VERSE: Lv13-12a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv13-12a Lv12-02d

======================= Lv13-12a ======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is the explanation of
meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning.
We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING.
Today we examine two meaning submethods of Rashi.

EXAMPLE: IDIOMS
---------------
Rashi frequently explains not, word meaning, but rather
phrase meaning. That is each particular word in the phrase
may have a known meaning but the collection of words
together form a NEW IDIOMATIC MEANING.
We call this the NEW MEANING or the IDIOM
SUBMETHOD.

EXAMPLE: FROM HEAD TO FOOT
--------------------------
Lv13-12a states
---------------------------------------
But if the leprosy spreads in his skin
and covers his entire skin FROM HIS HEAD
TO HIS FOOT
---------------------------------------

Rashi comments
------------------------------------
FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FOOT is an idiom
meaning the entire body
------------------------------------

LIST854y below gives further examples of Biblical idioms.

EXAMPLE: NAMING BY FORM/FUNCTION/FEEL
-------------------------------------
Rashi frequently identifies meaning by focusing
on the FORM and FUNCTION or FEEL of words. For example:
Both the UNITED NATIONS and PENTAGON are institutions
that protect but the PENTAGON is named by its FORM,
while the UNITED NATIONS is named by its GOAL and
PURPOSE to unite nations. Similarly words like
HARDship and inFLAMMATION name events by how they FEEL.

EXAMPLE: YICKY = menstrual
--------------------------
Lv12-02d refers to the MENSTRUAL period as the YICKY
period (Here the Hebrew root Daleth-Vav-Hey means
a general feeling of YICKYness). This of course refers
to MENSTRUAL CRAMPS which is one feeling aspect of the
menstrual period.

LIST819a below presents several examples of naming by FEELing

Ex22-01b HAS NO BLOOD            Is not a MURDERER
Gn37-26b COVER BLOOD             conceal MURDER

NOTES
-----
*1 Some other examples of this idiom occur at
   Ex32-09 Ex33-04 Ex33-05 Ex34-09 Dt09-06
   Dt09-13 Pr29-01	

*2 That is: The animal
   - chews
   - regurgitates the chewed material
   - redigests it
   Hence RAISES ITS WINDPIPE is a good idiom describing it
