A person completing this module will be able to correctly
identify the specific usages of >AL< in the Bible.
AL is normally translated as ON. In reality it has 6
meanings.This module also beautifully illustrates how
our early commentaries complement each other; what one
commentator misses the other supplements.
OVERVIEW:
=========
==============The Hebrew AL Has 6 meanings====================
Most people think that the Hebrew word AL means ON.
In reality the Hebrew word AL has 6 meanings. They are...
==============================================================
AL can mean Verse Sample Text with this meaning
=========== ======== ==============================
ON Gn03-14 Crawl ON your belly
WITH Ex12-09e Eat it WITH Matzoh & Marror
IN Ex29-03 Place the Matzoh IN the basket
TO 1S01-10 Channah prayed TO God
NEAR Gn18-08 Abraham stood NEAR his guests
AFTER Lv03-05a Offer the Peace offering AFTER the Daily*1
==============================================================
TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we present LISTS showing that AL
can mean AFTER.
Please pay special attention to the footnote which shows
how the early authorities very often COMPLEMENTED each
other (vs DISAGREED)
This completes this module. The GRAND SUMMARY will be posted
SATURADAY NIGHT. As I indicated we will now be presenting a few
short modules to provide contrast to the month we spent on THE.
REFERENCE:
=========
This module comes from the following digests in the
Rashi-is-Simple series
http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h9n23.htm
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2001 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
=============Examples where the Hebrew AL means AFTER=========
The Hebrew word AL has 6 meanings. A lesser known meaning is
AFTER. In the verses below we have translated AL as AFTER.
Verse references that end with a letter (e.g. Gn19-17a) refer
to translations brought by Rashi. Note that this nuance of AL,
namely, AL means AFTERWARDS, is brought by RASHI but not by
RADACK. Thus we have an interesting insight into how the
great early authorities complement each other in their works.*1
================================================================
AL VERSE TRANSLATION OF VERSE WITH al TRANSLATED to
==== ======== ===============================================
AFTER Lv03-05a Offer the Peace offering AFTER the Daily Olah*1
AFTER Lv04-10b Offer its flesh AFTER it head and ..insides*1
AFTER Nu06-20b & the priest waives them AFTER the breast &..*1
AFTER Nu28-24 Offer these Passover offerings AFTER the Daily
AFTER Nu28-10 The Sabbath offering AFTER the daily offering
================================================================
---------------------------NOTES--------------------------------
*1 Rashi explicitly says that this is a new meaning of the Hebrew
word AL---which according to Rashi can means MILVAD.
MILVAD is usually translated as BESIDES. Thus Nu06-20b would
be translated as THE PRIEST WAIVES THEM BESIDES THE BREAST
However after examining both Rashi and the other verses we
think that AFTER is a better translation that is more
consistent with both the Biblical text and Rashi.
Rashi explicitly says that these occurences of AL have a
connotation of EXTRANESS which would correspond more to
a translation of AFTER rather than BESIDES. Furthermore the
intent of say Lv03-05a is that one should OFFERING THE
PEACE OFFERING AFTER THE DAILY OLAH.

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2001 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
=============Examples where the Hebrew AL means NEAR=========
The Hebrew word AL has 6 meanings. A lesser known meaning is
NEAR. In the verses below we have translated AL as NEAR.
Verse references that end with a letter (e.g. Gn49-13b) refer
to translations brought by Rashi. Other verses are brought
by the Mideval Grammarian Radack in his book ROOTS
=============================================================
AL VERSE Translation of verse with AL translated NEAR
==== ====== ===============================================
NEAR Nu02-20 NEAR them was the tribe of MENASHEH
NEAR Gn18-08 Abraham stood NEAR his guests
NEAR Is06-02 Standing-angels are NEAR God
NEAR Ex14-09 The Jews were camped NEAR the sea
NEAR Lv24-07 Place incense NEAR the stacks of breadloafs*2
NEAR Gn49-13b May his borders be NEAR Tzidon(a ship nation)*3
===============================================================
EXAMPLE 6: Gn49-13b May his borders be NEAR Tzidon
=============Examples where the Hebrew AL means TO===========
The Hebrew word AL has 6 meanings. A lesser known meaning is
TO. In the verses below we have translated AL as TO.
Verse references that end with a letter (e.g. Ex26-24c) refer
to translations brought by Rashi. Other verses are brought
by the Mideval Grammarian Radack in his book ROOTS
=============================================================
AL VERSE TRANSLATION OF VERSE WITH al TRANSLATED to
==== ====== ===============================================
TO Ex26-24c The boards shall be even from bottom TO top
TO 1S01-10 And Channah prayed TO God
TO Jos02-08 And Rachav went up TO them on the roof
TO Jer18-11 Speak to the Jews and TO the Jerusalemites*4
TO Jer23-35 Say TO your friend & to your brothers as follows*4
TO Ps48-15 God will lead us TO the day of death *5
================================================================
EXAMPLE 7:Ex26-24c The boards shall be even from bottom TO top
=============Examples where the Hebrew AL means IN===========
The Hebrew word AL has 6 meanings. A lesser known meaning is
IN. In the verses below we have translated AL as IN.
Verse references that end with a letter (e.g. Gn19-17a) refer
to translations brought by Rashi. Other verses are brought
by the Mideval Grammarian Radack in his book ROOTS
=============================================================
AL VERSE TRANSLATION OF VERSE WITH al TRANSLATED to
==== ====== ===============================================
IN Ex29-03 Place the Matzohs IN the basket
IN Is38-20 God saves us;we will sing ...IN Gods house
IN Ex28-11 Etch IN the stones the Names of the tribes
IN Gn19-17a your fleeing should be INvolved with your life*6*7
IN Gn27-40 your life shall be INvolved with the sword*6
NOTES
=====
*6
EXAMPLE 8: Gn19-17a your fleeing should
be INvolved with your life
These last two examples probably appear STRETCHED to the
reader. A more flowing translation would be
-----------------------------------
flee FOR your life
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
you will live BY your sword
-----------------------------------
Those readers who speak Hebrew know that The Hebrew letter
BETH when prefixed to a word can mean IN, FOR, BY etc.
Thus it is difficult to UNIFORMLY translate all these
verses the same way into English. To approximate this
Hebrew Uniformity we have translated all verses with the
word IN.
*7 Rashi points out that the sentence emphasizes that he should
---------------------------------------
Flee to save his LIFE, not his PROPERTY
---------------------------------------
================================================================
---------------------------NOTES--------------------------------
*1 This list affords us a beautiful example of how the early
Jewish commentaries complemented each other. Radack only
lists the first 5 meanings in his excellent book THE ROOTS,
while Rashi also lists a 6th meaning, AL can mean AFTER.
A list of examples for each of these meanings is provided
below
*2 Lv24-07
Radack says the incense was placed NEAR the stack of bread.
Rashi seems to indicate that the incense was placed ON TOP
of each stack. Thus this appears to be a controversy of
the Rishonim on a legal matter.
*3 Gn49-13b
Rashi has 2 points: (a) The Hebrew word AL means NEAR; (b)
the word THIGH means BORDER.
See http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ex25-31a.htm which brings
the following Rashis where THIGH means BORDER:Ex25-31d,
Ex40-22a, Ex40-22b, Lv01-11a.
*4 These verses have both the Hebrew words EL and AL in parallel
and they both mean TO.
*5 RADACK suggests that a proper translation would be
--------------------------------------------------
God will lead us UNTIL the day of death
--------------------------------------------------
However Radack brings NO other examples where the Hebrew
word AL means UNTIL. Therefore I have included this
meaning of the Hebrew word AL--UNTIL--with the LIST of
verses where the Hebrew word AL means TO.

RECAP OF THE 6 MEANINGS OF the FROM YESTERDAY
=============================================
Hi everybody
Yesterdays posting went out quickly. I had to
summarize over a month of postings. The summary
at top was missing.
So....
* I am attaching the summary of the 6 (not 4)
usages of THE here.
* I am updating the Rashi calendar tonight.
At about 12 PM (EST) you can find the updated
summary of THE (along with correction of
other typos)
* We spent about a month on the last module.
To achieve some variety we will now lightly
spend a shorter amount of time on some
shorter topics.
* Today we start with the 6 meanings of
the Hebrew word AL.
=============================================
=======The word THE can have the following meanings=============
These are the 6 basic usages of the word THE. Each usage is
illustrated with an example. Further LISTS of examples are
presented in the URL, http://www.RashiYomi.Com/the-35.htm
================================================================
THE CAN MEAN VERSE TEXT OF VERSE The Verse means
============= ======== =================== ===================
A proper noun Ex23-16c THE HARVEST holiday Succoth*1
Pointing Dt31-19a Write THE SONG The SONG in Dt32*2
Established Ex19-11b THE gods*3 The major religions
SubSpecies Ex08-02a THE SPECIAL frogs e.g jumping frogs*4
The best Dt19-03a THE BEST road The THRUWAY*5
An Idiom Gn09-24a THE Small Smallest*6
NOTES
=====
*1 A HARVEST Holiday would mean a holiday on any harvest.
THE HARVEST Holiday is focused--it refers to Succoth
*2 Thus THE SONG points to the SONG in the next chapter
*3 THE gods refer to the KNOWN and ESTABLISHED religions
*4 Thus the phrase THE (SPECIAL) FROGS (vs FROGS) refers
to a special species of JUMPING FROGS which particularly
humiliated Egypt
*5 The BEST ROAD is of course the THRUWAY
*6 The phrase THE SMALL is used to denote the SMALLEST. The
etymology of such an idiom should be clear
================================================================
NOW FOR THE NEW MODULE ON THE HEBREW AL
GOALS:
=====
A person completing this module will be able to correctly
