VERSE: Gn33-19a
Gn33-19a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals was to explain the meaning of
words the same way a dictionary explains words. Rashi
sometimes explains meaning by analyzing roots. In
particular roots with SHIN and SIN often have the
same or similar meanings.

EXAMPLE Gn33-19a
----------------
The Kuph-Sin-Tet=Ornament and refers to a monetary unit
equal to a bead of silver. The Kuph-Shin-Tet=Beauty.

Here the ORNAMENT (Sin spelling) is an EXAMPLE of
BEAUTY/ADORNMENT (Shin spelling)
ITEM DETAIL

(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04

List of root pairs with  SHIN-SIN difference;they mean same
ROOT SIN SHIN COMMONALITY OF TWO ROOTS
Kuph-Shin-Tet Ornamnt Beauty*4 Ornaments=examples of beauty
Kas-Kas Scales Stubble Scales:Fish::Stubble:Ground*3
Sin-Lamed-Vav FatBird Tranquil Feeling of Saiety
Ayin-Sin-Resh 10 rich 10=plurality;rich=much money
Ayin-Sin-Kuph dispute wage-theft Both involve property fights
Kuph-Sin-Kuph Quarter trinkets*2 Both are small silver objects
Chet-Sin-Caph withold dark To withold=keep it in dark
Nun-Sin-Aleph lift up seduce Seduce=give a person a HIGH
COMMENTS
 
*1 The 2 Rashis on Gn25-29a Gn25-29b both describe
property disputes on the wells, Hence the two roots
- Ayin-Shin-Kaph=Withold wages
- Ayin-Sin-Kaph=dispute


*2 Biblical money has the following analogy with English
------------------------------
Penny    = Perutah
Quarter  = Kesitah = 1/6 Dinar
Dollar   = Dinar
5 Dollar = Selah = 4 Dinar
------------------------------
We of course use poetic lisence to translate Kesitah as
a Quarter (since it really is a sixth)

*3 This is an example of naming by APPEARANCE
See LIST810b for further examples

*4 Both these roots are extremely rare. I translate
- Pr22-21 To teach you the BEAUTY of truth
- P060-06 Gave victory--in order to ADORN us
--------------------------------------------
- Gn33-19a Paid for it with 100 Ornaments*10
--------------------------------------------
LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 In old times there was no paper money. So money
was by the weight/size of silver and gold.

Hence a a SILVER ORNAMENT was typically the size
between a penny and dollar. Talmudic measurements
indicate that
- a PENNY=weight of half a wheat grain in silver
- ORNAMENT=32 pennies (Size of typical beads)
- DOLLAR = 6 ORNAMENTS

Here the terms PENNY/ORNAMENT/DOLLAR are used
figuratively to refer to units of Biblical
currency
