SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi sometimes makes inferences from WORD MEANINGS and GRAMMAR
However Rashi can equally make inferences from OVERALL
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE. Rashi frequently uses REPEATING KEYWORDS
to emphasize a BULLET-LIKE affect which hilights structure.

EXAMPLE Dt29-09:20 Dt29-18d Dt29-18e Dt29-18f
---------------------------------------------
In Dt29-09:20, the keyword LEST functions to indicate paragraph
structure.

- God is making a CONVENANT UNDER CURSE with you
-
- - You have seen the idol-gods of other nations
- - - LEST there be someone whose HEART TURNS towards idols
- - - LEST there be someone in whom poisonous SIN HAS A ROOT
- - - AND then talks himself into believing that it is OK TO SIN
- - - Then God will judge him for both WILLFUL & ACCIDENTAL SIN
- - God will not forgive him
- - God will be enraged by him
-
- This CURSE will apply to him

Note the following bullet features
- The Beginning and End verses both mention the CURSE
Thus this entire paragraph is about the convenant of the curse

- Note how the last 3 clauses
- - NO FORGIVE,
- - ENRAGED,
- - CURSE
exhibit a CLIMAX behavior and hence represent one theme.

- Note how the middle 3 sentences are BULLETED by the keyword
LEST. We emphasize the nature of the BULLET method---
----------------------------------------------------------------
the Rashi inference does not come from the Hebrew words used but
rather from the STRUCTURE of the paragraph
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hence Rashi translates
- LEST someones HEART TURNS = (Inadvertent sin)
- LEST someone has a POISONOUS ROOT = (Sinned once or twice)
- AND he thinks IT IS OK TO SIN
- But the only consequence of this is that
- the SATIATED WILL BE ADDED TO THE THIRSTY
(punished for both INADVERTENT and WILLFUL)

These Rashi inferences
- HEART TURNS = INADVERTENT SIN
- POISON HAS A ROOT = SINNED ONCE OR TWICE
- PEACE WILL BE WITH ME = OK TO SIN
- SATIATED = INADVERTENT SIN
- THIRSTY = WILLFUL SIN
these Rashi inferences were made BECAUSE OF THE BULLET PARAGRAPH
STRUCTURE. That is, the BULLET STRUCTURE is the driving
force behind the derivation.

A further point should be made: What I call the BULLET structure
is identical with the Rabbi Ishmael exegetical rule of INFERRING
FROM CONTEXT. More will be said below in the lists.
