VERSE: Lv25-31a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv25-31a Nu11-05e

====================== Lv25-31a =====================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals was to explain meaning
the same way the dictionary explains meaning. Rashi
had a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. One
method was to explore UNIFYING THEMES to diverse
meanings of a central root

EXAMPLE--The Root Cheth-Tzade-Resh
----------------------------------
The basic unifying theme is the VILLAGE. From
this using the technique of METONOMY (related
items) we obtain the meanings
- TRUMPETS - used to gather the VILLAGE people
- HERBS - Grass growing wildly by villages
- YARDS - The YARD is the VILLAGE of the HOUSE
(That is the YARD-HOUSE and VILLAGE-METROPOLIS
have the same appearance and relationship)

The 4 basic meanings of the Biblical root
Cheth-Tzade-Resh The unifying theme is VILLAGE
========================================================
VERSE    MEANING RELATIONSHIP TO BASIC THEME OF village
======== ======= =======================================
Lv25-31a Village The Basic unifying theme*1
2C05-13  Trumpet Used to gather the village people*2
Nu11-05e Herbs   Herbs grow naturally in villages*3
Ez10-05  Yard    Metropolis:Village::House:Yard

NOTES
-----
*1 The etymology of ChTZR seems to be from the
   root TzRR (To BUNDLE). A Village is a collection
   of people BUNDLED together (even though there is
   no surrounding wall to the city)

*2 This PERCEPTION of Trumpets -- as instruments used to
   gather the village people -- is explicitly mentioned
   at Nu10-01:10

*3 In Nu11-05e ChaTziR seems to refer to a HERB used
   to spice up food. In Is44-04 and other verses it
   seems to refer generally to HERBS/GRASS growing
   wildly. Thus we might have 2 meanings here. At
   any rate the translation VILLAGE-HERBS to refer
   to naturally growing items in villages seems
   accurate
