============= HOT ITEMS ================================ I am writing from Chicago where I am presenting the methodology of how we approach Rashi on this email group. The slides for my talk may be found at http://www.RashiYomi.Com/my-talk.htm ENGLISH RASHI: http://www.mnemotrix.com/metsudah THE WHITE PAPERS: http://www.RashiYomi.Com/white.htm ========================================================= |
GOALS ===== This module studies Rashis treatment of classical grammar. In other words how did Rashi treat the rules you find in modern LEARN-HEBREW textbooks TODAYS UNIT =========== In todays unit we switch gears. Prior to this unit we have been focusing on the grammatical conjugation of verbs. We now move on to other grammatical areas. Today we continue yesterdays unit by reviewing examples where a rearrangement of a sentence makes it sound better. REFERENCE: ========= Todays unit comes from the following postings http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn41-57a.htm |

EXAMPLE 64: Gn02-19b Rearranged verses can sound better THE TEXT -------- And ANYTHING that man named---ANIMALS--that became its name THE REARRANGEMENT ----------------- And ANY ANIMAL that man named; that became its name THE POINT ------------- Both sentences read the same. However the rearranged version explains the OPPOSITION of the capped words ANIMAL and ANYTHING, thus making the sentence clearer. THE RASHI --------- OPPOSITION --- breaking up parts of sentence into two places is a common technique in all literature. Rashi can make such a sentence clearer by putting the sentence parts back together THE LIST -------- The list below shows the ORIGINAL & REARRANGED verse. The capped words indicate where the rearrangement takes place | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

EXAMPLE 65: Gn14-15a Rearranged verses can sound better THE TEXT -------- And HE split up aginst them at night -- HE & HIS SERVANTS THE REARRANGEMENT ----------------- And HE & HIS SERVANTS split up against them at night THE POINT ------------- Both sentences read the same. However the rearranged version explains the OPPOSITION of the capped words thus making the sentence clearer.

EXAMPLE 66: Gn41-57a Rearranged verses can sound better THE TEXT -------- And the whole region came TO EGYPT to purchase -- TO JOSEPH THE REARRANGED TEXT ------------------- And the whole region came TO EGYPT, TO JOSEPH, to purchase THE POINT ------------- Both sentences read the same. However the rearranged version explains the OPPOSITION of the capped words thus making the sentence clearer.*1 THE RASHI --------- OPPOSITION --- breaking up parts of sentence into two places is a common technique in all literature. Rashi can make such a sentence clearer by putting the sentence parts back together THE LIST -------- The list below shows the ORIGINAL & REARRANGED verse. The capped words indicate where the rearrangement takes place | |
| ORIGINAL VERSE | REARRANGED VERSE |
| And the whole region | and the whole region |
| came TO EGYPT | cane TO EGYPT, |
| TO JOSEPH,*2 | |
| to purchase | to purchase |
| TO JOSEPH*1 | |
| COMMENTS | |
*1 Alternatively Rashi points out that the EFFECT of the opposition can also be obtained by replacing the phrase TO JOSEPH with FROM JOSEPH (The whole region came to Egypt to purchase FROM Joseph). Both remedies --- the rearrangement and the retranslation of TO to FROM -- focus on the confusion from the oppposition which can be removed by a rearrangement *2 Note the commas --- these commans set off an OPPOSITIONAL phrase | |
