 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 align 2 verses dealing with intermarriage


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

ALIGNMENT OF TWO VERSES ON INTERMARRIAGE #1
 

BACKGROUND
----------
The Torah in various places prohibits intermarriage. There
are two possible forms of intermarriage: (His son--your daughter
or vice versa)

THE TEXT
--------
We align the two texts on intermarriage below

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi infers that Religion follows the mother from the Dt verse!
But the inference is ill-founded.Rashi however becomes simple &
clear once we realize that Rashi was using the technique of
OTHER VERSES: It was the ALIGNMENT of the Dt and Ex verse
from which we learn the fact that religion follows the mother

Read the lists below and judge for yourself
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2

Dt07-03 your daughter their son their daughter your son
Ex34-16 -----------*1---------- their daughter your son
Differs *1 *2

COMMENTS

*1 FIRST: There are two possible types of intermarriage
   -------------------------------------------
   -Your daughter but their (non-jewish) son
   -Your son      but their daughter
   -------------------------------------------

   Next notice how Dt07-03 mentions BOTH types of
   intermarriage while Ex34-16 mentions only the
   YOUR-SON-THEIR-DAUGHTER intermarriage.

   Now examine the next list and footnote #2





ALIGNMENT OF TWO VERSES ON INTERMARRIAGE #2
 
Continuation of the above list on intermarriage.
Notice how Rashis derivation that the religion follows
the mother really comes from Exodus rather than Deuteronomy
VERSE PHRASE1

Dt07-03 --------------------*1----------------------------
Ex34-16 and their daughters will lead your children astray
Differs *1

COMMENTS

*2 But Ex34-16 continues with the reason
   for prohibiting intermarriage
   ----------------------------------
   Because THEIR DAUGHTER might lead
   your (Grand)children astray
   ----------------------------------

   The facts that Ex34-16
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   -only mentions the THEIR-DAUGHTER-YOUR-SON intermarriage
   -worries about THEIR DAUGHTER leading grandchildren astray
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   leads one to the conclusion that
   -----------------------------------------
   the grandchildren follow the mother in religion (and hence
   it would be a concern in the THEIR-DAUGHTER-YOUR-SON
   intermarriage to worry about losing the grandchildren (Because
   they arent Jewish and would not want to convert)
