SUCCINCT SUMMARY: ----------------- One of Rashis 10 major goals is to illustrate complex geometric designs or algebraic complications. This is called the Rashi method of SPREADSHEETS, since SPREADSHEETS are one method of clarifying a complex relationship. The SPREADSHEET method can refer to any illustration of a verse that clarifies it. EXAMPLE Nu21-13b ---------------- Nu21-13b states ------------------------------ From there they moved, and camped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the borders of the Amorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. ------------------------------ Rashi clarifies the complex geometric design ------------------------------------------------- EMORI LAND | MOAB LAND | ----------------| | EMORI LAND x2 |x1Arnon | ----------------| | -------------------------- Rashi clarifies that - if we picture EMORI and MOAB as rectangles - then EMORI has a PROTRUSION cutting into Moab - this PROTRUSION end at ARNON Hence - ARNON is the BORDER between Moab and EMORI - The Jews camped at spot X2 Now let us re-examine the verse -------------------------------------------------- VERSE PICTURE ----------------- ------------------------ They camped on They camped at OTHER SIDE OF ARNON x2 arnon in wilderness x2 in protrusion comes past Emori borders protrudes ARnon is border x1-x2 is border of Moab and Emori x2 to Emori;x1 to Arnon ------------------------------------------------- This example nicely illustrates why I call this the SPREADSHEET method---Rashi's main goal is to clarify a complex relationship that is hard to visualize. LIST690L below summarizes this spreadsheet pattern. LIST690a presents other Rashis where the SPREADSHEET rule is used. | ||
