(C) Dr Hendel, Dec-02


RASHIS COVERED: Nu21-27c KI AL KAYN means THEREFORE
Gn10-09c

QUESTION
--------
Ex01-05a states that PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING ON THE NILE
But Rashi states that the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED means NEAR.
Thus Rashi translates the verse: PHAROHS DAUGHTER WAS WALKING
NEAR THE NILE. Is this the real meaning of AYIN-LAMED? Can
other examples be produced.

ANSWER
------
The Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED which is usually translated as
ON in fact has half a dozen meanings in addition to the special
idiomatic meanings it has with other words. Here are some
examples: AYIN-LAMED can mean a) ON, b) WITH, c) AT THE TIME OF
d) TOWARDS, e) FOR, f) NEAR, g) BESIDES. Furthermore in
conjunction with other words it can have idiomatic meaning--for
example it can mean a) DEPRESSED, b) THEREFORE or SINCE.

SEE BELOW LIST004h
A list of verses Where KI AL KAYN means THEREFORE
COMMENTS
*1 There are about 6 dozen Rashis on AYIN-LAMED. We shall
spend about 10 issues presenting all these Rashis.
This list will then grow over the next 10 issues

In this issue we present examples where the idiomatic
phrase BECAUASE ON YES means THEREFORE
LIST004h
(C) Dr Hendel, Dec-02

We present verses with the Hebrew word AYIN-LAMED
AYIN-LAMED has 7 basic meanings and several idiomatic meanings

The last 3 lists show idiomatic meanings of AYIN LAMED
combined with other words.

This list shows AYIN LAMED combined with other words
-AL KAYN means THEREFORE(See LIST004h--add-270-272)
-KI AL KAYN means SINCE (See LIST004i or add-268-269)
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE:AL KAYN is translated as THEREFORE
Nu21-27a Israel conquered SICHON.THEREFORE they say *1
Gn10-09c Nimrod rebelled agaist God: THEREFORE they say*2
COMMENTS
*1 The full text is as follows
- Nu21-25 The Jews conquered CHESHBON from the Emori
- Nu21-26 CHESHBON originally belonged to MOAB but
------- Emori conquered it from them
- Nu21-27 THEREFORE the proverbists say: COME BACK
------- (MOAB) to CHESHBON

Rashi illuminates the logical connection implied
by the THEREFORE with AN OTHER VERSE

--Dt02-19 (Command of God to Jews) Dont war with Moab

--Rashi--
Dt02-19 clearly prohibits waring with Moab and
taking cities like Cheshbon which originally
belong to Moab(Nu21-26). However since Emori
conquered CHESHBON (Nu21-26) therefore the Jews
had the right to take Cheshbon from Emori(Nu21-25).

So no one has a claim against the Jews for
taking Cheshbon. The MOST the proverbists can
do is hope to get it back (Nu21-27)

Hence Rashi here uses MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES
(See Rashis on Nu21-26a)

*2 Nimrod was the first person who rebelled against
God by building the Tower of Babel. Therefore
proverbists made NIMROD a catch word to refer
to any one who rebelled against God
