VERSE: Lv19-07b

======================== Lv19-07b ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main methods is the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this
the WORD MEANING method.

Rashi had 10 vehicles to explain meaning. Today we examine
the two-letter root method.

EXAMPLE: 2-4 Letter roots
-------------------------
At times Rashi would identify the meaning of a 3 letter
root by viewing the three letter root as composed of its
two letter components and one letter.  By analyzing the
meaning of the two letter root and the remaining letter
Rashi would arrive at the meaning of the 3 letter root.
Rashi believed that for purposes of grammatical conjugation
three letter roots were used while for purposes of meaning
two letter roots are used.

EXAMPLE Lv19-07b PGL
--------------------
Verse Lv19-07 states
------------------------------------
If you eat of a PEACE OFFERING on the 3rd day
(from its sacrifice), this is PGL, it will
not be accepted to God
-------------------------------------

Rashi explains the Biblical phrase PGL
----------------------------------------
The verse means THIS IS DISGUSTING
----------------------------------------

Here Rashi identifies the meaning of the 3 letter
root, PGL, disgusting, as exemplified (PAY)
by the last 2 letters, GLL, DUNG. DUNG is a GOOD
EXAMPLE (Pay) of DISGUST.

LIST910p below presents other examples of 3 letter roots
where PAY refers to an intense example
