*1 Notice the blatant difference---SAY A NAME
vs CALL A NAME. The list shows that CALL A
NAME is the normal way of giving a name.
The phrase SAY A NAME is anamolous. It is
therefore the ALIGNMENT that drives Rashi
to emphasize the nuances of SAY vs CALL---
Rashi emphasizes that CALL vs SAY can just
refer to the NAME itself while SAY refers
to the underlying thoughts and reasons
behind the words. Hence Rashi states
-------------------------------------
People will no longer nickname you
the GRABBER=JACOB but rather will nickname
you the FIGHTER = ISRAEL because you
have fought with leaders and men and succeeded
--------------------------------------

It is important to emphasize here that this
Rashi is NOT an example of WORD MEANING---
the phrase SAY A NAME by itself would not
justify looking into the reasons for the naming;
it is rather the ALIGNMENT which emphasizes
the contrastive nuances of SAY vs CALL and requires
us to look at reasons.

*1 He founded a Society of God which is alluded to in Judges

*2 Rashi gives 3 explanations/illustrations of personal use
- from your money
- your trumpets (no one else can use them)
- they will trumpet before you as a sign of honor

*3 Jacob was limping; the fast sun-rise gave warmth which
facilitated his recovery.

*1 Ex13-20 Jews journeyed from Succoth after Exodus
Ex12-27 Exodus: Jews go from Raamsayth to Succoth
Nu33-05 Exodus, Then Raamsayth, THen Succoth
The point is that Nu33-05 makes it clear that
there were 3 places
- Exodus FROM Egypt
- TO Raamsayth
- TO Succoth.
Ex13-20 only mentions 2 of the places
Ex12-27 makes it sound like they left EGYPT, ie
they left RAAMSAYTH.
It is in fact common for places to have multiple
names. So Nu33-05 illumines that there were 3
distinct places

*2 Also see Ex30-11:16 which prohibits DIRECTLY
counting people. Instead, we must count the
COINS of each person and from this infer
the total count.

*3 Nu17-05 further illumines by calling it a MEMORIAL
Thus we have SYMBOL MEMORIAL BANNER.
Since NAYS means BANNER it refers to anything
that ATTRACTS attention such as SYMBOLS or
MIRACLES

*4 In this example the Hebrew word TaMid can mean
either CONTINUAL or CONTINUOUS depending on context.

*5 Rashi extends the meaning of GIFT TO THE DEAD to
all BURIAL RELATED MATTERS such as provision of
shrouds and the coffin

*6 Rashi notes that Gn15-17 speaks about
---------------------------------------------------
The FIRE PILLAR that TRANSITED thru the cut animals
---------------------------------------------------
Since FIRE is symbolic of PROPHETIC ENCOUNTER we infer
that GOD symbolically TRANSITED the cut animals to
affirm the CONVENANT He made with Abraham

*7 In the case of sale of estate the inheritance "leaves
the family." To STAND the inheritance is to INHERIT
the property so that the property STANDS (that is,
remains) in the family. [In passing Rashi seems to
derive certain laws from the word TOGETHER...when
brothers live TOGETHER...however I believe that all
the derivations come from the nuances of STAND)

*8 Jr34-18 speaks about treaty makers
----------------------------------------
CUTTING AN ANIMAL AND PASSING THRU THE CUTS
----------------------------------------

Rashi explains that those who wished to make a treaty
would
- cut an animal in half
- place the two halves down
- the two parties to the treaty would
- walk inbetween the two halves
- [and then eat the animal to cement the treaty]

Hence the IDIOM: PASS INTO TREATY.

*10 Rashi also on this verse cites 5-6 verses to show
that the Hebrew root Nun-Vuv-Aleph means to RATTLE
However the phrase RATTLE THE VOW still needs
clarification which is done by comparing it to
Nu30-09--RATTLE VOW and ANNUL it. Since the major
part of the derivation is from the OTHER VERSE
we omit this supplemental list of verses.

*1 In LIST050d we have shown that the word FOOT can connote
the activity of WALKING and can also connote the
PACE of the walking.

*2 The actual Biblical word used is WORK. However in LIST871d
we have interpreted this as follows
- WORK = BUSINESS
- MY WORK = MY BUSINESS = MY FLOCK
Here, WORK metonomically refers to the FLOCK

*1 The Biblical word uses is ELOHIM which can mean DIVINE entities
or LEADERS. Rashi's literal text is
-------------------------------------------------
YOU HAVE FOUGHT WITH PEOPLE: Rashi: Esauv,Laban
-------------------------------------------------

We think this text corrupt. It should preferably read
-------------------------------------------------------
YOU HAVE FOUGHT WITH LEADERS:Rashi: Esauv
YOU HAVE FOUGHT WITH PEOPLE: Rashi: Laban
-------------------------------------------------------

Here we interpret the word ELOHIM, profanely as referring
to Esauv.

It is also possible to interpret ELOHIM as referring to
the DIVINE entity, the Guardian Angel of Esauv.

*1 Many examples in this list come from previous
list in the metonomy series (LIST871a,
LIST871b, LIST871c)

*2 See LIST871e for 6 Rashis mentioning this HAND=DOMAIN
theme

*3 See LIST871f for verses where NSA means GIFT

*4 Rashi citing the Midrash Rabbah states
-------------------------------------
Your violence is something you VIOLATED
from Esauv (You are killing like Esauv)
-------------------------------------

But I see no reason to see this Midrash
as the PRIMARY simple meaning of the
verse. The PRIMARY meaning of the verse
is that Shimon and Levi were criminals
The Midrash is simply adding a pun to this
observation.

*5 See LIST871g for some examples

*6 This is a common metonomy that occurs in English
(eg America-Americans etc).

Rashi is cute here: He EXPLAINS the metonomy
----------------------------------------------
When the soldiers die at sea their loved ones
back in Egypt also suffer and in effect are
smitten by God
----------------------------------------------
Rashi does not contradict the metonomy--he
simply shows why it is convenient to identify
the LAND and PEOPLE.

*7 The night was traditionally divided into three
times of Guard duty. The GUARD DUTY near dawn
was called the MORNING WATCH (Cf Ju07-19 for
confirmation that there was a BEGINNING WATCH, MIDDLE
WATCH and DAWN WATCH)

*8 The phrases SEEK GOD, SEEK IN GOD, occur in several
verses and denote SEEKING ADVICE OF GOD. Compare for
example (1S09-09, 1K22-08 or even 2K01-03 (Seeking
advice of idolatrous gods). For alternate meanings
see note *10.

*9 The exact verse text is
--------------------------------------------------
You will have to remove the old grain for the new
--------------------------------------------------
This means
---------------------
You will have plenty
---------------------

In other words removal of the OLD for the NEW
is simply something RELATED to PLENTY. The main
theme is plenty.

Similarly the Biblical text
------------------------------------------------------
The threshing season will bump into the harvest season
------------------------------------------------------
means
--------------------
you will have plenty
--------------------
Again the fact that we are STILL threshing when the
harvest comes is something RELATED to having plenty.
The main point is that there is PLENTY.

*10 On Gn25-22e there is a delightful Ramban Rashi controversy
Ramban points out that SEEK GOD can mean PRAYER. Rashi
holds it means PROPHETIC ADVICE. I brought about a dozen
verses which clearly show that
- SEEK GOD can and does refer to PRAYER
- SEEK GOD can and does refer to PROPHETIC ADVICE
- SEEK GOD can and does refer to BOTH Prayer/Prophecy
Hence I regard Ramban not as disagreeing with Rashi but
rather as complementing him. For further details see
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gn25-22d.htm

*11 Clearly the Hebrew YeeChad comes from the root CHAD
which means SHARP. Rashi brings two opinions
- It means HE SHARPED (Mirthed at a SHARP WORD)
- It means HE TWINGED (Upset at PAINFUL news)

But Radack brings STRONG support that CHAD means
mirth. Indeed, in other verses, CHAD does mean
MIRTH (As in eg Neh08-10 or P021-07).

This controversy between Rashi and Radack
can be resolved Grammatically. The grammatical
form of VaYeeChad (Chirik, Patach) could come from
either
- INTENSE MODE of 1-2-Hey roots(Cheth-Daleth-Hey) or
- PASSIVE MODE of 1-2-2 roots(Cheth-Daleth-Daleth)

In the intense mode CHAD means MIRTH(Radack)

But in the PASSIVE MODE it would correspond to
RECEIVING (PASSIVE!) a SHARP twinge at hearing
bad news.

Hence the controversy is on the root and mode
of the word.

This explanation makes both viewpoints respectable
since Rashi would concede that CHEDVAH which
definitely comes from Cheth-Daleth-Hey means
MIRTH; Rashi could still maintain that Yee-Chad
means TWINGED since it comes from a different root

Rashi also points out that the translation
TWINGED would show that despite Jethros
happiness he still felt sorry for the Egyptians
thus showing the conflict between his past(non-jew)
and future (friend of Jews)

*12 AFTERNOON-LIGHT-OIL is an example of DOUBLE METONOMY
See LIST871c for other examples.

*13 Although Rashi comments on the phrase OIL-OLIVES the
phrase does not occur in Dt28-02b. This is obviously
a scribal error. (See sifsay Chachamim who "explains"
why the Rashi comments differ in the two verses. My
point of view is that Rashi is stating the same thing
and through a scribal error the Rashi was erroneously
repeated in Dt28-02b.

*14 The Hebrew root used is Nun-Pay-Lamed.
One naiive translation is FALL.
But EVEN if we translate this way we have Rashi reading
-------------------------------------------------
RASHI: She FELL AT SIGHT OF HIM--this means
-----  She Fell in love with him at first sight
-------------------------------------------------

But Rashi goes deeper. Most people falling in love
do not fall down. Rather they feel dizzy and perhaps
sway. Rashi (as does the Radack) points out that
--------------------------------------------------
Nun-Pay-Lamed has a basic meaning of FALL. However
it can mean ANY RELATED meaning (METONOMY!).
Radack brings as examples
- sway
- being secondary
- military swoop on a camp
- to barge in on guests
--------------------------------------------------

Many other examples are given. For this reason we
have simply translated the Rashi as saying that
SWAY AT SIGHT = LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

*1 eg To FIRE a furnace

*2 Ex16-20b

*3 Ex19-12a

*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
means make them embroidered

*5 Nu04-13b

*6 Lv17-04a

*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
- DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
See LIST814a for more details

*8 Ex29-05a

*9 Lv19-10a

*10 Abstract State

*11 Nu31-03b

*13 Gn13-12a

*14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE
as follows
- FEET describe objects (NOUNS)
- WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb)
- PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial
description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place).

Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions
adverbially as describing how fast the walk is.

*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.
