VERSE: Gn49-24c
RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-24c Gn50-23a
================================ Gn49-24c ===========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar
the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar.
One grammar method that overlaps with word
meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method.
This method studies how words can change from
OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES
(adjective).
EXAMPLE 1: Gn49-24c
-------------------
Gn49-24c
-------------------------------
they GOLDED his hands
-------------------------------
Rashi explains
----------------------------------------------
- They did the STANDARD ACTIVITY of Gold on hands
- That is: They put a GOLD RING on his hand
-
- So the verse refers to the appointment of Joseph
- as prime minister and the symbolic affirmation
- of this by the King placing his ring on Joseph's
- finger
----------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 2: Gn50-23a
-------------------
Gn50-23
----------------------------
Joseph's great grandchildren
were CHILDRENED on his lap
----------------------------
Rashi explains
--------------------------------
TO CHILDREN someone means to
RAISE/CREATE them. [In passing
it is the nature of grandparents
to play with grandchildren on
their lap]
--------------------------------
LIST050d studies other words whose meaning
changes due to shift in grammatical function

-----
*1 eg To FIRE a furnace
*2 Ex16-20b
*3 Ex19-12a
*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
means make them embroidered
*5 Nu04-13b
*6 Lv17-04a
*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
- DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
See LIST814a for more details
*8 Ex29-05a
*9 Lv19-10a
------------------------ LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------
*10 Abstract State
*11 Nu31-03b
*13 Gn13-12a
*14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE
as follows
- FEET describe objects (NOUNS)
- WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb)
- PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial
description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place).
Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions
adverbially as describing how fast the walk is.
*15 Technically
- The Hebrew root Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH
- PATH is an OBJECT (Noun)
- When made into an ATTRIBUTE (Adjective)
- Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH-PEOPLE--a CARAVAN
*16 Gn50-23a
*17 Gn49-24c
