VERSE: Nu06-20b

====================== Nu06-20b ================================

QUESTION
--------
Ex01-05a states that PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING ON THE NILE
But Rashi states that the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED means NEAR.
Thus Rashi translates the verse: PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING
NEAR THE NILE. Is this the real meaning of AYIN-LAMED? Can
other examples be produced.

ANSWER
------
The Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED which is usually translated as
ON in fact has half a dozen meanings in addition to the special
idiomatic meanings it has with other words. Here are some
examples: AYIN-LAMED can mean a) ON, b) WITH, c) AT THE TIME OF
d) TOWARDS, e) FOR, f) NEAR, g) BESIDES. Furthermore in
conjunction with other words it can have idiomatic meaning--for
example it can mean a) DEPRESSED, b) THEREFORE or SINCE.

SEE BELOW                LIST004e
A list of verses         Where AYIN-LAMED-means BESIDES *1

NOTES
-----
*1 There are about 6 dozen Rashis on AYIN-LAMED. We shall
   spend about 10 issues presenting all these Rashis.
   This list will then grow over the next 10 issues

   In this issue we present examples where AYIN LAMED
   means BESIDES or IN ADDITION TO.*10

--------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------------

*10 Note that the phrase
    ----------
    A is ON B
    ----------
    means that
    - A and B are in some type of ORDERED SEQUENCE
    - B is AFTER A (in this sequence)

    Usually, ON refers to a sequence in VERTICAL SPACE

    But ON can also refer to a SEQUENCE in TIME.
    The phrase
    ----------
    A is ON B
    ----------

    would simply mean
    ---------------
    A is AFTER B
    --------------

    or else it could equally mean
    --------------------
    A, IN ADDITION TO B
    --------------------

    or
    ------------
    A, BESIDES B
    ------------

    (BESIDES has other nuances also.)

=================== LIST004e ====================================
 We present verses with the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED

 Previous lists in the LIST004 series have reviewed

 ---------------------------------------------------
 Tody we present a list of verses where AYIN LAMED
 means BESIDES
================================================================
VERSE    TEXT OF VERSE:AYIN-LAMED MEANS besides,in addition
======== =======================================================
Ex29-25a ...offer the bread...BESIDES the OLAH*1
Lv08-28b ...he offered the thigh BESIDES THE OLAH offering*1
Nu28-10b offer the Sabbath offering BESIDES the morning one
Lv03-05a offer the peace offering BESIDES the morning one*1
-------- ----------------------------------------------------
Nu06-20b he shall waive the arm...BESIDES the breast/thigh
Lv04-10b ...offer the skin & flesh BESIDES the head/insides
Lv03-04d ..offer the finger BESIDES the liver
Lv02-02d ...take a handful of flour & oil BESIDES incense
-------- ----------------------------------------------------
Dt23-14a maintain a spade BESIDES your other utensils*2
Nu03-49a from the extra people BESIDES the main count of Levites
-------- -------------------------------------------------------

NOTES
-----
*1 Here the word BESIDES has a nuance of AFTER (that
   is the OLAH goes FIRST and the other sacrifices
   are ON IT--AFTERWARDS and SECOND)

   In fact Rashi on Lv08-28b explicitly uses the
   nuance AFTER (that is he translates AYIN LAMED
   as AFTER while in the other Rashis he translates
   AYIN LAMED as BESIDES)

*2 Recall Will Shulman-s(http://www.RashiYomi.com/h16n14.htm)
   explanation that army gear is worn ON an army belt. Hence,
   AYIN LAMED also means ON in this verse

   -----------------------------------
   (also) have a digging spade ON your
   army-belt-with-utensils
   -----------------------------------

   Rashi in fact frequently echoes the theme that AYIN LAMED
   means NEAR, BESIDES, WITH, FOR, etc and also simultaneously
   means ON
