 GOALS
=====
This module studies the ALIGNMENT method in Rashi. In this
method 2 different verses are found to be ALMOST the same.
The verses are lined up and the minor differences between
them function as footnotes illuminating the text.


TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we review the alignment
of verses on trumpet blasts. We find some trumpet
blasts are used to signal a move while others
are used to signal a gathering

REFERENCE:
=========
Todays unit comes from the following posting

ALIGNMENT OF VERSES ON USE OF TRUMPETS
 

 EXAMPLE 27: Nu10-03a One blast on 2 trumpets gathers the nation
 EXAMPLE 28: Nu10-03b One blast on 2 trumpets gathers the nation
 EXAMPLE 29: Nu10-04a One blast on 1 trumpet- gathers the elders
 EXAMPLE 30: Nu10-04b One blast on 1 trumpet- gathers the elders
 EXAMPLE 31: Nu10-05a A Blast-Stacattor-Blast signals a move


BACKGROUND
----------
There were 600,000 Jews in the desert. They needed signals
to tell them when to move, when to gather, when the leaders
should gather etc

THE TEXT
--------
The Biblical text Nu10-03:05 gives three different
types of trumpet blasts corresponding to 3 different functions
--TO GATHER leaders--------------1 Blast on 1 trumpet
--TO GATHER nation---------------1 Blast on 2 Trumpets
--to JOURNEY nation--------------Use a BLAST-STACATTO-BLAST

THE RASHI
---------
While the verses more or less say the above, Rashi GUIDES
us thru the verses and shows us how each Biblical phrase
corresponds to some component of the above rule. This
guidance is facilitated by the LIST.

Here is the list
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2 PHRASE3 PHRASE4 <

Nu10-03 IF you blast in both THEN the nation gathers<
Nu10-04 IF you blast in one THEN the leaders gathers<
Nu10-05 IF you blast a stacatto THEN the nation moves
Differs *1 *2 *3 *4 *5

COMMENTS

*1 These verses are all the same

*2 So BLASTING A STACATTO is a signal for the NATION TO MOVE
   In the main posting (URLS above) we show that
   - the Biblical phrase BLAST refers to a LONG BLAST
   - the Biblical phrase BLASTING A STACATTO refers to a
   ------ LONG blast
   ------ followed by a STACATTO blast(Like a machine gun)
   ------ followed by a LONG blast
   This is known as TRT (Tkiah, Truah, Tkiah)

   This analysis is based on the Malbim who brilliantly showed
   that there are 3 Biblical phrases for trumpet blowing
   ---BLAST             (TEKATEM)
   ---BLAST A STACCATTO (TEKATEM TERUAH)
   ---STACCATTO         (TERUAH)

   Verses justifying this are brought in the main posting.
   We also use Shenkerian musical analysis to explain the
   translation of the Biblical phrase BLAST A STACCATTO
   to refer to the sequence BLAST, STACCATTO, BLAST (tekiah,
   teruah, tekiah) This brief summary will suffice here

*3 -A blast on TWO TRUMPETS leads to GATHERING of the NATION
   -A blast on ONE TRUMPTET leads to GATHERING of the LEADERS

*4 -A blast on TWO TRUMPETS leads to GATHERING of the NATION
   -A blast on ONE TRUMPTET leads to GATHERING of the LEADERS

*5 -An ORDINARY BLAST leads to GATHERINGS (of nation/leaders)
   -A STACATTO BLAST leads to A NEW JOURNEY (of nation)
