SUCCINCT SUMMARY: ----------------- One of Rashis 6 main goals is the explanation of words similar to the way a dictionary explains words. When Rashi explains words we say he is using the method of WORD MEANINGS Rashi had 10 vehicles by which to explain words. When Rashi uses the SYNONYM submethod Rashi is not explaining the meaning of words--indeed the meaning is already known-- rather Rashi is contrasting the nuances of a given word to other words with almost similar meanings. EXAMPLE: Words for booty ------------------------ SHALLAL ------- Here are some sample verses with the word SHALLAL ------------------------------------------------------ Dt20-14 speaks about EATING the SHALLAL of your enemy 2C20-25 speaks about BOOTYING(BZ) SHALLAL--wealth and precious utensils. ------------------------------------------------------ Clearly SHALLAL refers to ------------------------- Enjoyable Booty--that is booty you benefit from ------------------------- BAZ --- Here are some verses with BAZ --------------------------------------------------- Nu31-50:53 Army obtained gold trinkets...they bootied(BAZ) Jo08-02 The SHALLAL and ANIMALS are your BAZ(Booty) Dt03-07 We took as BAZ(Booty) SHALLAL and animals --------------------------------------------------- Clearly BAZ is a word referring to GENERAL BOOTY MALKOACH -------- MALKOACH is a rare word occuring less than 10 times in the entire Bible. In Nu31-26 it is used to describe SHEEP, CATTLE and HUMAN booty This is also true throughout chapter Nu31. Clearly ------------------------------- MALKOACH refers to LIVING BOOTY ------------------------------- SHVI-CAPTIVES -------------- In all languages ---------------------------------- CAPTIVES refer to HUMANs captured in war. ------------------------------------ Dt21-10:11 is the clearest example: ---------------------------------------------- When you go to war and see in the CAPTIVES an attractive woman. --------------------------------------------- Further comments on the Rashi texts are made in LIST955L below which summarizes these observations. | ||

*10 I have used the DAVKA 3.0.6 electronic version of Rashi. The Rashi text of the Davka 3.0.6 states -------------------------------------- SHALLAL refers to trinkets and clothing -------------------------------------- However the verses cited shows that SHALLAL can refer more broadly to anything ENJOYABLE (From which you have benefit) Here we interpret Rashi broadly. *2 The Rashi text of the Davka 3.0.6 states ------------------------------ BAZ refers to MOVABLE objects ----------------------------- But the verses clearly show that BAZ generally refers to ANY Booty. There are no verse grounds to justify interpreting BAZ as referring to BOOTY. Clearly this Rashi comment was not in the original Rashi as the word BAZ does not even occur in Nu31-11 and therefore there can be no Rashi comment on the verse beginning with this word. We therefore believe this Rashi text to be an error. *3 Malkoach is a rare word occurring less than 10 times in the entire Bible. There are several occurrences in Nu31 where it clearly refers to LIVESTOCK and HUMAN booty (SHEEP, CATTLE and HUMANS). The first Rashi comment in the Davka 3.0.6 version states -------------------------------- MALKOACH refers to LIVING BOOTY -------------------------------- This is supported by the verses. The next Rashi comment -------------------------------------------------- When MALKOACH and SHVI are used in the same verse then MALKOACH refers to ANIMALS while SHVI(Captives) refers to HUMANS -------------------------------------------------- this comment--is unfounded and not supported by the texts (Recall that there are less than 10 verses with Malkoach and they simply dont support this idea) We therefore believe that someone emended Rashi with specious distinctions not in the original Rashi text. *4 In all languages SHVI, CAPTIVES, refers to HUMAN BOOTY. | ||||
