Ex39-03a (C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04
|
SUCCINT SUMMARY:
----------------
Rashi sometimes gathers a collection of verses, each with some
numerical attribute, and does an accounting audit using
spreadsheet methods. In the spreadsheet method we also include
- Rashi description of complicated Geometric designs
- Rashi description of multi-step procedures
EXAMPLE Ex38-07a
----------------
The altar is described as HOLLOW BOARDED. Rashi describes
the structure--it was like a HOLLOW BOX
EXAMPLE Ex39-03a
----------------
Rashi describes the 3 step procedure by which threads
were gold twined
- gold was flattened into sheets
- the sheets were cut vertically into threads
- the gold threads were twined with flax and wool threads
EXAMPLE Ex39-31a Ex28-37a
-------------------------
Thru a variety of almost contradictory verses Rashi
describes the complicated geometric design of the
Priestly HeadPlate
- Priest wore a turban on his head
- The HeadPlate was like a mask
- Headplate was on forehead just below turban
- Headplate had 3 sets of azure threads
- 2 threads at end and one in middle
- 2 threads at end tied in back to secure the Headplate
- Thread in middle went over head and tied in back
- Thread in middle held up the HeadPlate
EXAMPLE Ex38-08a
----------------
Thru an audit of the copper used in the temple
for nine items we find that
- 8 of the items were covered by copper donations
- 1 of the items (The basin) was covered by
mirrors of women. Further verses may then be
brought to show that these mirrors were use
to enhance marital intimacy.
