SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals was the explanation of words the same way the dictionary explains words. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. EXAMPLE - Named by APPEARANCE-FORM Dt28-22a --------------------------------------------------------------- Shin-Chet-Pay = BOARD (vs TREE) and PALE vs RUDDY/COLOR The BARKLESS wood resembles the PALE face Here we name by appearance and form (e.g. CHERRY=color, PENTAGON vs UN etc). EXAMPLE - Use of 2 Letter root theories Dt28-22a ------------------------------------------------ Shin-Chet-Pay = PALE = GOOD EXAMPLE(Pay) of LOW (Shach) Shin-Gimel-Resh = CADAVRE = GOOD EXAMPLE(Pay) of ALIEN Pay-Shin-Resh = LUKEWARM = GOOD EXAMPLE(Pay) of SOAKING Pay-Aleph-Resh = LUSTRE = GOOD EXAMPLE(Pay) of LIGHT Pay-Tauv-Resh = EXPLANTION = GOOD EXAMPLE(pay) of SPYING EXAMPLE - Naming items by how they FEEL Dt28-22b,Dt28-22c,Dt28-22d --------------------------------------- - HARDship - BURN - inFLAMmation - the DISGUSTS (=idols) EXAMPLE - Use of CLIMAX Dt28-22e -------------------------------- Punishments - PALENESS - ACHES - INFLAMMATIONS - FEVER - MUGGINGS | ||

List of punishments in Dt28-22:Pale,Ache,Inflamed,Fever,Mugged | |||
VERSE | MEANING | HOW WORDS FORM HIERARCHY | |
Dt28-22a | Pale*1 | Appearance | |
Dt28-22b | Ache*2 | Pain but no injury | |
Dt28-22c | Inflammed*3 | Injury but possibly confined | |
Dt28-22d | Fever*4 | Whole body but natural pain | |
Dt28-22e | Mugged*5 | From other people | |
|
|||
*1 We have justified this meaning in other lists (BARKLESS wood resembles a PALE face) Our sole goal in this list is to view the hierarchy in in Dt28-22 *2 We have justified this word in LIST819a An ache FEELS like the throb of a sudden spark *3 We have justified this word in LIST819a An inFLAMation feels like a FLAME (DALEKETH) *4 We have justified this word in LIST819a A FEVER makes you feel BURNT (ChaRah) *5 Rashis whole point is that MUGGING belongs in this list on grounds of Climax. After being punished thru natural means the sinning Jews are also punished thru other humans |

*1 The original meaning of the word Q-W-M is to AWAKE. From this it means STAND UP. When applied to inanimate objects it refers to a vertical standing *2 Demons in dreams often appear with HORNS Hence it is reasonable to call them GOATS *3 This root seems to be very controversial. For example some people (Radack cites them) suggest that the root is Zayin-Nun (WEAPON) with an added prefix of Aleph. Hence Rav Hirsch suggests that the etymology is PERSONAL (ALEPH) WEAPONS. I would simply say that the UTENSIL BELT with hanging cases on both sides looks like 2 ears on a head. Thus the meaning is based on FORM.*10 *4 The verse literally is translated as follows ---------------------------------------------- So they (The Kehatites) shall not come and look as the holy (objects) are being packed ----------------------------------------------- For possible further examples see footnote *11 *5 cf these verses showing that LOZ means TWISTED or DEVIANT Pr03-21, Pr03-33,Pr02-15. (Rashi cites the French name of these trees) *6 The Hebrew root Resh-Beth-Dalet means - Necklace(Gn41-42c, Ez16-11) - Quilt(Pr07-16, Pr31-21) These are the only 4 occurences in the Bible. Both NECKLACES and QUILTS have the FORM of LINKED CIRCULAR items.*12 *7 The root GIMEL-BETH can mean PUDDLE or HIGH (Puddles are HIGH spots on the ground). I think the HAIR on a persons head and the LINT on a new wool garment resemble a PUDDLE OF HAIR LIKE PROTRUSIONS. Again the emphasis is on naming by form. *13 *8 A BOARD = a BARKLESS tree log looks like a PALE person (BARK on wood is like RUDDINESS on face) | ||||
|

*10 To be fair Rashi explains TWO words in this verse - The Hebrew Aleph-Zayin-Nun means WEAPON - The Hebrew AL which usually means ON can also mean BESIDES. For the 6 meanings of AL see http://www.RashiYomi.com/al-5.htm Or visit the Rashi word page, http://www.RashiYomi.com/words.htm *11 Radack in his book, Biblical roots, lists 3 meanings ------------------------------------------------- a) SWALLOW as in Jr51-34--He SWALLOWED me like a Crockodile b) DESTROY as in La02-02 - God has DESTROYED, without mercy c) HIDE/PACK as in Nu04-20 ------------------------------------------------- It is debatable whether there are other verses illustrating this meaning of HIDE. Radack suggests Jb27-30 and Jb10-08. I would say Is19-03--- ------------------------------ God will HIDE (conceal) their advice ------------------------------ the metaphor of HIDING ADVICE is similar to the tone at 2S15-31. Suffice it to say that there is much controversy on all the proper meaning of all these verses. However our translation of Nu04-20 seems to be standard *12 One subtle point about seductresses using quilts: The quilt is both a COVER and an EXPOSURE (because of the many air spaces in the quilt). Hence a seductress COVERED with a quilt also EXPOSES herself (and thereby seduces). *13 It has come to my attention that we have several lists on meaning by FORM. Namely -------------------------------------------------- LIST VOLUME # NUMBER # ITEM NAMED BY FORM -------- --------- --------- --------------------- LIST804a Volume 16 Number 22 NOUNS named by form LIST814a Volume 19 Number 9 VERBS named by form LIST810b Volume 21 Number 15 NOUNS named by Form LIST813a Volume 20 Number 9 NOUNS named by Form --------------------------------------------------- We hope to consolidate these in the near future. |
