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. | ||

*7 Perhaps the ALIGNMENT method will shed light on this Rashi ------------------------------------------------- CHILD REASON FOR NAME Logically connected ------ -------------------- --------------------- Reuven God saw my suffering No Shimon God heard suffering No Levi Hubby & I joined Yes(Levi JOINED people) Judah I praise God Yes(Davids Praise Psalms) Dan God judged me Yes(Samson was a JUDGE) Nftali Wrestled with sister No Gad Good tidings No Asher Prosperous No Yschr God rewarded me No Zvln God made me a house No Jsph Another son No ------------------------------------------------- Thus 3 of the 11 tribes have a LOGICAL CONNECTION The exact text of the verse is -------------------------------------------- & She gave birth to a child She said: My husband & I will now be JOINED And she THEREFORE called him: JOINED (Levi) -------------------------------------------- The word THEREFORE denotes logical connection It is easy to see the logical connection: Levi in fact spent his life in the Temple where his job was to JOIN couples together who had fights By contrast NAFTALI is named because Leah wrestled with Rachel to have children. However the tribe NAFTALI was not known for its ability to wrestle The main posting gives further details | ||
