*1 Rashi on Lv26-17b emphasizes an important point
----------------------------------------------
The verse
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
FROM YOU: Haters rule
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
has TWO meanings, both of which are true.

This verse has the simple meaning
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Haters rule in you (literally: OVER YOU)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


The verse ADDITIONALLY has the emphasis
connoted by the deviant grammatical order
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
IN-YOU-HATERS (i.e. Jewish anti-semites)
rule in you (over you)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This Rashi emphasizes how
- simple meaning
- exegetical meaning
need not be either identical or conflicting.
Rather the two can be complimentary. In this case
- one meaning is the meaning of the sentence
- the other meaning derives from the deviant order

*10 The words with deviant grammatical order are capped.
For example Lv26-08a states
----------------------
FROM YOU: 5 pursue 100
----------------------

Proper order requires
---------------------
5 FROM YOU pursue 100
---------------------

The deviant order places emphasis on the phrase FROM YOU
Hence the Rashi cited in the POINT OF EMPHASIS column
------------------------------------------------------
Even 5 weaklings--that is ANY people FROM YOU--will
be able to pursue 100
------------------------------------------------------

*1 Some other examples of this idiom occur at
Ex32-09 Ex33-04 Ex33-05 Ex34-09 Dt09-06
Dt09-13 Pr29-01	

*2 That is: The animal
- chews
- regurgitates the chewed material
- redigests it
Hence RAISES ITS WINDPIPE is a good idiom describing it

*3 Rashi, Lv26-17h points out that the phrase
-------------
PLACE MY FACE
-------------
means
--------------
FULL ATTENTION
--------------
whether
- for good, to reward
- for bad, to punish.

*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

*4
Reuven did not actually sleep with
Bilhah. Rather his fathers favorite
bedware was kept on Bilhah's bed since
Bilhah, Rachels concubine, reminded him
of her after Rachels death. Reuven felt
that his father should be living with
Leah, since Leah was a bonafide wife.
Reuven felt it insulting that Jacob
preferred a concubine vs a real wife.
Hence he switched the bedware from
Bilhahs bed to Leahs bed in order
to talk his father out of his behavior

For our translation of Gn49-04 see footnote *12


*5 Gn45-05 also supports this.

*6 Rashis real point is to avoid confusion
The phrase WORDS OF LAW usually refers to Gods words
of law, the Torah.

However in Ex18-19c and Ex18-16 it refers to the
LAWSUITS of the people.

*7 In LIST901i we have shown that the root Pay-Resh-Kuph means
- UNLOAD (in active mode)
- YANK OFF (in intense mode
- SLIP OFF (in intensive mode)
Since the verse is translated as
------------------------------------------
Aaron asked them to YANK the Jewelery off their wives
------------------------------------------

Rashi comes to the conclusion that Aaron was interested
in a fight (YANK off wives) and was stalling for time.
Rashi learns this from the word YANK. This OTHER VERSE
motivates Rashi to reinterpret several verses as also
indicating stalling tactics. More specifically Rashi
explains the following as stalling tactics
- Aaron built an altar---RASHI: To stall for time
- Aaron said: A holiday TOMORROW--RASHI: To stall for time
- Aaron said: A holiday to GOD--RASHI: He was hoping Moses
would return and they would have a real holiday to God.

*8 It was Malbim's genious to bring an extra OTHER VERSE
- Ex09-31 shows BARLEY ripens first in EARLY SPRING
- Ex34-22 shows WHEAT ripens in LATE Spring.
Malbim/Rashi applies this distinction to Lv23
- Lv23-10 describes the FIRST BARLEY brought on Passover
- Lv23-17 describes the FIRST WHEAT brought on Pentecost


---------------------  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

*12 Gn49-04 is translated by us as
-------------------------------------
you played with your fathers beds
-------------------------------------

Note the PLURAL BEDS vs BED...this shows that
two BEDS (not the one bed of BILHAH) was involved

We translate the Hebrew root &LH (to go up) as
&LL (To play with).

- THere are no other cases where &LH means &LL
- but interchanges of 1-2-Hey and 1-2-2 roots
does frequently occur in the Bible
- Finally the verse wouldnt make sense if &LH
was translated as GO UP since the phrase
-------------------------
Go Up on your fathers bed
-------------------------
couldnt refer to intimacy since intimacy
is always referred to as GOING DOWN instead
of GOING UP.

*13 Rashi gives several interpretations of the phrase
-------------------------
seed your seed for nought
-------------------------
The approach in this email group is to consider
the terminal explanation to be the true explanation
Note that this terminal explanation, parents losing
children is consistent with the context of the
verse which speaks about death of people

*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

- 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.
