SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis main tasks is to explain the meaning
of words. There are a variety of vehicles by which
words can acquire meaning.
In this posting we review words which are named
because they LOOK LIKE something else.
EXAMPLES
--------
- PACKING looks like SWALLOWING
- DEMONS in dreams look like GOATS (Have horns)
- REVOLVERS on a GUNBELT look like EARS on a head

NOTES
-----
*2 Demons in dreams often appear with HORNS Hence
it is reasonable to call them GOATS
*3 This root seems to be very controversial.
For example some people (Radack cites them) suggest
that the root is Zayin-Nun (WEAPON) with an added
prefix of Aleph.
Hence Rav Hirsch suggests that the etymology is
PERSONAL (ALEPH) WEAPONS.
I would simply say that the UTENSIL BELT with
hanging cases on both sides looks like 2 ears
on a head. Thus the meaning is based on FORM.*10
*4 The verse literally is translated as follows
----------------------------------------------
So they (The Kehatites) shall not come
and look as the holy (objects) are being packed
-----------------------------------------------
For possible further examples see footnote *11
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ----------------
*10 To be fair Rashi explains TWO words in this verse
- The Hebrew Aleph-Zayin-Nun means WEAPON
- The Hebrew AL which usually means ON can also
mean BESIDES.
For the 6 meanings of AL see
http://www.RashiYomi.com/al-5.htm
Or visit the Rashi word page,
http://www.RashiYomi.com/words.htm
*11 Radack in his book, Biblical roots, lists 3 meanings
-------------------------------------------------
a) SWALLOW as in Jr51-34--He SWALLOWED me like a
Crockodile
b) DESTROY as in La02-02 - God has DESTROYED, without
mercy
c) HIDE/PACK as in Nu04-20
-------------------------------------------------
It is debatable whether there are other verses
illustrating this meaning of HIDE. Radack suggests
Jb27-30 and Jb10-08. I would say Is19-03---
------------------------------
God will HIDE (conceal) their advice
------------------------------
the metaphor of HIDING ADVICE is similar to the tone
at 2S15-31.
Suffice it to say that there is much controversy
on all the proper meaning of all these verses. However
our translation of Nu04-20 seems to be standard
