VERSE: Nu26-18c

RASHIS COVERED: Nu26-18c Nu26-18b

======================== Nu26-18c ===============================

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.

REFERENCE
---------
In my article THE MEANING OF AKH (Jewish Biblical Quarterly)
I have shown that AKH means MOSTLY/USUALLY. Several examples
are given below

EXAMPLE
--------------------------------
Nu26-18b MOSTLY by lot, with Israel be divided
         RASHI: Except for Joshua/Caleb(Who received fix shares)
Nu26-18c MOSTLY by lot, Israel divided to FAMILIES
         RASHI: Except for converts (Who have no genealogy)
Gn07-23b MOST of Noach remained in ark
         RASHI: The poor ark conditions resulted in injury so
         he lost blood
Dt16-15a Be happy MOST of holiday
         RASHI: HAPPINESS Obligation doesnt apply 1st Holiday day
Nu31-22a MOST of utensil is purified
         RASHI: Except for utensil rust(scrape off before
         purification)

LIST005r summarizes these examples.
