VERSE: Lv13-35a
RASHIS COVERED: Lv13-35a Lv13-44a
Lv13-35a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
All languages have a variety of methods to indicate EMPHASIS
and SIMILARLITY. Modern typesetting methods use BOLD and ITALICS
to indicate EMPHASIS. Modern typesetting methods use BULLETS to
indicate SIMILARITY.

The Bible did not have BOLD and ITALICS. Rather the Bible used
REPETITION to indicate emphasis. This emphasis could in turn
either indicate BROADENING or RESTRICTION of meaning.

EXAMPLE Lv13-35a
----------------
The Biblical text at Lv13-35a states
---------------------------------------------
but if the leprosy SPREADS SPREADS after it
becomes PURE
---------------------------------------------

Rashi comments
-------------------------------------------------
Notice the repeated phrase:
- SPREAD SPREAD
The repetition creates emphasis.
----------------------------------
- If the leprosy spreads
- - whether after it becomes pure
- - or while it is still impure
----------------------------------

LIST150a below gives other examples where REPETITION
creates broad emphasis.

EXAMPLE Lv13-44a
----------------
The Biblical text of Lv13-32:45 is as follows
----------------------------------------------------
If on his baldness there is pinkish affiction then
leprosy is sprouting in his baldness; the priest
reviews and confirms the pinkish affliction in his
baldness just like skin leprosy...[then] this person
is leprous and is ritually impure; the priest shall
DECLARE DECLARE him impure and the lepor with the
affliction: his garments shall be rent and his head
left wild....
-----------------------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the repeated words DECLARE DECLARE
-----------------------------------------------------
The words DECLARE DECLARE encourage a BROAD
interpretation of this chapter: The requirements of
declaration, garment renting and head left wild apply
not only to the subject of the chapter---a bald person
with leprosy---but apply to ANY lepor
-----------------------------------------------------


LIST150a presents verses where Repetition motivates a broad
interpretation of words.

--------------------------------------
..first the witnesses execute...then the people execute
--------------------------------------

*2 See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv05-02a.htm for a full
discussion of the three Rashi methods connected with
this verse.

*3 e.g. If PART of meat fell outside temple (and is thereby
impure) then you can still eat the part of the meat
that remained inside the temple (even though the two
parts are connected)

*4 The text of Lv13-32:45 is as follows
----------------------------------------------------
If on his baldness there is pinkish affiction then
leprosy is sprouting in his baldness; the priest
reviews and confirms the pinkish affliction in his
baldness just like skin leprosy...[then] this person
is leprousand is ritually impure; the priest shall
DECLARE DECLARE him impure and the lepor with the
affliction: his garments shall be rent and his head
left wild....
-----------------------------------------------------

The words DECLARE DECLARE encourage a BROAD
interpretation of this chapter: The requirements of
declaration, garment renting and head left wild apply
not only to the subject of the chapter---a bald person
with leprosy---but apply to ANY lepor
