VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 methods in explaining Biblical exegesis
is to use the ALIGNMENT method. In the ALIGNMENT method
we align almost identical verses, word for word. The
minor differences in these verses illumines nuances

EXAMPLE Nu23-17a
----------------
- Nu23-06 ALL of Balaks staff waited for Bilams Curse
- Nu23-17a------ Balaks staff waited for Bilams curse

RASHI: The 2nd time only SOME (not ALL) of the staff
waited. When they saw that God would not allow the
curse the first time they gave up!

Alignment of 2 verses    ALL STAFF vs STAFF;some had left
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2 PHRASE3 PHRASE4
Nu23-06 He RETURNED to him; behold...; he and ALL staff
Nu23-17a He CAME to him; behold HIM he and sfaff
Differs *1 *2 *3 *4
COMMENTS
 
*1 In Nu23-06 Bilam RETURNED...He thought like Balak that
God would allow the curse

But in Nu23-17a Bilam CAME...he didnt RETURN...he knew
that he couldnt curse the Jews

*2 Same phrase in both verses

*3 The first time everyone expected God to curse them
The second time only Balak expected; hence the BEHOLD HIM
- Bilam no longer expected a curse from GOD (CAME vs RETURNED)
- BALAKs staff deserted him (he and ALL staff vs he and staff)

*4 he and ALL staff vs he and staff. ALL Balaks staff was with
him the first time. But when they saw that God did not
let the curse many of his staff retracted and returned.
