SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences or even meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING. EXAMPLE Ex09-32a ---------------- Ex09-31:32 states in discussing the effects of the hail ---------------------------------------------------------------- Flax/barley were hit because flax was bud barley was in ear Wheat/spelt were not hit because they were dark *1 *2 *3 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rashi infers from the alignment that DARK GRAIN refers to NON-SPROUTED grain which explains why the hail did not hit them Radack further clarifies why the the Hebrew root Aleph-Pay-Lamed which means DARK, here means UNBUDDED. Radack explains that before a seed ripens it lies in the ground in the dark. | ||

*1 Bible contrasts FLAX/BARLEY which were smitten by hail vs WHEAT/SPELT which was not smitten *2 Bible contrasts FLAX/BARLEY which were smitten by hail vs WHEAT/SPELT which was not smitten *3 From the contrast we infer that - DARK grain means UNBUDDED grain Radack further explains that unbudded grain lies in the DARK in the soil *10 | |||

*10 Rashi cites a dissenting opinion. According to Ex09-25 the hail ------------------------------------- Struck ALL herbage ------------------------------------- The emphasis suggests that even unbudded herbage was stricken. Therefore this dissenting view regards the non smiting of WHEAT and SPELT as something miraculous Here the root Aleph-Pay-Lamed is seen as coming from the root Pay-Lamed meaning MIRACLE. We do not further pursue this here except to say that we have a whole section devoted to roots beginning with aleph for example LIST910j. | |||
