VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ Many Rashis are basic, explaining MEANING or GRAMMAR However some Rashis are based on comparisons with other verses. When several similar verses are ALIGNED, the minor differences in these verses suggest new laws. EXAMPLE ------- The 4 chapters in Lv17 give several illustrations of this rule. As the simplest example the introduction -- ANY JEW -- ANY JEW -- ANY JEW -- ANY SOUL clearly shows a contrast. Rashi suggests that ANY SOUL includes the obligation to admonish minors. Other examples are compactly exhibited in the list below | ||

Alignment of the 4 paragraphs in Lv17. The 3 differences shown below in the alignment suggest nuances.*11 | ||||
VERSE | INTRO | ACTIVITY INVOLVED | PUNISHMENT | |
Lv17-03 | Any Jew | who SLAUGHTERS... | CUT OFF | |
Lv17-08 | Any Jew | who OFFERS ... | CUT OFF | |
Lv17-13 | Any Jew | who HUNTS ... | CUT OFF | |
Lv17-15 | Any SOUL | who EATS CARCASS.... | BEARS SIN | |
Differs | *1 | *2 | *3 | |
|
||||
*1 Any JEW vs Any SOUL implies that minors (SOUL) should be admonished not to do these activities *2 These paragraphs deal with prohibited activities - SLAUGHTERING a sacrifice outside temple situation - OFFERING the sacrifice organs outside temple - HUNTED ANIMALS (With proper slaughtering) must have their blood buried in the ground. People eating blood are cut off from their people - eating a carcass (Non-ritually slaughtered) *3 BEARS SIN sounds LIGHTER than CUT OFF - CUT OFF means EXTINCTION and HELL - BEARS SIN means either ---- CUT OFF or ---- LASHES *10 | ||||
|

*10 Rashi points out (by cross referencing other verses) that -- not immersing (and eating) has a cutoff punishment (eg Compare Lv23-01:09 (particularly Lv23-08:09) -- it follows (FROM THE ALIGNMENT) that if he merely did not immerse his ritually impure garments he would only be liable to lashes Note that Lv23 gives the prohibitions of dealing with temple items while in impurity. All prohibitions are AT LEAST punishable by lashes. When the Bible explicitly says so the punishment may be stronger (CUTOFF) So....the CUTOFF punishment is mentioned by non-immersion of one self but not mentioned by immersion of clothes. Hence the Rashi (We have only dealt with sentence structure--- Rashis further technical comments on this verse will be discussed in an other issue) *11 Technically we are using the BULLET method of indicating paragraphs. Recall that this method suggests that the Bible indicates PARAGRAPHING by skillful use of repeated phrases. Hence the phrase ANY JEW which occurs 3 times introduces 3 paragraphs in Lv17. More details can be obtained by studying the above list. |
