VERSE: Lv19-35b


Rashi simply gives the meaning of a collection of terms
The footnotes illuminate how a variety of methods are used
to prove meaning. These methods of deriving meaning include
-Explicit meaning
-Meaning from Context
-Nuances from lists of verses with the same word
-Nuances from other words with the same root
------------------------------------------------------------
Lv19-35:36

Don't make iniquity in
-measurments (LENGTH*1 Measures)
-weights     (WEIGHT measures)
-capfuls*2    (LIQUID measures)

-Accurate scales
-         stones*1 (Scale weights)
-         bushels*2  (Dry Capacity)
-         Gallons*2  (Liquid Capacity)
you should make




Lv20-23...For I DESPISED these nations...
        RASHI: "A-K-Tz" really means HAD ENOUGH OF*3

Lv20-20 ...They will die CHILDLESS
        RASHI: A-R-R-I means CHILDLESS(cf Gn15-02)



NOTES
-----
*1 Part of the method of interpreting these words is to use
   CONTEXT. Since all other types of measurements are mentioned
   (Weight, Liquid) it follows that MEASURE refers to the one
   type of measurement not yet mentioned, LENGTH MEASURE Similary
   from context STONES must refer to STONE weights.

*2 These terms are not exact but were borrowed from English for
   intuitive appeal. Thus the MESURAH is not really a CAPFUL
   which has a technical definition in Jewish Law..rather it is
   a precisely defined minute measure (See Rambam Theft 8)

*3 The meaning of the word STONES as STONE WEIGHTS is proved
   by ALIGNMENT

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lv19-36      fair weights        fair          stones fair gallons...
   Dt25-13 don't have ...                         stones
   Dt25-15                        a fair complete stone
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

*4 The other meanings of K-Tz all mean REJECTING AFTER
   THE COMPLETION OF SOMETHING (eg HAD ENOUGH OF)

4a) SUMMER (Had enough of growth and now it ends)
4b) THORN (Had enough of the Rose)
4c) TO END (After completion)
