VERSE: Nu14-14a

RASHIS COVERED: Nu14-14a Nu13-30b

======================== Nu14-04a ========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the clarification of meaning
the same way the dictionary clarifies meaning. Rashi will
frequently comment on special connective words such as IF,
BECAUSE, PERHAPS.

EXAMPLE Nu14-14a-- SPECIAL WORDS
--------------------------------
- EL can equally mean TO or ON or CONCERNING
Hence we have the verses
- Caleb quieted the people CONCERNING Moses
- If you destroy the Jews the non-jews will say
  CONCERNING them that God couldnt save them
In fact EL can mean TO, ON, IN, WITH, FROM.

NOTES
-----
*1 'Bury IN the cave' also occurs in Gn49-29
*2 RDK also suggests 'They came TO Joseph to buy food' using
   an inversion of the sentence
*3 The verse (in my opinion) could also read
        >The Medanim sold him TO the Egyptian (Empire)
*4 RDK points out that the preposition ON can mean both
        >ACCOUNT OF / CONCERNING
        >PHYSICALLY ON
   RDK also gives 3 mores meanings
        >ETH
        >BECAUSE + ON
        >B when it means WITH (But these are all covered here)

*5 In other words he quieted the people by beginning
        >Is this the only thing that Moses did to us
   At that point they quieted expecting to hear more complaints
   He then continued
        >He took us out of Egypt
        >gave us the Manna
        >So he can help us conquer Israel


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

*10 This list presents meanings of the word EL.
    The SOURCES for these meanings come from the
    - Ramban on this verse;
    - Rashi on a variety of verses (you have to laboriously
    read thru all Rashis);
    - RDK in the book of ROOTS.

    The last column in the table, entitled, WHO, cross references the     Rishon involved
    --R=Rashi,
    --N=RambaN,
    --K=RadacK--thus "RNK"

    Here is an example of our notation:The RNK on
    Lv18-18 means that ll 3 Rishonim, Rashi, Radack
    and Ramban use Lv18-18 as an example  that EL can mean WITH}
