Part 7 in a 7 part series
on the usage of the key phrase
AT THAT TIME




We list below the 18 or so verses with the phrase AT THAT
TIME*12 The basic idea is causal relationship.

Verses with a Rashi end with a LETTER. Verses without a
Rashi do not end in a letter (eg Gn38-01a vs Gn21-22).
This illustrates the Rashi workbook method. Rashi encourages
us to apply the principle of AT THAT TIME=CAUSALITY to other
situations.

We have identified 6 themes in AT THAT TIME=CAUSALITY
These are elaborated in the footnotes. The six themes are
indicated in the column with a # sign. This lists theme is

F - IN ITS TIME indicates the best time to do something
eg RAIN IN ITS TIME probably indicates the nights

*10 The phrase used here is IN ITS TIME vs =
AT THAT TIME
Rashi interprets the phrase IN ITS TIME as
- Friday nights (When people are home and not bothered
by rain)
- weekday nights (people are not at business)

I would go a step further. Notice how the two Rashis
give different interpretations (FRIDAY NIGHT vs WEEKDAY
NIGHT). This shows that Rashi was NOT particular about
which explanation he used. Rather Rashi emphasized the
basic idea that IN ITS TIME meant AT A GOOD TIME FOR
RAIN. One person may think this refers to Friday
night while another person may think this refers
to weekday nights. Both are OK explanations since they
both illustrate the main idea.

*12 In previous postings we have outlined 4 methods
of connecting paragraphs (See our cp series on
the Rashi calendar
http://www.RashiYomi.com/cp-1.htm thru
http://www.RashiYomi.com/cp-9.htm

What we do in this posting is show how SPECIAL WORDS
(such as AT THAT TIME) can indicate which of the
4 methods is used
