BACKGROUND ---------- One of the 6 major functions of Rashi is to provide a Biblical dictionary -- that is, to list words and all their meanings. In this module we discuss the root Kuf-Tzade whose fundamental meaning is END. TEXT - Gn47-21b --------------- He moved the whole nation from CORNER TO CORNER RASHI ----- CORNER TO CORNER is an idiom meaning EVERYTHING THE LIST --------- We - repeat yesterdays examples where KYTZ means CORNER - add two more examples where KYTZ means CORNER (or everything) - add a new usage of KYTZ:LEADERS-the CORNERS of the social order | |||
MEANING | Relation to End | Verse | Sample Text |
LEADERS | Social-order-end | Nu11-01e | ..God punished LEADERS*3 |
CORNERS | END OF OBJECT | Ex28-23b | Attached to the CORNERS |
CORNERS | END OF OBJECT | Ex25-18d | Make them on CORNERS |
BORDER*10 | END OF OBJECT*11 | Ex16-35c | Until they came to BORDER |
END TO END | All parts*5 | Gn47-21b | from one end to the other |
FROM END | All parts*5 | Gn19-04b | ..everybody came |
COMMENTS | |||
*3 The social spectrum has two ENDS. Rashi cites two opinions -- God destroyed the ENDS of the camp (RASHI: The RIF RAFS) -- God destroyed the ENDS of the camp (RASHI: The LEADERS) I think the idea of a SOCIAL LINE is well understood and neednt have further comment *5 END (TO END) is an idiom denoting THE WHOLE LAND.Thus Gn19-04 ------------------------------------------ The sedomites gather around the house ALL THE CITY FROM THE END(i.e. everybody) ------------------------------------------ Rashi further explains on Gn19-04b that -- CITY FROM THE END means EVERYBODY without exception -- ALL THE CITY means there were no LEADERS protesting their intended rape behavior *10 For those into Briskian methods: -- the CORNER is ZERO dimensional -- the BORDER is ONE/TWO dimensional They are both the END of the object Neat?! Huh?! *11 Rashi notes a contradiction in the verse -------------------------------------------------------- - They ate the Manna until they came to INHABITED LAND - they ate the Manna until they came to its BORDERS -------------------------------------------------------- We have fully discussed the method of contradictory verses in http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ri-14.htm Here we use the method of applying the two verses to two times -- thus they RECEIVED the manna till they arrived at the border and they ATE the manna till which they received at the border till they came to civilized land |
