SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 10 main goals is the explanation of meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING. Rashi will sometimes explain meaning by providing a UNIFIED MEANING to a root. EXAMPLE 1: Dt14-06 Pay-Resh-Samech means TO SPLIT ------------------------------------------------- Although this root does occur 6 dozen times in the Bible, surprisingly, - most of the occurrences are repetitions of the word SPLIT-HOOF. - The root Pay Resh Samech also refers to PERSIA (The English PERSIA comes in fact from the P-R-S root-PeRSia) There are only TWO other occurrences of the root - Is58-07 SPLIT YOUR BREAD to the poor - Jr16-07 They will not SPLIT [bread] for mourners Hence in modern Hebrew Perusah (with a Sin vs Samech) means a SLICE of bread. Rashi on this verse states -------------------------------- Pay-Resh-Samech means SPLIT-HOOF--that is, the hoof is not smooth but rather has, so to speak, tread: The hoof has two sides with an indentation in the middle (Making it look split) --------------------------------- Traditional English translations translate Pay-resh-Samech as meaning OPEN (OPEN your bread to the poor). However an examination of all verses indicates that it really always means SPLIT. LIST864c below compactly summarizes the above arguments. | ||

*1 The traditional English translation is OPEN ----------------------- OPEN your bread to the poor ----------------------- But as can be seen, the translation ----------------------- SPLIT your bread to the poor ----------------------- is superior.[You cut bread by knicking it with a knife and splitting it]*10 *2 A SPLIT HOOF is a hoof with an indentation in the middle (like the TREAD of car tires). This indentation makes the hoof appear like a split. Such tread facilitates movement (Which is why car tires have them) | ||
