SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- The traditional approach to Rashi emphasizes - word meaning - grammar - dealing with problems and anomalies such as extra words. In this list we have also advocated skillful use of style. For example we suggest that repeated keywords indicate the modern equivalant of a BULLETING EFFECT We call this the Rashi rule of BULLETS with the Rashi subrule of KEYWORDS AS BULLETS EXAMPLE - Ex20-10c ------------------ The Biblical text states as follows ---------------------------------------------------------- Main Clause You should do no work on the Sabbath; you Bullets & children Bullets & slaves Bullets & animals Bullets & non-jews ---------------------------------------------------------- Here the KEYWORD, AND, acts as a bullet listing those prohibited from work on the Sabbath. Rashi paraphrased comments ---------------------------------------------- The CONTEXT of the verse as defined by the bullets is that - you should do no work - no one should do work for you(even if not prohibited) - create an atmosphere where no one does work We are using the Rabbi Ishmael rule of CONTEXT. The novelty we are contributing is that the Rabbi Ishmael rule of context can be facilitated by a bullet structure: The bullet structure defines the CONTEXT--thus in this verse the bulleted list consists of beings not fully obligated to observe commandments (and hence we infer that CHILDREN refer to LITTLE CHILDREN who resemble slaves, animals and non-Jews in that they are not fully obligated to do all commandments) | ||
