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
COMMENTS
*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

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*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.
