But there are 4 minor differences which indicate subtle nuances about these children. TODAYS UNIT =========== Today we present the basic LIST of 4 differences as well as begin to explain them REFERENCE: ========= This module came from the following postings http://www.Rashiyomi.com/h12n6.htm http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn29-34c.htm |

EXAMPLE 1: Gn30-10a BACKGROUND ---------- Gn30 describes the naming of the 12 tribes. THE TEXT ---------- The text is presented below. The naming of almost all 11 children is described by the Bible in identical language. However there are 4 minor differences. e.g. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SHE CONCEIVED and gave birth (Typical phrase)--eg Gn30-07 SHE ------------- gave birth (Rare;used by 2 children--Gn30-10) ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE RASHI --------- Rashi explains each of these 4 minor differences. For example pregnancy is usually not visible in younger woman. Hence Rashi concludes that ZILPAH, the matriarch by whom CONCEPTION is not mentioned, was young and therefore the CONCEPTION (PREGNANCY) was not noticeable THE LISTS --------- We present below the 4 differences. Today we comment on one of these differences. The other 3 will be explained tomorrow. In the list below differences are hilighted by CAPS. | ||
| TYPICAL PHRASE | EXCEPTIONAL PHRASE | EXCEPTION OCCURS |
| She CONCEIVED & gave birth | She gave birth | Gad, Asher*1 |
| She conceived AGAIN | She conceived | Rvn,Dn,Joe,Yschr |
| SHE named him so & so | HE named him so & so | Levi |
| THEREFORE she named him | she named him | Judah,Dan,Levi |
| COMMENTS | ||
*1 These were ZIPLAHS children The word CONCEPTION is mentioned by the other 3 matriarchs. Rashis notes that pregnancy is not always noticeable in younger woman and suggests that Zilpah was the youngest of the 4 matriarchs (Rashi also gives further reasons why the Torah tells us this but the main focus here is on differences in phraseology) | ||
