====
The >UNIFYING MEANING< of the root >Shin-Beth-Resh< is to >BREAK<
>BREAKING< in turns is archetypical of >ANY SUDDEN CHANGE< and
>ANY SUDDEN CESSATION<.
APPLICATION
===========
As we shall see in the LIST below any bargaining situation which
finally terminates in a sale is called a >BREAKTHRU<. Hence the
>BUYER<, the >SELLER<, and >THE GOODS BOUGHT< are called >ShVR<.
{LIST}
Here is a LIST of meanings of >Shin-Beth-Resh< courtesy of Radack
=================================================================
MEANING VERSE REALTION OF MEANING TO >BREAK<
======= ======== ==============================
Break Isa14-05 Break
WaveBreakers Jon02-04 Sudden change in water height
Interpret dreams Jud7-15 Sudden shift in understanding of dream
Make a treaty Job38-10 Sudden shift in relations
Buy/sell/goods*1 Gn42-26 Suddent shift in ownership
Broken Spirit Isa65-14 Abrupt cessation of positive outlook
Childbirth Isa37-03 The child BREAKS THRU the womb*2
NOTES
=====
*1 Radack points out that the word can mean
--any buyable good (Gn42-26)
--the act of buying (Isa55-1)
--the act of selling (Gn41-56)
In other words all parties connected with the suddent shift
of ownership can be called >SHOVER<.
It appears that >SHOVER< refers to buying/selling in a
situation where there is alot of market bargaining--hence
the final sale is a >breakthrough<--a sudden shift from
bargaining to settlement.
Rashi like Radack points out that the word can mean
--Selling(Gn41-56--this verse is also brought by Radack)
--Buying (Gn43-02)
--Any type of food(Isa55-01) Radack also derives the meaning
>any type of food< from Isa55-01.
*2 Some scholars connect >CHILDBIRTH< with >BROKEN SPIRIT<
because of the pains of childbirth. But I think it more
consistent to interpret >Childbirth< as a >BREAKTHRU<
of the baby.
