BACKGROUND ---------- It is well known that Hebrew consists of 3 letter roots. Each 3 letter root is assigned a meaning. These roots can then be CONJUGATED to indicate such things as PERSON, PLURALITY, GENDER etc. There are many books which contain rules of conjugation. THE TEXT -------- The Hebrew root Shin-Lamed-Chet has 10 meanings. It is natural to try to group similar meanings together. THE BASIC RULE -------------- -- in the ACTIVE MODE, Shlach, means TO SEND -- in the INTENSIVE MODE, Shlach, means TO LET GO -- in the CAUSATIVE MODE, Shlach, means to INCITE THE LIST -------- Today we present 4 Rashis commenting on Shlach in the causative mode where it means to LET OUT or TO ESCORT (Something done when LETTING PEOPLE OUT). Footnote *2 lists 6 additional meanings brought by the Radack which Rashi does not comment on. For example Shlach means TO DIVORCE, that is, LETTING OUT your wife. Here is the list. | ||||

*1 This meaning is pointed out both by Rashi and Radack *2 The Radack also lists the following meanings of Sh-L-Ch in the intensive(These meanings do not occur in Rashi). The intensive form of Shin-Lamed-Chet can also mean ------------------------------------------------------ MEANING CONNECTION VERSE SAMPLE TEXT ----------- ----------- -------- --------------------- Divorce Let out Dt24-01 & he divorces her Table Place OUT Ez41-22 ..the tables EXTEND Hand Let it OUT Ex02-09 LET her hand OUT Branch out Branch OUT Ps80-12 ..branches BRANCH OUT Sword Like branch 2C23-10 each had his sword Canal Branchs OUT Isa08-06 the CANAL waters ------------------------------------------------------ With regard to the last meaning -- CANAL -- it occurs only once in Tenach. Radack suggests that its etymology is due to the fact that CANALS BRANCH OUT. I would add that these irrigation canals irrigate LONG BRANCHES and SHOOTS that hang out in gardens. | ||||
