VERSE: Lv19-20a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv19-20a Ex21-03a

======================= Lv19-20a ====================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is explaining meaning, the
same way the dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had
a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. Today we
focus on explaining meaning by EXAGGERATION.

For example BREAKFAST refers to the day-s first meal;
it is the meal where you BREAK your FAST. Here are
some Biblical examples.

EXAMPLE 1
---------
Ex21-03 If he comes IN-HIS-BODY
RASHI: IN-HIS-BODY-ONLY--that is, single

EXAMPLE 2
---------
Lv19-20a If she is WINTERED to a man
RASHI: WINTERED--that is engaged (COLD vs the
       warmth of marriage with full relations)

NOTES
-----
*1 EXAGGERATION is also called (possibly with some
   differences) as BDELYGMIA and HYPERBOLE. But
   the basic concept of EXAGGERATING is the same
