VERSE: Lv08-13a

======================= Lv08-13a ====================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meaning
of words the same way a dictionary explains words.
A key technique of Rashi in explaining words is
clarification of the differences between words with
almost identical meanings.

EXAMPLE
-------
The root Chet-Beth-Shin means to WRAP. Rashi notes
that this root has a MEANING SIMILAR TO TIEING.

By connecting WRAPPING and TIEING Rashi
- enables a person to see commonality in the two
  activities
- Rashi enables a person who never heard of the
  word WRAP to understand the meaning as related
  to SOME TYPE OF TIEING without (upon first
  reading) knowing the exact nuances

This exposure to a ROUGH IDEA OF MEANING (i.e.
WRAPPING is a form of TIEING) is a major
function of Rashi who thereby enables students
without big vocabularies to learn subtle words

The list below shows the multiple uses of the word,
WRAP, in the Biblical context
