*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 We ASKED you to go but didnt HARASS you till you went

*2 The point being that the city wasnt named for the symbolic
use of SEVEN (SHIVAH) lambs to seal the treaty(BUt rather
the SEVEN lambs symbolically affirm the OATH=SHEVA for
which the city was named)

*3 Gn27-27b refers to a BLESSED FRAGRANT FIELD while Lv23-40
refers to a TREE OF SPLENDOR.*10


---------------------  LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------

*10 Rashi uses the languages
-------------------------------
this refers to an APPLE orchard
-------------------------------

But apple orchards are not known for their fragrance.
Rather the reference is probably to an
--------------
ETHROG orchard
--------------
which has a characteristic hypnotic fragrance. The
Hebrew word for ETHROG is GOLDEN APPLE.(The beauty
of fragrance of an ETHROG ORCHARD was mentioned by
the Rav, Rabbi Soloveitchick).

*11 Rashi citing the Talmud states
-------------------------------------------------------
Jacob came whole
- from LIMP
- from Monetary gifts to Esauv(Jacob had all his money)
- with all his learning
-------------------------------------------------------

But there 3 items all emanate from Gn32-32 where we
are told that Jacob fought with an angel and won.

Since he won
- he did not lose money
- he did not lose his Jewishness

*1 The 2 Rashis on Gn25-29a Gn25-29b both describe
property disputes on the wells, Hence the two roots
- Ayin-Shin-Kaph=Withold wages
- Ayin-Sin-Kaph=dispute


*2 Biblical money has the following analogy with English
------------------------------
Penny    = Perutah
Quarter  = Kesitah = 1/6 Dinar
Dollar   = Dinar
5 Dollar = Selah = 4 Dinar
------------------------------
We of course use poetic lisence to translate Kesitah as
a Quarter (since it really is a sixth)

*3 This is an example of naming by APPEARANCE
See LIST810b for further examples

*4 Both these roots are extremely rare. I translate
- Pr22-21 To teach you the BEAUTY of truth
- P060-06 Gave victory--in order to ADORN us
--------------------------------------------
- Gn33-19a Paid for it with 100 Ornaments*10
--------------------------------------------

*10 In old times there was no paper money. So money
was by the weight/size of silver and gold.

Hence a a SILVER ORNAMENT was typically the size
between a penny and dollar. Talmudic measurements
indicate that
- a PENNY=weight of half a wheat grain in silver
- ORNAMENT=32 pennies (Size of typical beads)
- DOLLAR = 6 ORNAMENTS

Here the terms PENNY/ORNAMENT/DOLLAR are used
figuratively to refer to units of Biblical
currency

*1 Thus "whoever see the humiliating Adulterous wife rite"
will be so shocked that he will abstain from wine

Similarly "Judah advised his brothers to sell Joseph"
and so when they regretted it they blaimed him and he
had to "separate from them."

Similarly "Sarah died" from the shock that "Abraham
offered Isaac."

*2 In other words because the snake saw Adam and Eve naked
therefore he became Jealous and wanted Adam killed so
he could marry Eve.

ALthough this sounds a bit wild there is strong supporting
evidence. Gn04-01 uses the past perfect form
"And Adam HAD BEEN FAMILIAR with his wife & they had
a child"
So the sequence of chapters is
"Adam was lonely"
"God makes Eve"
"Adam and Eve are naked"
------------------------"Snake tempts Eve"
"Adam has a child with Eve"
Thus the sequence of chapters (Naked--->child) is
clearly interrupted by the Snake story.

*3 As explained above Rashi sees these two views as
complementary
- First they drank wine and got drunk
- While drunk they thought it permissable to offer
sacrifices which should not be offered
Hence they died for both crimes

*4 Rashi explains the Causal connection
- when the masses see that God EVEN kills the righteous
for sins
- then they are aware how they must also observe
Gods commandments
- This leads to more honor for God

*5 So GOOD NEWS facilitates/causes SMOOTH TRAVEL(Rashi)

*1 Here is the way to use this list. We use the first row

Verse Column
------------
First we look up the verse Ex19-22a AND ALSO THE PRIESTS
WILL SEPARATE.

Text Column
-----------
We see the text---- PRIESTS separate.

Also Column
-----------
This column indicates that ALSO includes the FIRSTBORN
(who functioned as priests).

So the verse is read as follows
--------------------------------------------
God told Moses: The Priests ALSO (besides the firstborn)
will separate
--------------------------------------------

In other words the word ALSO is interpreted to include
the FIRSTBORN besides the PRIEST. The FIRSTBORN are
EXTRA to the priest.

To make this easier to see I have CAPPED both FIRSTBORN
and PRIESTS.

*2 So here without the word ALSO I would say that God punishes
nations which subjugate us. With the word ALSO I say that God
both punishes the nation AND with 10 plagues AND with letting
the Jews out with wealth.

*3 God criticized Moses for wanting an IMMEDIATE fulfillment
of the prophecy that the Jews will be redeemed. God said
I ALSO gave prophecies to the Patriarchs (And they did
not demand immediate fulfillment)

*4 7:2--7 Kosher animals vs 2 non-kosher animals--
is only mentioned by the ANIMALS. The word ALSO
implies the 7:2 ratio was preserved by the birds ALSO.

*5 Just as when Sarah couldn't have children she gave her
husband(Abraham) her maid (Hagar) so too when Rachel
could have children she gave her husband her maid

*6 Laban had tricked Jacob into marrying Leah vs. Rachel.

*7 Jacob had tricked Isaac into blessing him. Isaac says
he is ALSO blessed. In other words, EVEN if he hadnt
tricked me he would still be blessed.

*8 The Non-jews complained about the lack of food in
the desert. The verse continues THEY RETURNED AND
COMPLAINED, ALSO THE JEWS. The word ALSO connotes
that the Jews complained with the same cynicism
as the non-jews.

*9 Gn21-27 confirms this since it states
------------------------------------------------
Who would have expected Sarah to NURSE CHILDREN
------------------------------------------------
The plural CHILDREN connotes that Sarah nursed
the children of several women at the birthday
party.

*10 The three methods are
- ALSO connotes an EXTRA extraneous object
- ALSO connotes a DERIVED object
- ALSO connotes a SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP or method

See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/dt23-19c.htm
for a previous presentation of this list

*11 The argument is that if
- Esauv tries to Kill Jacob
- Jacob will defend himself and kill Esauv first
- But then Esauv-s followers will kill Jacob
- And Jacobs followers will kill Esauvs followers
- and the two groups of followers will fight

Rashi cites an obscure Talmudic passage from Sotah that
both Jacob and Esauv died on the same day---but this
Homily is clearly allegorical--furthermore the Talmud
refutes this and claims that they were buried on the
same day (But died on different days)

*1 So the infamous $@N is NOT an Angel of destruction. Rather
he is an angle of HINDRANCE--testing us to see if we serve
God when things dont go smoothly. This is best seen in
the book of JOB--SATAN can hinder Job but not kill him.
Perhaps this is the reason that SATAN is associated with
those sexual practices that people do when under severe
hindrance.

*1 A peach of a Rashi showing the beautiful harmony between
- the simple meaning of the text
- the so called midrashic meaning of the text

Rashi states
--------------------------------------------------
XRD means STARTLED/SHOCKED (Rashi-is-Simple...Esauv
had just left...so his reappearance STARTLED Isaac)
--------------------------------------------------

But Rashi then continues
--------------------------------------------------
And the Midrash states that ISAAC saw HELL and
hence the word XRD
--------------------------------------------------

But neither the Midrash nor Rashi can go against
the above list...XRD means STARTLE not the sight
of hell.

But Rashi comments on TWO items in the verse. For
although there are many verses with the root XRD
only TWO verses contain the phrase GREAT XRD--
GREAT STARTLE.

Dn10-07 contains the phrase GREAT STARTLE when
speaking about the great vision of the 4
terror beasts. So quite simply....Isaac didnt
exactly see hell but he saw he was lied to and
he understood that he had witnessed the power
of the 4 terror beasts (Esauv is identified with
Rome which is considered the 4th)

Note the great beauty of this Rashi--both comments
- XRD=startle
- GREAT XRD = startle at shock of history
are
- the simple meaning of the text
- backed up by lists.
There is no SIMPLE vs HOMILETIC meaning..rather
there is simply the text and its clear and
unambiguous nuances!

Understand this for Rashi never states anything
but the simple meaning of the text.
