======================= Lv26-17a ======================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is the explanation of
meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning.
We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING.
Rashi had 10 vehicles by which to explain words.
Rashi frequently explains not, word meaning, but rather
phrase meaning. That is each particular word in the
phrase may have a known meaning but the collection of
words together form a NEW IDIOMATIC MEANING.
We call this the NEW MEANING or the IDIOM SUBMETHOD.
EXAMPLE: PLACING THE FACE=Full Attention
-----------------------------------------
The following 4 verses use the phrase
--------------------
PLACE MY FACE IN YOU
--------------------
Rashi interprets this as an idiom connoting
--------------------
FULL ATTENTION
--------------------
Lv26-17a If you rebel I will PLACE MY FACE
to punish you
Lv26-09a If you do good I will PLACE MY FACE
to make you flourish
Lv17-10b If you eat blood I will PLACE MY FACE
to punish you
Lv20-03a If you offer your children to idols
I will PLACE MY FACE to punish you
Rashi (Lv26-17h) emphasizes that PLACING FACE=
FULL ATTENTION can be either
- for good (PLACE FACE to make you flourish)
- for bad (PLACE FACE to punish you)
