RASHIS COVERED: Dt15-11a KI AL KAYN means THEREFORE Gn02-24a Gn29-34b 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. | ||

*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 | ||

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 | |
| Dt15-11a | There will always be poor THEREFORE be charitable*5 | |
| Gn02-24a | Woman comes from man THEREFORE man clings to wife*6 | |
| Gn29-34b | The baby JOINS us THEREFORE they called him JOIN*7 | |

*5 Rashi here uses MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES First Rashi uses the method of contradictory verses -Dt15-04 Forgive debts in the 7th year ------- YOU WILL HAVE NO POOR IN THE LAND ------- BECAUSE GOD WILL BLESS YOU -Dt15-10 Dont be afraid to loan BECAUSE the ------- 7th year is close, because God will ------- bless you for your acts -Dt15-11 BECAUSE there will always be poor ------- THEREFORE give charity generously We use the Rabbi Ishmael method of COMPLEMENTARY VERSES WITH TWO CASES (See Sifsay Chachamim who points this out and see the Rabbi Ishmael rules at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ri-14.htm) -CASE 1: If you forgive debts then no poor(Dt15-04) -CASE 2: If you dont forgive then there will be poor (Dt15-11) So Rashi uses MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES here (See Sifsay Chachamim for this approach) *6 The actual verse(s) state - Woman comes from man - THEREFORE ...men leave their parents - & seek their wife (because the woman - is preordained and is already there) Rashi elaborates. Man seeks his wife because she is part of him. HENCE there is also a PROHIBITION of ADULTERY since taking someones wife is taking PART of him. Rashis elaboration is justified because of the word THEREFORE. This word creates an emphasis of logical connection | ||
