This root is normally translated as TO KNOW. But its real meaning is BE FAMILIAR or APPRECIATE. For example Gn04-01 would be translated 'AND ADAM WAS FAMILIAR WITH HIS WIFE' denoting marital intimacy. Those who wish to review all examples should consult one of the following URLs http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ex18-11a.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h5n3.htm #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* EXAMPLES: In the following verses YUD-DALET-AYIN clearly does not just mean TO KNOW. It rather means to APPRECIATE. The point of the verse is not that NEW INFORMATION was discovered but rather that KNOWN FACTS were finally APPRECIATED (1) Ex18-11a Now I APPRECIATE that God is greater than all gods (2) Gn12-11a & Abraham said to Sarah 'Now I APPRECIATE you are beautiful' (3) Gn42-23a they didn't APPRECIATE that Joseph was listnening #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
