrifice.*10

*10 In passing Rashi on Gn07-02a comments that
-----------------------------------------------------
God told Noach to take KOSHER animals---we therefore
infer that Noach learned the Torah
----------------------------------------------------

But there are many places where the Torah used future events
to name a concept. This is an attribute of the Torah writing
and does not justify inferences of prophecy or learning.

Rather the SOURCE for inferring that Noach LEARNED THE TORAH
is Gn08-20 not Gn07-02
-------------------------------------------------
Noach offered from the Kosher animals, sacrifices
-------------------------------------------------

Rashi,ibid, states(paraphrased)
--------------------------------------------------
Since Noach was never commanded to make sacrifices
we infer that Noach studied the difference between
Kosher and non-Kosher animals and decided that
the Kosher animals were worthy of sacrifice

Hence we see that Noach employed Torah methods to
make inferences and serve God
--------------------------------------------------

*1 God designated the Moon for holidays even though holidays were
not proclaimed till Ex12

*2 God refers to certain animals as Kosher even though in Noachs
time the laws of Kashruth,presented in Lv11 had not yet been
given*10

*3 The rivers surrounded the countries of KUSH and ASSHUR.
But these countries werent so named for another 1000 years
(See Gn10-07:11 where the people founding these countries were
born)


*4 The verse refers to a conquest of the Amalayk field even
though Amalayk wasnt born for another hundred years.

*5 Moses and Aaron sinned at Kadaysh several
thousand years later.*11



*6 It says that Moses came to the mountain of God even though
the 10 commandments and the revelation of God on this
mountain did not happen for several years.

*7 The spies cut a cluster of grapes to bring back to the
Jews as an example of Israeli fruit. Hence the river is
named by what the spies WOULD DO--they would cut a CLUSTER
OF GRAPES

*10 Rashi adds
-------------------------------------------
This proves that Noach learned the Torah
(Since he had to know about Kashruth)
-------------------------------------------

Not so! The fact that the Torah refers to animals by a term
coined several hundred years later doesnt PROVE that Noach
learned the Torah.

Rather we learn that Noach learned the Torah from Gn08-20
which states that Noach
---------------------------------------------------
Noach offered from all the KOSHER animals, offerings
---------------------------------------------------

Noach did this by himself. Apparently he analyzed Gods
command and come to the conclusion that these animals were
worthy of being offered. So the inference that Noach learned
the Torah is made not based on the language but rather based
on what Noach, of his own accord, did with them.

*11 Oonkelos suggests a different explanation
---------------------------------------------------
....the place of JUDGEMENT, Kadaysh
---------------------------------------------------

- Kadaysh COULD be the name of a place as Rashi suggests

- Kadaysh could also refer to something DESIGNATED and FORMAL
like a synagogue and courthouse. So OONKELOS sees it possible
that this was the place DESIGNATED --that is designated for
COURT CASES

*1 Birthpangs are associated with BIRTH in the obvious manner

*2 TREMBLING and FRIGHTENED are synonyms for the feelings
associated with BIRTHPANGS

*3 DEVELOP is used here in the sense of GESTATE, DEVELOP,
EVENTUALLY COME INTO BEING*10

*4 XWL*11 does not mean WAIT so much as PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT.
This has the characteristic of WAITING but if also connotes
a process of development

*5 A MARSH*12 is the EMBRYO in which river shrubs gestate

*10 XWL is usually translated as LAND or REST ON but the
real connotation is one of DEVELOPMENT. Thus Jr23-19
------------------------------------------------
May these curses DEVELOP (not LAND) on the HEADS
of the WICKED GROUPS
------------------------------------------------

*11 To see XWL as DEVELOP vs WAIT we translate Gn08-10
-------------------------------------------------
After his first failure Noach PLANNED A WAITING PERIOD
of 7 days during which he encouraged the dove to leave
-------------------------------------------------

*12 XWL is traditionally translated as SAND. However I think
the translation MARSH more precise. Thus the statement
----------------------------------------------------
the Jew will multiply like the MARSH by the seashore
----------------------------------------------------
has a better ring to it then SAND.

A wet MARSH of course is the EMBRYO for GESTATION of
shrubs and greenery.

*1 The translation
-------------------------------------
God Remember me since I HOPED for you
-------------------------------------

sounds better than

--------------------------------------
God remember me since I WAITED for you
--------------------------------------

*2 Note the passive tense. The argument is like this.
- The dove left the ark and found an olive
- However it was still wet outside
- So the Dove preferred the ark (Better food, drier environment)
- So Noach was FORCED TO WAIT*10 (Passive) 7 more days
- At that time he sent the Dove out and she didnt return

*3 Notice how the translation reflects nuances of both
- WAIT
- HOPE

*10 Rashi seems to say that IIXL is in the HITPAEL mode.
But no list justifies this.

In fact the conjugation YeeYaChel is the standard conjugation
for Yud-2-3 verbs. If you look in a standard Grammar book
(eg Ibn Shoshan, Tables 5,6) you will find the conjugation
YeeVaChel (With a Vav). But the alternate conjugation with
2 yuds does occur as Radak himself points out (cf.Ex19-13
for the conjugation YeeYaReh).

Let us summarize
- The lists all point to the fact that YeeYahChel is PASSIVE
- But Rashi seems to say that it is INTERACTIVE (Hitpael)

But this is no problem. Since we translate Gn08-12 as
---------------------------------------------------
Although the Dove found an olive branch nevertheless
the Dove preferred to stay in the ark--hence Noach was
FORCED TO WAIT 7 more days before sending the Dove again
---------------------------------------------------

Note how the passive---FORCED TO WAIT---also has
connotations of the interactive mode.

In other words when Rashi says
----------------------------------
YeeYaChel is Hitpael-(Interactive)
----------------------------------

-Rashi was NOT talking about the CONJUGATION of the word,
-Rather Rashi was talking about the MEANING of the word

That is, YeeYaChel which is clearly in the passive has
a meaning similar to the hitpael (FORCED TO WAIT).

I believe this approach completely clarifies this Rashi
It also shows the great utility in using lists.
