RASHIS COVERED: Nu08-04d Nu08-04e Nu08-04f

==================== The FROM ...TO Style =======================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to present the rules of Hebrew
Grammar. In Nu04-08d we have the phrase that the
    CANDELABRAH FROM ITS THIGH TO ITS ORNAMENTS WAS SCULPTORED.
The Bible simply means that
    ALL PARTS OF THE CANDELLABRAH WERE SCULPTORED
The Bible indicates the concepts of ALL PARTS by using the phrase
FROM ITS THIGH TO ITS ORNAMENTS. This FROM-TO style indicates all
extremes---the thigh was THICK while the ornaments were THIN &
nevertheless, everything, FROM thigh TO ornaments was sculptored.

BRIED DESCRIPTION OF RULE and SUBRULE
-------------------------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals was to present the rules of Hebrew
grammar. These rules can now conveniently be found in many
books.

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
Todays example asserts that a phrase FROM...TO includes a
full spectrum of cases. A useful exercise is to ask
students with the aid of a Konkordance or CD ROM to
find other examples where this rule applies.

TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
The list below shows several examples of the FROM..TO
style as well as why it indicates the whole spectrum.
Rashi himself gives another example (Ju15-05) which
we omit.
