RASHIS COVERED: Dt03-28c Joshua was BOTH spiritual & Military leader

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Dt03-28 uses the repeated keyword HE. A fundamental Rashi rule
is that REPEATED KEYWORDS are the Bibles way of indicating,
what are in modern notation called,bullets. In modern notation
we would write the verse as follows
-* Assign Joshua because HE will (SPIRITUALLY) lead the people
-* --------------------& HE will (MILITARALY) divide the land
The 2 bullets indicate that MILITARY conquest MUST be accompanied
by SPIRITUAL leadership even in military obvious situations.
Several other examples of this SPIRITUAL-MILITARY relationship
are exhibited.

TODAYS RASHI RULE:    TYPING TECHNIQUES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: BULLETS
------------------------------------------------------

BRIED DESCRIPTION OF RULE and SUBRULE
-------------------------------------
A modern typist has a rich variety of techniques to
indicate emphasis. Among these techniques are such
methods as
- BOLD, ITALICS, UNDERLINES
- PARAGRAPHS
- BULLETING
- TABLES

The Bible did not implement these typing techniques
the same way modern typists do. Instead the Bible had
special methods of indicating these techniques.

The Bible implemented a BULLET STRUCTURE by using a
REPEATED KEYWORD

STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
Here is a good example.

Lv16-32a
--------------------------------------------------------
The priest, WHO is annointed & WHOse hands are consecrated,
....will perform these day of atonement procedures
--------------------------------------------------------

EXERCISE
--------
Notice the repeated keyword. Here is the exercise.
Rewrite this verse in modern BULLET notation using
either bullets or else the repeated keyword. The
solution is immediately presented below.


RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Lv16-32a (Bullet style using repeated words)
---------------------------------------------------
The priest
-- WHO is annointed
-- WHO is dressed in the 8 priestly garments
will perform these day of atonement procedures
---------------------------------------------------

Lv16-32a (Bullet style using bullets)
---------------------------------------------------
The priest
* (if) annointed
* (if) donned with the 8 priestly garments
will perform these day of atonement procedures
---------------------------------------------------

The bullets create an atmosphere of emphasis. TWO
points are being emphasized. Without the bullets I
would assume the Torah is using a conversational style:
I would assume they are talking about THE PRIEST WHO
WAS CONSECRATED BY ANNOINTMENT.

Since the bullets emphasize TWONESS we conclude that
the day of atonement procedures can be performed by
either a high priest that was annointed or else by
a high priest who was consecrated by being dressed
in the 8 garments *1

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how: If you are a teacher then you
can present the verses and then ask the students to
do 3 things
-- find the repeated keyword (for example WHO)
-- rewrite the verse in BULLET form
-- try and guess what the bullets emphasize
The student can then compare their answers with Rashis.

TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
The bullet structure of todays verse is repeated below
in table form. Footnotes further clarify.

We bring 3 verses indicating that victory occured because of
some inconsequential physical act(eg When MOSES LIFTED HIS HANDS
the Jews won and WHEN HE LET HIS HANDS DOWN they lost).

The Talmud symbolically*10 interprets this to mean: When Moses
LIFTED HIS HANDS IN PRAYER the Jews won. The other examples
are below
