SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 major goals is to explain meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. In this posting Rashi explains the meaning of the Hebrew word Lamed-Vuv---LOO. Rashi explains that it is sort of an interjection expressing a WISH -- IF ONLY SUCH AND SUCH WOULD HAVE HAPPENED (That would be better then what is presently happening). The word occurs very rarely(and hence Rashi explains it) | ||

*1 Joshua says it would have been better to be in the wilderness then to suffer defeat at the hands of the Canaanites *2 (Rashi) Dying from PESTILENCE is preferable to dying from THIRST (The context of the verse is a complaint by the Jews for lack of water) *3 Losing a 1000 dollars is preferable to being found guilty of killing the Kings son (The context is the pursuit of Abshalom, King Davids son, who rebelled against the King) The person finding Abshalom had refused to kill him *4 This is not really the Hebrew word Lamed-Vuv but rather a sister conjugation: Aleph-Yud-Lamed-Vuv. But since it has a similar meaning we bring it in this list. | ||
