When people do this, and they do it well, does it involve comparing verses with the same word in them?
I know it sounds like an obvious question, I'm sorry to bother you with it... but sometimes i come up with some very odd ideas about what the words mean if I start... ummm... questioning the translation and kind of... hoping it means something else.
Do you know what I mean? If so, can you offer any advice?

One of the hermeneutic rules is based in the use of a word in 2 different places, but its application is very specific. We do use our understanding of a word in one place to inform its use elsewhere. The first piece of advice is to read all the things others have already written about a verse. I came up with a question this morning about a word and am still researching whether anyone has pointed out what I saw. Meanwhile, I'm learning all about what others have thought.

So, Avodah Zarah 3a: "The Holy One, Blessed be He, says to them ... But even so, I have an easy mitzva to fulfill, and its name is sukka; go and perform it."
Aha! Now THAT I can do.
Aha! Now THAT I can do.

yes... my Hebrew skills limit this a bit. But Thank you. This is very good advice.
If I research "hermeneutic rules" online do think it will be difficult to find accurate info?

Please refer to my attached pictures ( post 151 ) and build one that is wind proof. Also... location is key..

Search "hermeneutics" for Jews, ... not Christians, or wiki it?. Talmudical hermeneutics - Wikipedia

Yes, but it is important to remember that these rules are for the derivation of laws. Similar techniques are used to derive meaning but the application-rules re not identical.

The boys or the bikes? But yes, they were at my daughter's high school helping people wave the lulav and handing out snacks. I love snacks.Aren't Chabad handing them out free these days?

I was just giving the kid a little gas for his motor, not trying to fill his tank. But what you say is important to know.

Oh I should mention there is an aura of inclusion that surrounds the holiday of Sukkot. I'm quite sure I have read opinion that it's for everyone... not just Jewish people... I can search for that and send it via PM when I find it if you want?
I'm not sure the practical application of this idea or if it's halachic, midrashic, or just some dude's opinion... all I remember is reading about the concept and liking it. Naturally....
One related idea is that in sukkot there were sacrifices in the temple that represented the world's nations.Oh I should mention there is an aura of inclusion that surrounds the holiday of Sukkot.
