VERSE: Lv06-03b

=============== TO DRESS ON ONES SKIN ===========

-------------------------------------
TODAYS RULE:     WORD MEANINGS
TODAYS SUBRULE:  NEW MEANINGS
-------------------------------------

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE RULE AND SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
One of Rashis main tasks is to explain the
meaning of words the same way a dictionary
explains the meaning of words.

Rashi also explains the meaning of phrases.
Sometimes each word in a phrase has a known
meaning but the phrase as a whole has a NEW
and DIFFERENT MEANING then the meaning of
the individual words

STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The Bible uses the phrase ON THE FACE OF
in connection with people about half a dozen
times.

We all understand the meanings of the words
ON, THE, FACE. However we DO NOT understand
the meaning of the WHOLE PHRASE: ON THE FACE OF.

Rashi explains that ON THE FACE OF when used
in connection with people means DURING THE
LIFETIME.

Hence Rashi translates Nu03-04:
-----------------------------------------
And Aarons children, Elazar and Ithamar
were Priested DURING THEIR FATHERS
LIFETIME (Literally ON THE FACE OF
THEIR FATHER)
-----------------------------------------

Todays example is presented in the list below
=================================================
VERSE    Text of verse with verb DRESS*1
======== ========================================
Lv06-03b He will DRESS in linen pants ON HIS SKIN
Lv16-03  .........linen pants will be ON HIS SKIN
Jb07-05  MY SKIN has DRESSED in worms
-------  ----------------------------------------
Gn27-15  She DRESSED her son with Esauvs clothes
Gn38-19  She DRESSED her widow clothes
Gn41-42  The King DRESSED JOSEPH in Linen clothes

NOTES
-----
*1 Notice that the verb DRESS hardly ever takes
   on an INDIRECT OBJECT. In fact in only 3
   verses (as shown on top) do we have the phrase
   DRESS ON HIS SKIN. Rashi interprets this to
   mean that there was nothing separating the
   Priest body and skin.

   Rashis derivation is NOT from the extra words
   but rather from the anomaly that WHAT YOU
   DRESS ON (the skin) is hardly ever mentioned.
