THE SUBJUNCTIVE


EXAMPLE Gn18-19b Either future/past can be used for subjunctive
EXAMPLE Gn24-45a Either future/past can be used for subjunctive
EXAMPLE Gn29-03b Either future/past can be used for subjunctive

BACKGROUND
----------
One of Rashis functions is to advise us on grammatical rules.
In this posting Rashi presents rules on unusual grammatical forms
for tenses. Recall the fact that there are 3 basic tenses:
PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE.

THE SUBJUNCTIVE
---------------
Consider the tense of the verb SEE in the following sentences
----------------------------------------
Upon SEEING a red light, you stop.
When you WILL SEE a red light, you stop.
----------------------------------------

THE RASHI
----------
The verb SEE in these sentences is said to be in the
SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD. Although one sentence seems to be in
the FUTURE (If you WILL SEE) it is nevertheless, not talking
about ONE  event that will happen sometime in the future,
but rather is describing the consequences ANY TIME this
event happens.

THE RULE
---------
Accordingly,
IF
-- we deal with a COMPOUND sentence
-- describing attributes of an ONGOING or REPEATED activity
THEN
-- we translate this sentence either
------using the SUBJUNCTIVE (WOULD) or
------using a GERUND(Word ending in ING denoting ONGOINGness)
-- & we use either the past or future grammatical form.

THE LIST
--------
The list below contains about a dozen compound sentences
where past or future tenses seem out of place. Rashi translates
these as either the SUBJUNCTIVE or GERUND *10
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE WITH FUTURE/PAST TRANSLATED AS GERUND
Gn18-19b I explain Sedoms destruction to enable COMMANDINGcharity
Gn24-45a Before my COMPLETING the prayer for her, Rivkah came
Job1-4 Job offered sacrifices SAYING, Maybe my childen sinned
Job1-5 The above procedure WOULD always BE DONE by Job
Gn29-03b until sufficient shepards gather for ROLLING the stone
