                        ======

RULE
====
The words >THE< can be used in 4 ways

--THE can refer to a proper noun


--THE can refer to something that is mentioned nearby

  eg Dt04-32c >Has anyone heard THE GREAT THING-that God
  saved a nation enslaved in another nation with great miracles<

  Thus the phrase >THE GREAT THING< refers to the verse that
  follows >That God saved a nation enslaved in another nation<
  In other words the >GREAT THING< is Gods freeing one nation
  from another.



--THE can refer to a concept, story or thing mentioned
  ELSEWHERE (but not immediately afterwards)

  eg Nu13-33a >We saw there THE Nefilim<
  This refers to the NEFILLIM nation mentined in Gn06-04



--THE can refer to the best known of a class

  eg  Dt01-07e >THE Mount< -- This refers to The Kings Mountain

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2001 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

------------------------------------------------------------
  In the following verses >THE< refers to a PROPER NOUN
------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 52: Ex23-15a
====================
Ex23-15a At the time of >THE Sprouting< (= SPRING) *1

So the verse doesnt just say to make Passover when your
field sprouts; rather the verse says to make Passover in Spring





EXAMPLE 53: Ex23-16a
====================
Ex23-16a At >THE CUTTING Holiday< (= Shavuoth)*2

The verse does not speak about a personal holiday when you
>CUT< your fields. Rather the verse speaks about the >SHAVUOTH<
holiday which celebrates the field cutting
(See similar language in Dt16-09)



EXAMPLE 54: Ex23-16c
====================
Ex23-16c At >THE HARVEST Holiday< (= Succoth)*3

The verse does not speak about a personal holiday when you
harvest but rather the verse speaks about THE known holiday
when you make a harvest--Succoth (See the exact same
language in Dt16-13)
