VERSE: Lv15-31a

======================== Lv15-31a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 major methods is the WORD MEANING method;
Rashi explains the meaning of words the same way the dictionary
explains meaning.  Rashi had 10 methods to explain meaning.
One of them is the UNIFIED MEANING method in which Rashi shows
how disparate meanings of one root have an underlying unified
meaning.

EXAMPLE: Lv15-31a
-----------------
Verse Lv15-31 states
--------------------------------------------
ELEVATE the Jews from their RITUAL IMPURITY
--------------------------------------------

Rashi comments
-----------------------------------------
The root NUN-ZAYIN-RESH means to ELEVATE,
to SEPARATE to a HIGHER plane.
-----------------------------------------

We present some other verses where NZR
means ELEVATE, RAISE HIGHER. We see this
is consistent with the other meanings of
NZR such as CROWN, LEADERSHIP, HONOR
----------------------------------------------------
VERSE    Text of verse with meaning of NZR capped
-------  -------------------------------------------
2C23-11  They put the CROWN on him...and proclaimed him king
P089-40  You have renounced him..profaned his HONOR to the ground
Dt33-16  ....to Joseph's tip of the head...the LEADER of brothers
Nu06-02  He abstains from wine to ELEVATE himself to God
Lv15-31a ELEVATE the Jews from their ritual impurity
