VERSE: Lv21-21a
Lv21-21a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 major goals is to explain style. Style
dictates such issues as whether we interpret a verse
broadly or restrictively.

Rashi employs the Rabbi Ishmael style rules to decide
whether a verse should be interpreted literally or
restrictively.

EXAMPLE
-------
Lv21-18:21 is written in the general-particular-general
style as follows
-- GENERAL: BLEMISHED PRIESTS DO NOT SERVE
-- DETAILS: ----------------------------- Blind,lame,...
-- GENERAL: BLEMISHED PRIESTS DO NOT SERVE

According to Rabbi Ishmael, this GENERAL-DETAIL-GENERAL
style requires a BROAD INTERPRETATION. Hence the Rashi

-- All blemished priests (not just those enumerated
-- such as blind,lame) are prohibited from serving
-- in the Temple
