Something is wrong with the voting system. The answer claims to have 0 points. My history shows one upvote and two downvotes (at -2 each) yesterday, another -2 listed separately but also linked to this answer, and +10 today.

And since when did downvotes get -2, not -1?

@MichaBerger I see one upvote (+10) and two downvotes (-2 each) yesterday and an upvote today, for a net score of 0 and net rep of +16.

Downvotes have given -2 for years. Are you perhaps confusing it with the -1 that it costs you to cast a downvote on an answer?

I'm having some trouble translating a sentence in the kli yakar from this week's parsha

I'm specifically looking here

and the part I don't understand is this part:

"מ"מ הזכירו בלשון שאו, כי תשא, נשא, כי מצד המספר ינטלם וינשאם ביתר שאת על כל העמים אשר אין להם מספר פרטי"

Is anybody able to help me out with that?

(Presented alongside the Rashi he's disagreeing with)

Daniel

yeah I looked at that rashi before

Isaac Moses

He's saying that the intent of the Torah is indeed to connote elevation.

Daniel

but I don't really understand what the kli yakar is disagreeing with or what he's really saying

I think part of the problem is I don't really know how to translate all of those words

how do you translate it?

It seems like he's implying some alternative definition of נ.ש.א. that I don't really understand

Isaac Moses

> However, [the Torah] mentions it with the language of "שאו / כי תשא / נשא" ("Lift up" / "when you lift" / "Lift up"), for through the counting, He will take them and raise them up over and above all of the nations who aren't counted individually.

Daniel

4:23 PM

aha

got it

I missed that meaning of the shoresh

Isaac Moses

@Daniel I don't think so. I think Rashi's proposing a relatively surprising translation, while Keli Yakar is trying to interpret it in terms of is usual meaning

Daniel

yeah

agreed

I generally think of "carrying" when I hear that shoresh more than "lifting"

which is probably what I was missing

Daniel

thanks for the help @IsaacMoses

Motivation: this recent answer, which is at +20 right now with only 102 views. If it was in the SEDE data, it would presently place second on that ranking

Q: type of question to ask on MY

I appreciate the forum to be able to ask questions. However, I want mine to be in sync with what the guidelines for the site are. Are questions on the weekly Parsha encouraged to be asked on the MY site?
