VERSE: Dt11-27a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv04-01 Nu33-55a Dt11-27a Gn06-04d
                Dt18-22a Gn30-38c Gn410-55b


RULE: The Hebrew word ASHER, which means THAT, can also mean IF
ASHER generally means IF vs THAT if it
a) doesn't modify a word (eg the sentence begins with that)
b) it has an IF--THEN form
RADACK in his book ROOTS lists "IF" as one of the meanings
of ASHER and cites  the first two examples.


EXAMPLES (In all these verses ASHER is translated as "IF")
--------
1) Lv04-01 IF a person sins (no Rashi) *1



2)Nu33-55a IF you don't conquer the land THEN
	 	IF you leave these people to live THEN
			they will be thorns in your eyes ON
			     the land that you dwell in*2


3)Dt11-27a "I give...A blessing: IF you listen to Gods words*3

4)Gn06-04d IF the giants came to women THEN
		their offspring were giants like them*4


5)  BACKGROUND: The Bible is speaking about a False prophet
   who must receive a death penalty. The Bible discusses
   how we known that a prophet is false.

Dt18-22a How do we know what God didn't command?
     IF he says something in the name of God and it doesn'thappen
     THEN he spoke willfully and you should not be afraid of him*5


6) Gn30-38c
     Jacob placed the spotted sticks in the water containers:
     IF sheep came to to drink opposite other sheep THEN they
      became aroused *6


7)Gn41-55b
     Egypt came to Pharoh for bread and Pharoh said go to Joseph:
	IF he tells you anything THEN do it
