SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently infers conclusions from the OVERALL
PARAGRAPH structure and its development style

EXAMPLE Lv22-04:07
------------------
The above verses NATURALLY form a Biblical Paragraph
that BULLETS possibilities of becoming IMPURE followed
by a purification procedure. Here is the outline

- INTRODUCTION: If a priest become impure thru
- BULLET--1---  Leprosy
- BULLET--2---  Unusual flows
- CONCLUSION--  Then he shouldnt eat OFFERINGS till pure
- BULLET--3---  Or if he touches someone UNCLEAN to the dead
- BULLET--4---  Or a man with seminal flow
- BULLET--5---  Or he touches a dead animal
- BULLET--6---  Or he touches a man IN ANY STATE OF UNCLEANESS
- CONCLUSION    When he becomes impure he cant eat offerings
- CONCLUSION    until he goes to Mikvah and waits till evening
- CONCLUSION    Only then can he eat from the Offerings

As can be seen BULLETS (3) and (6) seem to refer to
touching UNCLEAN men. Since this is a bulleted list
it is natural to identify these as two cases:
- BULLET 3 refers to a priest who touches someone
who had touched a dead man
- BULLET 6 refers to a priest who touches a dead man himself

Furthermore since BULLET 6 carries the phrase IN ANY UNCLEAN
STATE we are justified in including someone who touches
a live human in ANY unclean human states (leprosy, flow)

BULLET--1--- Leprosy
BULLET--2--- Unusual flows

BULLET--3--- Or if He touches someone UNCLEAN to the dead*1
BULLET--4--- Or a man with seminal flow
BULLET--5--- Or he touches a dead animal
BULLET--6--- Or he touches a man IN ANY STATE OF UNCLEANESS*1
CONCLUSION When he becomes impure he cant eat offerings
CONCLUSION until he goes to Mikvah and waits till evening
CONCLUSION Only then can he eat from the Offerings
COMMENTS
*1 The precise Rashi argument is as follows
- The paragraph structure CLEARLY shows a BULLETED LIST
- Hence we are justified in identifying each BULLET
as a separate item
- But bullets 3 and 6 seem to refer to contact with humans
- So Rashi interprets bullet 3 as a priest who touches
a person who touched a dead body
- but bullet 6 refers to a priest who touches a dead body

Furthermore,
since bullet 6 states IN ANY UNCLEAN STATE we are justified
in including all unclean human states (CONTACT WITH DEAD,
LEPROSY, UNUSUAL FLOW)*10
