SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- The METONOMY method seeks to obtain meaning by equating a word or phrase with something RELATED. For example AMERICA defeated IRAQ really means that the AMERICAN PEOPLE defeated the IRAQii PEOPLE. It is common in POETRY to use phrases to indicate something related. I call this the method of METONOMIC PHRASES. EXAMPLE Nu13-17a ---------------- Nu13-17 describes the journey of the spies ---------------------------- and they went on the south towards chevron.... ---------------------------- Rashi comments ------------------------------------------------ Chevron is a burial place (eg Gn23-19:20) Burial plots are typically the most inferior land (You dont use good land for burial plots) So the point is that the spies first encountered the bad parts of Israel and later they could see the good parts of Israel This is common in commerce....you keep the very good stuff to the end...you try and get bids on the bad stuff...then you show good stuff and try and get a higher bid (As it is...Chevron which is ONLY a burial plot has quite good land) ------------------------------------------------ Rashi here uses the principle of PHRASE METONOMY: The verse THEY WENT TO THE SOUTH TO CHEVRON means THEY WENT TO THE POOR QUALITY LAND FIRST In other words the SOUTH/CHEVRON is interpreted in terms of the attributes which are RELATED TO IT (And naming something by RELATION is called METONOMY) See LIST871O for a list of METONOMIC POETIC PHRASES | ||
