EXAMPLE: Lv03-04c Take FINGER of LIVER with a LITTLE LIVER EXAMPLE: Lv19-28a Dont pulling-hair-out FOR MOURNING EXAMPLE: Lv21-05a Dont bald patches ANYPLACE on head EXAMPLE: Lv21-05b Shaving with CHEMICALS/TWEEZERS/SCISSORS OK ------------------------------------------ TODAYS RASHI RULE: ALIGNMENT TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: MULTIPLE CRITERIA ------------------------------------------ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RULE Many Rashis do NOT focus on an internal analysis of the verse. But when the given verse is compared with another verse--that is, when the two verses are ALIGNED together-- we see blatant differences. The ALIGNED verses therefore suggest that these ALIGNED DIFFERENCES were deliberately placed there to emphasize certain nuances. STANDARD EXAMPLE Perhaps the simplest example are the 11 verses requiring the FINGER OF THE LIVER to be offered in the sacrifices. Here are some sample verses: Ex29-22 the finger OF-- the liver Lv03-04 the finger ON-- the liver Lv09-10 the finger FROM the liver STUDENT EXERCISES: ------------------ -- What is the SAME in the ALIGNED verses -- What is DIFFERENT in the ALIGNED verses -- Give examples of EACH of these differences -- Indicate how these differences COMBINE into one law -- (Advanced) Defend that all 3 verses apply to one situation RASHIS SOLUTION --------------- - The phrase FINGER OF THE LIVER means you take the LIVER FINGER - FINGER ON THE LIVER means take a little bit of the liver with the finger (that is, dont scrape off the liver attached to the finger) - FINGER FROM THE LIVER uses the word FROM indicating SEPARATION; so you shouldnt take alot of liver with the finger; rather take the finger and a little bit of liver (Where the liver and finger meet) STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE --------------------------------- http://www.Rashiyomi.com/align-58.htm Or you can visit the Rashi Yomi Calendar at http://www.RashiYomi.com/calendar1.htm This calendar presents a day by day listing of Rashis. The ALIGNMENT series occurs between 7-28-01 and 10-10-01. TODAYS RASHI ------------ We study various idolatrous mourning prohibitions. Further details may be found in the main posting. http://www.RashiYomi.com/h13n20.htm | ||||

*4 The extra phrase FOR THE DEAD shows that these practices
(ripping out here; destroying the beard; mutilating skin)
were done by the idolaters as mourning practices for death
(Rashi: Lv19-28a)
*2 One verse calls it DESTROY while another verse calls it
SHAVE. We conclude that both SHAVING AND DESTRUCTION must
be present. Hence shaving by SCISSORS, TWEEZERS
(non-destructive instruments), or
CHEMICALS (which is not called shaving)is not prohibited
*1 *3 SInce the Bible mentions BOTH balding the HEAD
and between the EYES I infer that BALDING on the
whole head is prohibited to priests and Israelites.
