Hi everybody

I am writing from Denver airport

My normal template will resume tomorrow

If you like this template let me know

===========
Recall we are giving examples of Rashis naming objects
by their properties without explicitly saying what they are

For example: AZURE (Techeleth) refers to a GARMENT
that is AZURE(Sky blue). Thus the object is designated by
its PROPERTY--sky blue/azure--but the object is not
designated by what it is--A GARMENT--

EXAMPLE #38: Lv05-24a
=====================
BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is  talking about Business Investments.

In an investment I FIRST put down some investment amount
and THEN, AFTERWARDS, receive INTEREST

THE VERSE/RASHI: The word FIRST designates the PRINCIPLE
---------------  or the investment amount. This  is
in contrast to the interest which comes 2nd or afterwards

Thus this Rashi is another example of something designated
by a PROPERTY--the principle is FIRST while the interest
is SECOND--rather than by what it is -- an INVESTENT.



EXAMPLE 39: Ex15-20c
====================

The hebrew root Tav-Pay refers to a POUNDING activity.
For example, mourning people may pound themselves in
regret.

A noun form of this verb could refer to ANYTHING that
involved in pounding---it could for example refer to a
--hammer
--murder (pound his head in )
--musical percussion instruments like drum, cymbals etc

It so happens that the word TOF refers to DRUMS and CYMBALS
--musical instruments that are POUNDED.

Again we have here an example of a Rashi that designates
an object--the DRUM--not by what it is-- a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
--but rather by the particular properties of this type
of musical instrument--the DRUM is that instrumentthat
you POUND
