VERSE: Lv17-10b

======================= Lv17-10b ======================

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: PLACE FACE
-------------------
Lv17-10 states
---------------------------------------
I, God, will PLACE MY FACE against the
person eating blood and cut him off from
my people
---------------------------------------

Rashi comments
------------------------------------
The phrase PLACE MY FACE is an idiom
meaning DEVOTE ALL MY ATTENTION/FOCUS
------------------------------------

   Hence RAISES ITS WINDPIPE is a good idiom describing it
