BACKGROUND ---------- The Hebrew root Kaph-Pay-resh has about 12 meanings: These include atone, tar, lion, perfume...etc REFERENCES ---------- Both Radack in his book ROOTS and Rashi discuss the multiple meanings of this root. THE LISTS --------- In unit 1 of this module we saw that KOFER can refer to a jagged tar like covering. In unit 2 we saw that just as TO DUST can remove TO REMOVE DUST so to TO TAR can mean to VIGOROUSLY CLEAN TAR LIKE stains. Rashi lists two METHODS of cleaning spiritual tar like stains. | ||
| VERSE | MEANING | TEXT OF VERSE |
| Lv16-10b | Atone | Atone by CONFESSION*3 |
| Nu35-31a | Ransom | Atone by MONEY*3 |
| COMMENTS | ||
*3 We have noted that ATONE means to VIGOROUSLY CLEAN
a SIN whose effects stick like TAR.
So it remains to explain HOW to clean VIGOROUSLY.
Rashi leaves us with two methods
-- vigorously atone by verbal confession(The embarassment
cleanses the soul from its tar like tie to the sin)
-- vigorously atone by ransom (ala King Solomon who
said that MONEY ANSWERS ALL (Ecclesiastes)
