- Text of verse: Wow--you-re beautiful--you-re beautiful - Midrash: You-re beautiful in Man-Man laws; Your beautiful in God-Man laws - COMMENT: The Midrash is NOT exhausting the meaning of the text in this one comment. Obviously the Biblical text--you-re beautiful you-re beautiful-- connotes INTENSE admiration of beauty. The Midrash gives but ONE GOOD EXAMPLE of this INTENSE admiration The reader is free to give other examples. Enough--let us examine how Rashi uses this principle - Gn03-01 The MAIN POINT OF THE BIBLICAL TEXT is that the snake was trying to get them to sin (EVEN IF GOD TOLD YOU NOT TO EAT). Rashi suggests that the snake saw Eve eating from the other trees; Radack suggests that Eve told the snake the prohibition of eating from tree of knowledge. The snake says--but you can eat from some trees..maybe you are wrong in what God commanded (the ARE-YOU-SURE argument) Thus Rashi uses this text as a springboard for discussing how people get other people to sin. - Gn43-20a The MAIN POINT OF THE BIBLICAL TEXT is that Joseph cried over meeting Binyamin. Rashi gives GOOD EXAMPLES of what could have happened -- Maybe Binyamin mentioned how he named all his children over his missing brother. Another good example (not given by Rashi!) is that Binyamin could simply mention that his older brother was the brother that was missing--and Binyamin missed him alot - Gn43-34b The MAIN POINT OF THE BIBLICAL TEXT is that after Josephs harshness to the brothers he acted friendly to Binyamin. He invited him to his house, dined with him and blessed him So when the Torah says he gave him a 5-FOLD portion Rashi gives a good example of how this could have happened-- maybe Josephs whole family each gave Binyamin a present Note that in Gn45-22 it says that Binyamin got a 5-fold amount of clothes. But Rashi does not explain this 5-fold amount!!!! Hence we are justified in seeing Rashis explanation of the 5-fold amount in Gn43-34b as a GOOD EXAMPLE not a general principle. To what can this be compared: If I give someone 18 dollars at a wedding. Wouldnt it be wrong to interpret the amount as due to the fact that eg the wedding happened on 18th street. In fact 18 dollars is a normal amount to give at weddings. Similarly with Joseph...there are many 5-folds -- Rashi only interprets only one of them...so he was only giving a good example *14 Rashi introduces a new principle on the TYPICAL EXAMPLE style: Rashi had already explained that - the Torah indicates laws by REQUIRED GENERALIZATIONS that flow from Torah-indicated TYPICAL EXAMPLES - Rashi now further explains these TYPICAL EXAMPLES give PREFERRED PRACTICE. For example - Bible: If you sell TO YOUR COLLEAGUE Rashi: Preferred practice in commerce is to sell to fellow Jews - Bible: If when you are POOR you sell your land plot Rashi: Preferred practice in commerce is not to sell personal property till you are poor I would therefore think that this method applies to all examples in the above list. As a typical example Dt22-23a which speaks about a RAPE IN THE FIELD indicates preferred practice of rapists (They hang out in fields where no one is around)

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
- Rashi description of algebraic dependent procedures

EXAMPLE Lv25-16a Lv25-16b
--------------------------
All land gets returned in the Jubillee year. Hence
when one sells land one should discount the price
according to how many years of produce the person
will have it. Here is a simple example:
So if the field produces $1000 per produce
The sale of the field would be $1000 x Number of years
plus administration and profit. Roughly then,
- a 2 year sale would be $2000
- a 10 year sale would $10000
