SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently infers conclusions from the OVERALL PARAGRAPH structure and its development style EXAMPLE Lv14 ------------ - TOPIC: LEPER PURIFICATION CEREMONY - Lv14-01:20 LAMB VERSION: ------ Day 1: Take Cedar, hyssop... ------ Day 7: Shave whole body ------ Day 8: Offer LAMB sacrifices - Lv14-21:32 BIRD VERSION ------ Day 1: Not mentioned explicitly in text ------ Day 7: Not mentioned explicitly in text ------ Day 8: Offer BIRD sacrifices Thus the parallel structure makes it clear that BOTH the bird and lamb version of the leper purification ceremony have identical procedures on the 1st and 7th day and offer their respective sacrifices on the 8th day. In particular we infer that the Torah was silent about the 1st and 7th day in the Bird version because it is identical to the 1st and 7th day in the lamb version. In this case the inferences are based on PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE. | ||

*1 From the PARALLEL paragraph construction we infer that BOTH the LAMB and BIRD leper purification ceremony had - the Shaving procedure on the 7th day - the Hyssop,Cedar, Worm-wool procedure on the 1st day The Bible only dealt with the fact that different animals are brought (LAMB vs BIRD) but on the same 8th day Hence, here, we have an example of inference from overall paragraph structure | ||||
