VERSE: Gn14-01b

=========== GOYIM refers to a country like UNITED STATES ========

BACKGROUND
----------
Gn14-01 lists the names of 4 kings and their countries.

THE LIST
--------
From the alignment we learn that the phrase KING TIDAL of NATIONS
indicates that TIDAL was King over a place named nations

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi then derives the meaning of the name. NATIONS was a place
like the UNITED STATES or the UNITED ARAB REPUBLICS. It was
a federation of states
=================================================================
KING                  NATION
===========           =============
AMRAFEL               Shinar
ARYOCH                Elasar
KDARLAOMER            Aylam
TIDAL                 NATIONS*1

NOTES
=====
*1 The ALIGNMENT shows that the word NATIONS isnt a noun
   referring to many nations but rather is a proper noun
   NAMING a PLACE called NATIONS. Rashi conjectures the
   obvious etymology --- NATIONS referred to a place like
   the UNITED STATES or the UNITED ARAB REPUBLICS
=================================================================

RASHI RULE USED: DOUBLE PARSHAS
