Very commonly we find that words carry a very different meaning than most of us would assume. In many cases a commentator will give an incorrect meaning to a word based on their own understanding of the language used at their time. It is always important to look into the often used format for a word in a text, together with the overall meaning we find in the Bible. I saw an interesting anecdote about the name of this week’s parasha Bo based on a very common Midrash used in Jewish circles.
