List of verses with      Root Cheth-Samech-Dalet=FAVOR/KINDNESS
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE WITH ches-samech-daleth=KINDNESS
Gn47-29 do me a FAVOR--dont bury me in Egypt
Gn40-14 do me a FAVOR--mention to the King I am in prison
Gn24-12 God, please do me a FAVOR--give him a charitable women
------- --------------------------------------------------
Pr25-10 Dont insult; he might do you a FAVOR;its embarassing*1
Lv20-17a if a person sleeps with his sister-if she does a FAVOR*2
COMMENTS
*1 This translation of the verse is consistent with the
UNIFIED MEANING of Ches-Daleth-Samech-doing a FAVOR
---------------------------------------------------
Dont be hasty to insult; perhaps the person will
do you a FAVOR and you will then be embarassed
---------------------------------------------------

*2 This last verse has evoked extreme controversy---why is incest
called A FAVOR. (Some claim that Cheth-Samech-Daleth could mean
the opposite, SHAMEFUL). However the psychology of incest is
well known and affords us a simpler explanation

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Most men are willing to take the risks of a sexual encounter
Which requires sustaining a certain amount of tension. A person
whose masculinity is so destroyed that he would only have sex
with someone he trusts--like his sister--is not acting like
an adult but receiving a FAVOR from someone he trusts (Despite
this kindness/favor (vs lust) incest is universally prohibited)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This seems to be the simplest explanation of this unique verse
and seems consistent with Rashi. At any rate the UNIFIED
MEANING of Chest-Samech-Daleth is FAVOR/KINDNESS and this
applies to Pr25-10 and Lv20-17a*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Rashi states
--------------------------------------------------
Sleeping with ones sister is called Kindness since
Kain and Abel married sisters and this was a kindness
that God allowed
--------------------------------------------------

To understand this please review my article
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gen-1.htm

Adam, Kain and Abel were not the only humans around
Indeed they were the only prophets around. But there
were many non-prophets. Adam in fact had a non-prophet
female companion nicknamed, TheNightOne (because
she knew nothing about the lights of prophecy).

Technically Kain and Abel SHOULD have been required
to take the risks of converting a non-prophet person
to prophetic status. But such a risk and tension would
have been too great. Hence God allowed the FAVOR of
marrying their sisters. We could say more but
this suffices for the present.
