A famous midrash says >KI< has 4 meanings. However we who speak English must use caution. I have counted at least 6 English translations. By completing this unit the reader will become proficient in how >KI< is used and will be able to apply these translations to new verses. TODAYS UNIT =========== In todays unit we show that >KI< can mean >THAT< The meaning >THAT< is one of the 4 meanings listed by Chazal.
