VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain Grammar the same way modern Hebrew books explain grammar. Particularly important is the explanation of grammatical conjugation. Rashi had a special method of teaching conjugation-- Rashi taught grammar using the method of NEAR MISSES in which he either juxtaposes (a)two grammatical forms which differ in only one small detail or (b)two identical forms which however differ in meaning. Such NEAR MISSES help reinforce the various rules of grammar. EXAMPLES -------- 1) NoChoM means to LEAD THEM (The same KAMATZ KAMATZ form however can refer to a noun. The similar KAMATZ PATACH form refers to activity (VERB vs NOUN) without an INDIRECT OBJECT. 2) OShoN means SMOKE: Oshan mean TO SMOKE 3) HoMoM means to CRUSH THEM: HoMaM means TO CRUSH 4) PaChaZ means FIZ while PoChaZ means TO FIZ 5) YaMooSH means IT DEPARTS while YaMeeSH means SOMEONE MOVES IT 6) NeBuChiM has root N-B-X (Entangled) | ||

The following verses all have verb forms whose meaning would change if only one vowel in the form changes. We call this the method of NEAR MISSES since we emphasize the meaning of forms by showing comparable forms that are highly similar but nevertheless differ in meaning. The footnotes illumine further | ||||
| VERSE | Hebrew | THE FORM | EMPHASIS IN FORM | |
| Ex13-17a | NoCHoM | Kamatz KAMATZ | Lead THEM*1 | |

| Ex19-18a | oSHoN | Kamatz PATACH | Smoke(NOUN)*3 | |

*1 NoChoM (Kamatz Kamatz) means to LEAD THEM NoChaM (Kamatz Patach) means to LEAD The final MeM indicates the direct object (LEAD THEM) with the Kamatz Kamatz punctuation *2 HoMoM (Kamatz Kamatz) means to CRUSH THEM HoMaM (Kamatz Patach) means to CRUSH The final MeM indicates the direct object (CRUSH THEM) with the Kamatz Kamatz punctuation *3 oShoN (Kamatz Kamatz) is SMOKE (A noun) oSHaN (Kamatz Patach) is TO SMOKE(Verb) *4 YoMooSH means IT MOVE (Active tense) YoMeeSH means SOMEONE MOVES IT(Causative tense) My favorite reference for root conjugations is the Appendix of the Ibn Shoshan Dictionary Table 6 presents the conjugation of the 1-vuv-3 roots which illustrates the contrast between YoMooSH and YoMeeSH *5 PaCHaZ means FIZ(Noun) PoCHaZ means TO FIZ(Verb) The verse describes Reuvens personality as FIZZING like water, denoting his impetuousness in acting out of zeal without thinking of consquences or implication. Hence he lost the birthright | ||||
