SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The ALIGNMENT method seeks to extract nuances from the minor differences in
the alignment of two almost identical verses. The contrast of the two almost
identical verses points to an emphasis in the minor aligned differences. The
use of alignment to emphasize nuances is similar in tone to the use of
footnotes to emphasize points in modern prose. The ALIGNMENT method can be
used either to infer MEANING, infer NUANCES, or contrast TWO CASES.

EXAMPLE Ex29-11  ALIGNMNET of TWO BLOOD PROCEDURES
-------------------------------------------------
The Biblical text at Ex29-11 reads
----------------------------------------------------
Take/place with finger the blood on altar horns
Throw                  all blood to altar foundation
*1                     *2                 *3
----------------------------------------------------

Rashi makes 3 comments on the 3 aligned differences

FIRST: Rashi notes that one blood was PLACED WITH FINGER ON HORNS
while the remaining blood wsa THROWN to foundation

SECOND: Rashi notes that the word ALL is emphasized indicating
that the THROWING force should be great enough so that ALL
remaining blood (even droplets on vessel edges) are hurled
to foundation

THIRD: In contrast to the HORNS which ARE mentioned in
Ex27-01:08, the altar FOUNDATIONS are not mentioned in
Ex27-01:08. We infer their existence from this verse.
They were probably like any other foundation: A minimal
amount, say one cubit--the rest of the altar laid not
on the ground but rather on the altar foundations.
