EXAMPLE 1: Nu05-18b He shall EXPOSE her hair EXAMPLE 2: Nu06-05b Let his hair BE EXPOSED (i.e. GROW WILD*1) BACKGROUND ---------- One of Rashis functions is to explain the meaning of words, the same way a dictionary explains words. THE ROOT -------- In this module we explain the meaning of the root, PRA, PAY-RESH-AYIN. THE RADACK ---------- The RADACK in his book ROOTS -- an excellent reference book, which presents the meanings of all Biblical roots -- lists 5-6 meanings of PRA. They are -- to GROW HAIR (eg Lv10-06) -- to EXPOSE (Nu05-18) -- VENGANCE (Dt32-42) -- to be VULNERABLE (EXPOSE) (Ex32-25) -- to ANNUL/DESPISE/INTEFER/HARASS/RETRACT (Ex05-04, Ez24-15) Note that these 5 meanings dont seem to have a unifying theme. UNIFYING THEMES IN RASHI ------------------------ By contrast, Rashi suggests a unified approach. * On Dt32-42a Rashi explains that PRA means VENGANCE, by EXPOSURE OF FORTIFICATION -- that is, by a BREAKIN. Note the more focused speficity in Rashis explanation * Rashi presents 2 explanations of the use of PRA in Ex32-25: - The verse can mean the people were DISGUSTING (Ex05-04) - The verse can mean the people were EXPOSED/VULNERABLE(Ex32-25) Thus Rashi hints at a unified meaning of EXPOSED THE LISTS --------- We present 2 lists. LIST 1, which will last 2 days, will review all 5-6 meanings of PRA, as presented by RADACK. We will demonstrate a fundamental unified meaning of EXPOSURE List 2, which will take place over a week, will review the 2 dozen or so Rashis on individual verses containing the root PRA. Today we begin LIST 1--the 5-6 individual meanings of PRA | ||

*1 WILD Hair growth (PRA)refers to at least 30 days of uncut hair The Bible refers to WILD UNCUT HAIR as EXPOSED hair since haircuts, so to speak, KEEP THE HAIR IN, while lack of haircuts, lets the hair grow WILD and EXPOSES it. | ||
