VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Traditional Rashi-ists--such as Dr Leibowitz or Rabbi
Boncheck frequently emphasize the grammatical-
analytic approach to Rashi. Rashi, we are told, focuses
on grammatical anomaly and extra words. The buzz-word
is the QUESTION--the BOTHER--the ANNOYANCE. In other
words to understand Rashi is to understand a tension
that is bothering him--the RASHI QUESTION--and see how
Rashi answers and resolves the tension.

By contrast we, on this list, have emphasized the ideas
of tone, structure. A Rashi need not have a bothersome
point. Rashi may simply be pointing out the OVERALL
STRUCTURE of a BIblical paragraph. Today we present
6 examples of this approach--we simply present a
BULLETED list of the items in Lv14-10:21. The Rashis
naturally and effortlessly flow from the list Without
any questions being asked

EXAMPLES 1-3
------------
Lv14-10 mentions 4 Lepor Purification ITEMS:
- the 2 lambs
- the 3rd lamb
- the 3 minchah offerings
- the quart (Log*1) of oil
Lv14-11:21 then elaborate how these items are used
in various ACTIVITIES. This elegant contrast
of ITEM vs ACTIVITY gives rise to 3 Rashis on
overall structure

EXAMPLE 1-3
-----------
- The 2 lambs correspond to the SIN and UP Offering
- The 3rd lamb above corresponds to the GUILT offering
- The 3 minchahs are one minchah each per 3 offerings
- The OIL QUART is used later for various sprinklings

EXAMPLES 4-5
------------
The simple elegant progression of bullets
- BRING NEAR the lamb
- WAIVE it
- SLAUGHTER
suggests that
- BRINGING near refers to BRINGING the lamb into the
sanctuary (Even though BRINGING traditionally means
to OFFER here we use the literal meaning since it
fits into sequence)
- WAIVING is done to the LIVE animal (Because WAIVE
occurs before SLAUGHTER).

We present two lists below
- List104a is a bulleted list of all items/procedures
- List104b compactly exhibits the overall structure

We list items and procedures in the lepor purification
ceremony presented in Lv14-10:21. The items are numbered
A-P. Notice how A-D outline the 4 OBJECT CLASSES used in
the procedure while E-P outline the 12 ACTIVITIES
performed in the lepor-purification procedure.

The cross references between these two sublists are
summarized in List104b.

The footnotes illuminate lessons learned from the SEQUENCE
of A-P.

Rashi shows how the 4 ITEMS listed in Lv14-10 are
later used in the 12 LEPOR procedures. For example
the ONE LAMB mentioned in #B ccorresponds to the lamb
used for the GUILT OFFERING and explicitly mentioned
in #E and #F. These correspondences of items and
activities are the subject of 3 Rashis at Lv14-10
and correspond to the Rashi rule of OVERALL STRUCTURE
