SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment, that is, the word by word comparison, of almost identical 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 identifies two cases from the ALIGNMENT we call this the Rashi subrule of TWO CASES -When Rashi infers nuances from the variations betweent the almost similar verses we call this the Rashi subrule of NUANCES. -When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING. EXAMPLE Dt31-12a,b,c -------------------- Dt31-12:13 speak about ------------------------------------------------------------ Gathering the people to hear the reading of the law Dt31-12 Men Women Infants Aliens-to HEAR,LEARN,FEAR,OBSERVE Dt31-13 --------- Children -------to HEAR,LEARN,FEAR,------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Rashi (paraphrased) ---------------------------------------------------- Notice how OBSERVE is absent in Dt31-13 which speaks about - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Their CHILDREN WHO DO NOT YET KNOW - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thus - ADULTS come to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR-OBSERVE - CHILDREN come to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR We can generalize this approach of the verse that - different groups (Adults, children, aliens, women) - come for different purposes. Namely - WOMEN comes principally to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR (and observe their commandments) - INFANTS come to enable those who bring them to obtain reward - ALIENS come to learn to REVERE and respect prophecy (Not in the verse or Rashi but logical). From this verse I infer that the Noachides BESIDES having 7 laws also have an 8th law----to respect prophetic orders (else how could they be held accountable for their actions). --------------------------------------------------- The basic thrust of Rashi is that the ALIGNMENT teaches us that - DIFFERENT GROUPS - COME FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES. Rashi (and I) then state how this general principle is implemented. Even if you disagree with my interpretation the IDEA of assigning roles to each person is fundamental.

*1 The verse speaks about the ritual of ---------------------------------------------------- Gathering the people to hear the reading of the law once every 7 years ---------------------------------------------------- *2 Dt31-12 speaks about the 4 groups - MEN WOMEN INFANTS ALIENS Dt31-13 speaks only about CHILDREN *3 The same in each verse *4 Notice how MEN come to HEAR LEARN FEAR OBSERVE while CHILDREN WHO DO NOT YET KNOW come to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR Thus the extra word OBSERVE is conspicuously added to Dt31-12. From this difference Rashi infers the fundamental principle that - Different groups - come for different purposes.*10 | ||||||||||

*10 From the verse we can explicitly infer that - ADULTS come to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR-OBSERVE - CHILDREN come to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR We can then generalize this approach of the verse that - different groups (Adults, children, aliens, women) - come for different purposes. Namely - WOMEN comes principally to HEAR-LEARN-FEAR (and observe their commandments) - INFANTS come to enable those who bring them to obtain reward - ALIENS come to learn to REVERE and respect prophecy (Not in the verse or Rashi but logical). From this verse I infer that the Noachides BESIDES having 7 laws also have an 8th law----to respect prophetic orders (else how could they be held accountable for their actions). The basic thrust of Rashi is that the ALIGNMENT teaches us that - DIFFERENT GROUPS - COME FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES. Rashi (and I) then state how this general principle is implemented.
