GOALS
=====
This module studies the meaning of the Hebrew root N-P-Sh.
Its fundamental meaning is EXPANSIVENESS. From this
fundamental meaning we obtain 6 meanings in 2 broad categories

 THE SIX MEANINGS
 ----------------
 EXPANSIVENESS is indicative of DESIRE. Hence N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * DESIRE
 * INTEREST (either LOSS of INTEREST, or RENEWED INTEREST)
 * The GENERAL CAPACITY FOR ADAPTIVITY & LIFE(i.e. the SOUL)

 Furthermore from this last meaning (ADAPTIVITY,LIFE,SOUL) we
 see that N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * LIVING BEINGS vs property (like SOULS in English)
 * A SOUL-HIT (N-P-Sh HIT) would denote a LETHAL BLOW
 * SOUL-FLESH would refer to a LIVE-ORGAN

This module is an excellent example of the Rashi Rule of UNIFED
MEANING since there are close to 2 dozen Rashis on this
enigmatic word.

TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we study a traditional meaning of N-P-Sh:
Namely, LIVING BEINGS (Fish, animal or man). In contrast
to plant life, which is just reproductive, ANIMALS & FISH
are ADAPTIVE -- the Bible speaks about them having a
LIFE FORCE (N-P-Sh). Thus we interpret N-P-Sh here as
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 SOULS/LIFE-FORCE/LIFE-TYPES WHICH ARE ADAPTABLE-Fish & Animals
 --------------------------------------------------------------

REFERENCE:
=========
Todays unit comes from the following posting

THE WORD soul CAN REFER TO animal/fish types
 


EXAMPLE 15: Gn01-20a  God orders FISH LIFE created
EXAMPLE 16: Gn01-21b  God creates FISH LIFE
EXAMPLE 17: Gn01-24b  God orders ANIMAL LIFE created

BACKGROUND
----------
The Hebrew language is based on 3 letter roots. Each 3 letter
root has an abstract meaning which can assume further nuances
according to the CONJUGATION of the root.

THE TEXT
--------
There are 2 dozen Rashis commenting on the meaning of the
3 letter root N-P-Sh.

THE RASHI
---------
The root N-P-Sh has a variety of meanings. Today we explore
one of the basic meanings of EXPANSIVENESS: N-P-Sh can refer
to Animal and Fish LIFE. Hebrew calls animal and fish life
EXPANSIVE since animals and fish, in contrast to plants,
have ADAPTIVE powers (They can ADAPT/ADJUST to new environments)

Each day we will present one of the six meanings. We will
present the unifying meaning at the end.
