SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 10 main goals is to give the meaning of words the same way the dictionary gives meaning. We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING. Rashi had a variety of vehicles to present meaning. Rashi frequently explained MULTI-WORD IDIOMS. An IDIOM occurs when 1 or more words form a NEW MEANING not directly equal to the meaning of the constituent words of the IDIOM. We call this the SUBRULE of NEW MEANINGS since the words acquire new meanings. In acquiring NEW MEANINGS Rashi frequently used a universal principle of all languages---METONOMY. METONOMY refers to the capacity to name an item by a related item (such as naming a PEOPLE, Americans, by the LAND they live in, America) METONOMY is closed related to SYNECHDOCHE which refers to naming a whole class by an exemplary member of the class or naming an object by a distinguished part of that object. A related principle is the naming by FORM or FUNCTION. For example the PENTAGON is named by its FORM while the UNITED NATIONS is named by its FUNCTION. EXAMPLE 1-2: SYNECHDOCHE - Naming whole by Part --------------------------------------------- The CANDELLABRAH can refer to - the WHOLE candellabrah OR to just - the CENTRAL shaft (Nu08-02c) The TENT of TABLETS or the SANCTUARY FOR THE TENT OF TABLETS - refers to the WHOLE temple - by the TABLETS inside them (Nu09-15c, Ex31-21c) EXAMPLE 3-4: METONOMY - Naming by something related --------------------------------------------------- The Biblical phrase UNTIL IT COMES OUT OF YOUR NOSE refers to something DISGUSTING The Biblical phrase NUMBERED DAYS refers to a SMALL NUMBER OF DAYS EXAMPLE 5: NAMING BY FORM / FUNCTION ------------------------------------ SPROUTING FROM WOMB refers to BIRTH. It names BIRTH by the similar looking SPROUTING. LIST871z presents these and other IDIOMS based on metonomy | ||

*10 Rashi: ----------------------------------------------- Since generally sexually-perverse acts are called EGYPTIAN-LIKE and CANAANITE LIKE we infer that EGYPT and CANAAN were exemplary in sexual perversity. ----------------------------------------------- Here Rashi uses the SYNECHDOCHE principle to explain the reason for naming sexual perversity as EGYPT-LIKE and CANAANITE-LIKE. *11 For reasons of space we have abbreviated. Nu09-15c literally translated states ----------------------------- SANCTUARY FOR TENT OF TABLETS ----------------------------- Ex31-21c literally translated states -------------------------------- The Sanctuary of Tablets -------------------------------- The following terms all refer to the Temple -------------------------------------------- * Sanctuary * Sanctuary of Tablets * Sanctuary for the Tent of Tablets * Sanctuary of the tent of Meeting -------------------------------------------- While Rashi explains the details of some of these terms it seems reasonable to simply view them all as IDIOMS. Some further comments on the terms are presented below. Technically the literal Hebrew term is -------------------------------------- * Sanctuary of TESTIMONY -------------------------------------- However the TABLETS with the 10 COMMANDMENTS are called the TESTIMONY (See Ex31-18 or Ex25-16)Hence we have translated this phrase as the ------------------------------- * Sanctuary of Tablets ------------------------------- The temple is called the --------------------------------- * Sanctuary of Meeting --------------------------------- because God designates the Temple as a meeting place for Prophecy (Cf. Ex25-22) *12 The verse states ---------------------------- until it comes out of your nose and becomes strange ---------------------------- Rashi translates the whole item as meaning DISGUSTING. Clearly this is an example of NEW MEANINGS. *13 Here are a few uses of Pay-Tet-Resh --------------------------------------- * SPROUTING buds (SPROUTING) 1K06-19 --------------------------------------- * SPROUTING(Leaving) from before King (1S19-10) * SPROUTING (releasing) water (Pr17-14) * SPROUTING from Womb (Nu08-16) --------------------------------------- We clearly have here a naming by FORM. |
