REFERENCE: http://www.RashiYomi.com/h14n10.htm This series will last 3-4 days. RASHIS COVERED: Nu16-11a Gn30-15a When is a sentence a Question? VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ Nu16-09:11 consists of 4 questions -- Isnt it enough that you were chosen as Levites serving God? -- You also seek PRIESTHOOD [?] -- Therefore (because of lack of PRIESTHOOD) you fight God[?] -- WHO is Aaron that you complain on him? There are HEBREW QUESTION KEYWORDS showing that the first and last sentences are questions. Rashis contribution is to emphasize that the middle two sentences are also questions. They are marked with brackets [?]. To understand Rashi we identify 5 HEBREW KEYWORDS that indicate a sentence is a QUESTION ------------------------------------------- TODAYS RASHI RULE: GRAMMAR TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: THE SENTENCE ------------------------------------------- BRIED DESCRIPTION OF RULE and SUBRULE ------------------------------------- Most people are familiar with the concept of GRAMMAR. It is GRAMMAR that tells you how to conjugate verbs, how to place subject-verb-object into a sentence etc. There are many popular books on Hebrew grammar. Most people know that to make a sentence into a question you place the Hebrew letter HEY before the sentence. Rashi in fact uncovers not one but 5 QUESTION KEYWORDS which convert a sentence to a question. They are -- HEY -- ISNT IT ENOUGH -- BEHOLD -- WHAT/WHO -- PERHAPS Rashi also advanced the idea that the sentences surrounding a question may inherit the question status from the nearby sentences. STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE --------------------------------- The standard reference for the Rashi dictionary is the Rashiyomi grammar page located at http://www.RashiYomi.com/grammar.htm The standard paper on the 6 Rashi rules is http://www.RashiYomi.com/rules-01.htm TODAYS LISTS ------------ Below, please find two lists: The first list contains several verses where Rashis contribution is to interpret them as QUESTIONS vs SENTENCES. The footnote provide further detail. The second list summarizes the 5 QUESTION KEYWORDS with sample verses. | ||
