SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences or even meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING. EXAMPLE Dt04-17b ---------------- By aligning Dt04-17:18 and Ex20-13:14 we can infer the MEANING of the verse Aleph-Vav-Hey (AVH) ---------------------------------------------------------- Dt04-17:18 dont murder ...dont steal dont COVET dont AVH Ex20-13:14 dont murder ...dont steal dont COVET dont COVET ---------------------------------------------------------- Rashi concludes: AVH is similar in meaning to COVET. Clear, simple and to the point LIST343s below summarizes this argument | ||

*10 Interestingly Rambam offers a distinction between AVH vs COVET -AVH means to DESIRE in ones heart -COVET means to PRESSURE someone into SELLING We of course do not have a controversy here but rather a difference in emphasis - Rambam as a LEGAL CODIFIER emphasizes the legal definitions - Rashi as a BIBLICAL COMMENTATOR emphasizes the methodology to show AVH has a similar meaning to COVET | |||||
