BLESSED IN YOU



RASHIS COVERED: Gn12-03a BLESS IN YOU means YOU BECOME A MODEL


VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis discoveries is the idea that meaning is not
only identified with a root but rather with the combination
of a ROOT+PREPOSITION. That is, the meaning of a ROOT depends
on the PREPOSITION following it. In this posting we review
the meaning of the root beth-resh-caph. When followed by no
preposition it means TO BLESS. But when followed by the
preposition IN (BLESSED IN YOU) it means a BLESSING STANDARD.
Thus the famous Gn48-20 JEWS WILL BLESS IN EPHRAIM/MENASEH means
(According to Gn48-20) that when Jews bless their children
they say MAY YOU BECOME AS BLESSED AS EPHRAIM/MENASHEH

TODAYS RASHI RULE                    GRAMMARr
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE                 VERB+PREPOSITION
---------------------------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RASHI RULE AND SUBRULE
-------------------------------------------
One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain grammar the same way
a dictionary explains grammar.  There are various aspects to
grammar including verb conjugation, gender agreement, plurality
agreement etc. In todays posting we focus on a brilliant
discovery of the Malbim: The meaning of Hebrew words is not
dependent only on 3 letter roots but rather is dependent on
the combination of 3 letter roots with prepositions.

STANDARD REFERENCES FOR TODAYS RULE
-----------------------------------
The RashiYomi grammar page
http://www.RashiYomi.com/grammar.htm

http://www.RashiYomi.com/by-rule.htm
One may scroll down and find numerous Rashis using this
ROOT+PREPOSITION principle.

The Malbim states this principle on Lv01-01 (CALL TO in Hebrew
does NOT mean to CALL but rather means to PAGE)

TODAYS LIST
-----------
We list several verses where BLESS IN means to become a
BLESSING STANDARD
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE with PHRASE blessed by you*1
Gn48-20 BY YOU will people bless--(They-ll say)Become like them
Ps72-17 His name will be forever;in blazing light; BLESS BY HIM
Jr04-02 nations will BLESS BY YOU; BY YOU BE PRAISED
------- -------------------------------------------------------
Gn12-03 (Abraham) All nations will be BLESSED by YOU
Gn18-18 (Isaac) All nations will be BLESSED by you
Gn28-14 (Jacob) All nations will be BLESSED by you
COMMENTS
*1 In the top 3 verses the identification of
   -----------------
   BLESSED IN YOU
   -----------------
   with
   ------------------------------------------------
   People will say MAY YOU BE AS BLESSED AS SO & SO
   ------------------------------------------------
   is explicit.

   This identification is then transferred to the bottom 3 verses
   That is we identify the verse blessing: NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED
   IN THE JEWS with the idea that people will say MAY YOU BE AS
   BLESSED AS THE JEWS
