VERSE: Gn12-17b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn12-17b Gn14-05a

==================== Gn12-17b =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main tasks is to explain
GRAMMAR the same way modern Hebrew books
explain GRAMMAR. We call this the Rashi GRAMMAR rule.
Rashi had three broad sub-rules in explaining GRAMMAR

(1) A major component of Hebrew GRAMMAR are the rules
governing conjugations of VERBS, or HEBREW ROOTS.
There are 7 grammatical modes with half a dozen
parameters: tense, person, gender, plurality,
connective words...

(2) Another component of GRAMMAR deals with
PREFIXES-SUFFIXES and other letters, or small words,
that  indicate changes in meanings.This PREFIX-SUFFIX
subrule includes the rules governing the rules of
plural, gender, pronouns etc. We are still making
discoveries of PREFIX-SUFFIX rules today.

(3) Finally a more advanced part of GRAMMAR deals
with the rules of entire SENTENCES. The SENTENCE
rules includes the rules governing sentence order,
apposition, and compound sentences

Today we look at two examples of use of the APPOSITION
RULE.

EXAMPLE 1: Gn12-17b
-------------------
Gn12-17b states
----------------------------------------------
And God PLAGUED
PHAROH
with great plagues
AND HIS HOUSE
because of the matter of Sarai,Abrams wife
----------------------------------------------

Rashi comments that the capped phrases
should be in APPOSITION
------------------------------------------
And God PLAGUED
PHAROH AND HIS HOUSE
with great plagues
because of the matter of Sarai,Abrams wife
------------------------------------------

Rashi further suggests that HOUSE=HOUSEHOLD
(this is justified by the METONOMY principle
which allows words to refer to RELATED items)
Hence the final commentary of Rashi is
------------------------------------------
And God PLAGUED
PHAROH AND HIS HOUSEHOLD
with great plagues
because of the matter of Sarai,Abrams wife
------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 2: Gn14-05a
--------------------
Rashi translates the following sentence
using classical APPOSITION rules
--------------------------------------
And the HORI: In THEIR mountain: SEIR
--------------------------------------

LIST705a summarizes these example and other examples
using APPOSITION.

==================== LIST075a =============================
List of verses with      Use of APPOSITION
===========================================================
VERSE    WORDS IN APPOSITION IN VERSE are CAPPED*1
======== ==================================================
Gn12-17b God plagued PHAROH and HIS HOUSEHOLD with PLAGUES
Gn14-05a And the CHORI: in THEIR mountain: SEIR
Nu13-26b Spys brought report TO LEADERS and TO CONGREGATION
Dt10-15a God chose the THEIR PROGENY, YOU, from all nations
Nu34-06a The Mediteranean Sea... is the WESTERN BORDER
Nu04-49a By Gods order were census act & CENSUSES OF GOD*2
Gn19-12b WHO ELSE is with you--CHILDREN IN-LAWS--leave city
Gn14-23a FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE...If I take ANYTHING
Ex23-33a Dont intermarry lest you SIN--ie SERVE OTHER GODS
Isa63-7  I will remember GODS GRACE--ie HIS PRAISES
Ps147-9  God gives ANIMALS food-(even) to RAVENS that pray
Gn01-29a I God give to MAN plant food---& to the ANIMALS
Lv06-13a This is the INAUGURATION SACRIFICE-DAILY MNCH

NOTES
------
*1 So the verse should be read with all the CAPPED words
   brought together. For example Gn14-23a is UNDERSTOOD as
   -----------------------------------------------------
   If I take ANYTHING---FROM THREAD TO SHOELACE-from you
   -----------------------------------------------------

*2 So the Biblical text
   --------------------
   he CENSUSED them
   --------------------
   refers to the ACT of census.

   The Biblical text
   ----------------------
   CENSUSES OF GOD TO MOSES
   ----------------------
   would refer to the CENSUS categories, Age 30-50, that
   God ordered Moses.
