OVERVIEW:
========
RULE:
====
The Hebrew word >KI< primarily means >BECAUSE<. A famous
midrash says >KI< has 4 meanings.
However we who speak English must use caution.
I have counted at least 6 English translations.
By completing this unit the reader will become proficient
in how >KI< is used and will be able to apply these
translations to new verses.
TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we show that >KI< can mean >THAT<
The meaning >THAT< is one of the 4 meanings listed
by Chazal.
REFERENCE:

EXAMPLES
========
-------------------------------------------------
In the following examples >KI< means >THAT<
-------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 7:Gn43-07d Did we know THAT he would ask us to bring him
EXAMPLE 8:Gn24-33a I will not eat until the time THAT I speak*1
EXAMPLE 9:Gn24-19a I'll water your animals until
THAT time they stop*1
--------------------------NOTES---------------------------------
*1 These two verses use the Hebrew word IM rather than KI
But the point is the same: Words that mean >IF< >BECAUSE<
can also mean >THAT<
