*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

*2 Of course verse Nu05-02 only lists Bullets A,B,C once.
I have repeated them to show the correspondence with
Lv22-04:07. The paragraph design itself suggests that
the 3 Bullets of Nu05-02 (A,B,C) refer to the same
class of items in Bullets 1,2,3,4,5,6 in Lv22-04:07.

That is both paragraphs refer to the same classes
of unclean people
- Lepors
- People with flows (Unusual or ordinary)
- Contact with dead (Dead people,dead animals,or
people who touched dead people)
We clearly see here that the inference is based on
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE vs NUANCES OF WORDS *11

*10 LIST005n presents the five meanings of ALL (one of which
is ANY which indicates that ANY uncleanness can be
included - NO EXCEPTION)

*11 This method of inference--based on broad paragraph design
differs from the traditional methods--say that of the Malbim,
-- who makes these inferences from INDIVIDUAL WORDS (vs
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE)--that is Malbim infers from
the phrases--ALL people with flow and ALL people with
uncleanness to the spirit--Malbim infers from these
phrases that we include ALL unclean people(Unusual vs
ordinary flows etc).

I believe this example hilights the difference between my
approach (Emphasis on paragraph structure and broad sweeping
design) vs the traditional approach of say Nechama Leibowitz,
Rabbi Boncheck, or Malbim. While there might be sympathy
for making inferences from the word ALL, I think that my
position, that inferences can be made from PARAGRAPH DESIGN
is equally cogent.

In passing I would answer Malbim as follows:
- The sifrah in Lv22-04:07 clearly derives from the word
- ALL that the laws apply eg to other unclean people such as
- those who have had contact with a lepor
- (vs the lepor himself) Since the Sifrah makes this
- inference in Leviticus I think a similar inference is
- justified in Numbers.

At any rate to summarize:
- The references of the Bullets in Lv and Nu are made,
according to me, based on broad paragraph design.
Both sets of bullets refer to the same items
- Malbim however infers the sameness of reference
based on the meaning and nuances of individual words
like ALL which indicates broad meaning.
- I go further and infer from the word ALL that all other
unclean people are included in these laws.

This is a fundamental difference in approach--carefully
review this and understand it.
