SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently made inferences based on the Biblical STYLE. We call this Rashi Rule the RABBI ISHMAEL STYLE rule. A powerful style rule was the painting of a verse in a CLIMACTIC DEVELOPMENT manner. We call this the RASHI SUBRULE of CLIMAX EXAMPLE Dt04-22a ------------------- The Biblical text at Dt04-22 states -------------------------- For I Moses die here I do not go into Israel -------------------------- It seems anti-climactic to state - I die OUTSIDE Israel - and will not go in. Because of the requirement that verses be PERCEIVED as being in CLIMACTIC order Rashi reads these verses as follows --------------------------------------------------------------- For I Moses die here I die OUTSIDE Israel I do not go into Israel I wont even be buried in Israel --------------------------------------------------------------- LIST451a below summarizes this argument EXAMPLE Dt10-20a Dt06-13a ------------------------- Both these verses state as follows ---------------------------------- FEAR God SERVE Him CLING to HIM*1 SWEAR BY HIM ---------------------------------- The concept of SWEARING has numerous connotations: - it can connote anger (eg prostitutes swear when angry) - it can connote affirmations of seriousness Rashi's point base on the CLIMACTIC nature of the verse is that SWEARING is only takne seriously by those who - fear God (dont swear haphazardly) - serve and cling to him Such people are then known as PEOPLE WHO SWEAR BY GOD This inference is justified by the CLIMAX form of the verse LIST450z summarizes this climactic structure | ||

Climactic structure of Dt10-20, Dt06-13:Fear,Observe,Cling:SWEAR | |||
| TEXT OF VERSE | CLIMAX | INTERPRETATION REFLECTING CLIMAX | |
| FEAR God | Dont eg SWEAR to express anger | ||
| SERVE Him | Be known as God-fearing | ||
| CLING to HIM*1 | Associate with Godly people | ||
| *2 | SWEAR BY HIM | Oaths of God Fearing taken seriously | |
|
|
|||
*1 The phrase/requirement CLING TO HIM is - present in Dt10-20 - absent in Dt06-13 *2 The concept of SWEARING has numerous connotations: - it can connote anger (eg prostitutes swear when angry) - it can connote affirmations of seriousness Rashi's point is:SWEARING is only takne seriously by those who - fear God (dont swear haphazardly) - serve and cling to him Such people are then known as PEOPLE WHO SWEAR BY GOD This inference is justified by the CLIMAX form of the verse | |||
