SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One  of Rashis 5 main goals is to give the meaning of words
the same way the dictionary gives meaning. Rashi had a variety
of vehicles to present meaning.

EXAMPLE 1 Gn34-02a Gn34-02b SYNONYM Method
------------------------------------------
There are 3 phrases for relations between males and females
- love WITH
- love OF
- Make her answer
Surprisingly any of these can mean rape(more below)

EXAMPLE 2 Gn34-03a Gn50-21a NEW MEANINGS
----------------------------------------
The phrase SPEAK ON THEIR HEART refers to
either speaking REASSURINGLY to someone or else
to attempt to CONVINCE them of something

EXAMPLE 3 Gn34-08a Ex27-10d 8 METHODS OF NAMING
-----------------------------------------------
The Hebrew root Chet-Shin-Kaf means to HUG.
Hence it can also refer to an OVERLAY of a pillar
(Since the overlay, HUGS the pillar) This illustrates
the method of NAMING BY FORM

COMMENTS
*1  For example the LIST shows that both phrases
- SLEEP WITH
- RAPE
are used to describe an act of ADULTERY

*2 This list shows that there are 3 phrases used for relations
- SLEEP WITH
- SLEEP OF
- RAPE  (TORTURE-MAKE THE WOMEN ANSWER)

Malbim makes some OBVIOUS comments about SLEEP WITH/SLEEP  OF
However as the LIST shows ANY of the 3 phrases can be used
to denote RAPE.

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 We used a DAVKA CD ROM to produce this list
We searched for
------------------------------------------------
Shin Caph Beth (*Aleph*Tauv or *Ayin Mem*) OR Ayin-Nun-Hey
------------------------------------------------
This produced 130 records in the Bible and Prophets

*11 Rashis literal translation is as follows
-------------------------------------------------------
The Biblical phrase SLEPT OF denotes ordinary relations
The Biblical phrase RAPE denotes anal relations
-------------------------------------------------------

As we frequently do in this list I think the  proper approach
is to interpret Rashi broadly vs literally. We should
read Rashi as follows
-------------------------------------------
The Biblical phrase RAPE (literally, MAKE HER ANSWER)
denotes a painful or humiliating type of relationship
ONE GOOD EXAMPLE of this is the anal relationship
-------------------------------------------

However one is not obligated to interpret Rashi literally
If a student has a different conception of MAKE HER ANSWER
this is perfectly valid.

Such an approach to Rashi is broad deep and mature
enabling fuller appreciation of the Biblical text.
For further details on this approach to Rashi read my
Tradition article at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rashi.pdf

I call this the method of ARCHETYPICAL EXAMPLES since
anal relations is an archetypical example of
MAKING HER ANSWER (i.e. response without participation)

*12 The fact that the Bible in Dt22 describes a case of FORCED
RAPE using the words SLEEP WITH (Denoting equality) has
obvious consequences for rape laws (Rambam Murder 1)
--------------------------------------------------
Rape is determined by initial lack of consent;
not by the form of the act. Thus if the married
women seeing force consents to SLEEP WITH vs
full rape (in order to avoid being furture tortured)
she is still considered to have been raped
