======
This module is part of our ADDENDUM series. In this
series we add extra examples to previous units. This
allows new readers to review old ideas.

TODAYS UNIT
===========
Today we present 2 examples from this week parshahs
that illustrates how we infer the meaning of words.

REFERENCE:
=========
This module comes from the following posting. The means-32
module was a GRAND SUMMARY of the 13 techniques of INFERRING
MEANING. In todays postings meaning is inferred from VERSES
with the same phrase.

OLAH vs ZEVACH


EXAMPLE: Ex18-12a OLAH has specific meaning: The OLAH sacrifice
EXAMPLE: Ex18-12b ZEVACH has specific meaning: The SHLAMIM

BACKGROUND
----------
It is well known that there were sacrifices in the temple. There
were in fact 3 types of sacrifices. Examples of these types are
- OLAH was    ANIMAL SACRIFICE & NOTHING EATEN by OWNER
- SHLAMIM was ANIMAL SACRIFICE &         EATEN by OWNER
- MINCHAH was PLANT  SACRIFICE & NOTHING EATEN by OWNER

There were a variety of other sacrifices. SIN and GUILT
offerings had characteristics similar to the OLAH. Every
ANIMAL sacrifice had brought with it WINE LIBATIONS. These
wine libations had characteristics similar to MINCHAH.

TEXT
----
The BIBLE at various points speaks about OLAH & ZEVACH.
ZEVACH is a generic word meaning to SLAUGHTER. OLAH is also
a generic word meaning to go UP. We thus have two possibilities

#1
--
The PHRASE OLAH & ZEVACH is GENERIC:
The PHRASE OLAH and ZEVACH refers to ANY TYPE OF SACRIFICE

#2
--
The phrase OLAH & ZEVACH is SPECIFIC. OLAH refers to that
sacrifice called OLAH (even though the other sacrifices also
go up). ZEVACH refers to SHLAMIM sacrifices which like profane
meat were SLAUGHTERED & EATEN.

Which is it? *1

THE LIST
--------
The proper procedure in this case is not to use logic but
to review verses which use this idiom OLAH & ZEVACH. THe
LIST below brings 5 verses.
-- In 2 of these verses OLAH & ZEVACH has no special
significance. It seems to mean sacrifice

-- But in the last 3 verses the verse is clearly ENUMERATING
types of SACRIFICES. Thus in Dt12-27, for example, we are
told that OLAH and ZEVACH are treated in different manners:
The BLOOD is always poured on the altar but the meat of
ZEVACH is eaten while the meat of OLAH goes to heaven.
Hence it is reasonable to infer that OLAH & ZEVACH are
used specifically not generally.

THE RASHI
---------
Having inferred that OLAH & ZEVACH are specific Rashi proceeds
to comment on the other verses; OLAH means the OLAH
sacrifice while ZEVACH means the SHLAMIM sacrifice.

Here is the list
VERSE TEXT OF VERSE with OLAH and ZEVACHIM
ex18-12 Jethro brought OLAH and ZEVACHIM to God
lv17-08 A person who brings OLAH or ZEVACHIM outside temple...
------- --------------------------------------------------------
lv23-37 You bring SACRIFICES on holidays:OLAH,MICHAH,ZVACH,NSCH
nu15-03 Bring a NESECH when you bring SACRIFICE:OLAH, or ZVCH
Dt12-27 OLAH--blood,meat to God; ZVACH-blood to God, meat to you
COMMENTS
*1 One can NOT use an argument of TOO MANY WORDS. For example
   the BIblical phrase THE ACCOUNT OF EACH DAY AND DAY simply
   means THE DAILY ACCOUNT (The phrase DAY AND DAY has no
   special significance). In other words there are many
   Biblical phrases which use 2 words and have the same
   meaning as one word. So we dont know if OLAH & ZEVACH
   refers to SACRIFICES or to OLAH SACRIFICES & SHLAMIM
