SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis main methods is the skillful use of ALIGNMENT to illustrate nuances. The minor differences between TWO ALIGNED verses powerfully suggests explicit concepts. We call this the ALIGNMENT method. When the ALIGNMENT method is used to infer NUANCES we speak about the NUANCE SUBRULE of the ALIGNMENT method. EXAMPPLE Gn34-16b ----------------- Rashi here aligns the following verses ----------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE FROM TO PHRASE1 PHRASE2 -------- ----- ----- ---------------------- --------------------- Gn34-16b Jews Schem We-ll GIVE our girls We-ll TAKE your girls Gn34-21 Schem Jews We-ll TAKE their girls We-ll GIVE our girls Differs *1 *1 *2 *2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Rashi states ---------------------------------------------- Note how each side (Jews, Schem) states that - we will GIVE OUR women but - we will TAKE YOUR women Thus each side emphasizes that their women are special and will only be given if they consent. ---------------------------------------------- LIST308g summarizes this ALIGNMENT. One can find many similar alignments in the LIST307 and LIST308 series. EXAMPLE Gn36-02:03 vs Gn26-34 Gn28-09 ------------------------------------- Gn36-02:03 and Gn26 both list 3 wives for Esauv. However the wives have different names. Rashi interprets the meaning of their names based on their roots. This gives philosophical insights. The three alignments are as follows ---------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE Wife Name Daughter Of Nationality ------ ------- --------------- -------- --------- Gn36-02a Adah Daughter of Aylon the Hitite Gn26-34 Basmath Daughter of Aylon the Hitite RASHI ---------------------------------------- Clearly we are talking about the same wife. BASMATH means PERFUME. So she did some perfume related activity Either she - would perfume herself alot or - she would offer perfume offerings to idolatry ------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE Wife Name Daughter Of Nationality ------ ------- --------------- -------- --------- Gn36-03a Basmath Daughter of Ishmael Gn28-09 Machlath Daughter of Ishmael Rashi --------------------------------------------------- Clearly we are talking about the same wife. MACHLATH means ATONE. Gn26-33 states that ESAUV learned that ISAAC his father did not like his other wives. Perhaps then MACHLATH refers to Esauvs prayers that his new marriage should atone his relationship with his father --------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE Wife Name Daughter Of Nationality ------ ------- --------------- -------- --------- Gn36-02b Ahalivamah Illegitimate Daughter of Anah the Hitite Gn26-34 Yehudith Daughter of Beyri The Hitite Rashi --------------------------------------------------- The identity of the two wives is not as clear her but we can use analogy with the other two wives to prove it. Yehudith means JEWISH. Perhaps then Esauv called his wife JEWISH to fool his father into thinking that she was interested in his religion ---------------------------------------------------- LIST308h below summarizes these alignments. The LIST307 and LIST308 series gives many more examples of ALIGNMENT | ||
