SAMECH_GIMEL means FALL BACK


RASHIS COVERED: Dt27-17a Dt19-14a Samech-Gimel means FALL BACK


VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
The Hebrew root Samech-Gimel means TO FALL BACK. It has
3 primary uses
-- TO FALL SHORT OF AN EXPECTATION
-- TO PUSH BACK (FALL BACK) someones borders (To steal)
-- The METAL IMPURITIES that FALL BACK during metal production
These 3 uses are compactly displayed in the list below
along with verses illustrating their usage. There are 2
stray verses that do not seem to fit into this pattern. They
are explained in footnote *10.

---------------------------------------------------------
RASHI RULE USED:                        WORD MEANINGS
RASHI SUBRULE USED:                     UNIFIED MEANING
---------------------------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RULE
-------------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meaning of
words the same way a dictionary does. There are many ways
for Rashi to explain meaning
-- Rashi can simply give the meaning of an unknown word
-- or, Rashi can contrast the nuances in two synonyms
-- or, Rashi can show a unity to diverse meanings.

TODAYS LIST
-----------
We present below verses with the 2 main meanings of
Samech-Gimel. Footnote *10 analyzes two stray verses
which dont seem to fit into the pattern. We suggest
interpretations of these verses making them consistent
with the unified meaning
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE WITH MEANING OF SAMECH-GIMEL=FALL BACK
2S01-22 sword of jonathan doesnt FALL BACK
Ps44-19 our hearts will not FALL BACK
Isa50-05 I did not rebel backward--I did not FALL BACK
Isa42-17 may they FALL BACK...may they be embarassed
Ps129-05 may they FALL BACK
-------- --------------------------------------------------------
Dt27-17 Curse be he who PUSHES BACK his neighbors fence*1
Dt19-14 dont PUSH BACK (FALL BACK) your neighbors fence
-------- --------------------------------------------------------
Ez22-18 they become like metal IMPURITIES*2
Isa01-25 I will cleanse ...your IMPURITIES
-------- --------------------------------------------------------
Sng07-03 stomach is wheat textured;FALLING BACK on soft ribs*10
Mic02-06 Dont preach to them;they won-t FALL BACK to embarassment
-------- --------------------------------------------------------
COMMENTS
*1 Rashi (& Rambam Theft Chapter 8) note that there are
   Two verses on theft
   -- General prohibition  of theft
   -- Particular prohibition of theft by pushing back borders

   Rashi/Rambam explain that when stealing by pushing back
   borders, if done in Israel, the thief violates 2 BIblical
   prohibitions (Dt19-14 explicitely states DONT PUSH BACK
   BORDERS IN ISRAEL)

*2 During the metal production process the IMPURITIES FALL
   BACK. Hence symbolically, IMPURITIES symbolize people who
   DONT MAKE IT

-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------------

*10 The reason for attempting to interpret these two verses
    as meaning FALL BACK is because ALL OTHER VERSES FROM THIS
    ROOT MEAN FALL BACK.

    The main posting translates
    Mich02-06 (Dont let this nation fall back to humiliation)
    Song07-04 (A womans up/down breathing stomach is compared to
                a wheat field fall back on lillies)
