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 4 Biblical paragraphs
dealing with holidays.


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

http://www.RashiYomi.Com/nu29-06a.htm

Alignment of 3 Chapters on Biblical Holidays


EXAMPLE 52: Nu29-06a On New Year we bring the NEW-MOON offering
EXAMPLE 53: Nu29-11a On Yom Kippur we also bring ATONE offerings
EXAMPLE 54: Nu29-11b On Yom Kippur we also bring DAILY offering

BACKGROUND
----------
Nu29 lists the offerings brought on 8 special days.
--The Daily Offering (Brought every day)
--The Shabbath Offering brought on Shabbath
--The New Month Offering (brought on New Moon)
--The Passover offering brought on Passover
--The Shavuoth Offering
--The New Year Offering
--The Yom Kippur Offering
--The Succoth offering

THE TEXT
--------
Each holiday has the following extra phrase
---------------------------------------------------------------
YOU SHALL BRING THE HOLIDAY OFFERING besides THE DAILY OFFERING
---------------------------------------------------------------
In other words: On e.g. Passover we bring two offerings:
--the Daily Daily-Offering
--the Special Passover offering

THE RASHI
----------
When aligning 4 of these holidays we notice that two of them
have extra phrases. Rashi is Simple: The 2 extra phrases
correspond to THREE sacrifices that have to be brought on
certain holidays. For example: Jewish New Year is ALSO a day
and is ALSO a New Month (the year begins on the 1st of the
month): And Hence we bring on Rosh Hashanah BOTH a DAILY
OFFERING, A NEW MONTH OFFERING as well as a NEW YEAR OFFERING

Here is the LIST of 4 Holidays
VERSEPHRASE1PHRASE2PHRASE3PHRASE4
Nu28-23Besidesthe daily offering.. do these
Nu28-31Besidesthe daily offering.. do these
Nu29-06Besidesthe new moon& the daily offering
Nu29-11Besidesthe YomKipur& the daily offering
Differs*1*2*1*3
COMMENTS

*1 These phrases are the same

*2 Why is THE NEW MOON and THE YOM KIPPUR offering
   mentioned in Nu29-06 and Nu29-11

   On Passover(Nu28-23) and Shavuoth(Nu28-31) there is only
   one extra sacrifice in addition to the holiday sacrifice
   --they daily offering is extra
   so that is the only other sacrifice mentioned

   But on Yom Kippur and Jewish New Year there are 2 other
   sacrifices that have to be brought.
   On Rosh Hashana the following 2 sacrifices are extra
   --the daily sacrifice is extra and
   --the new moon sacrifice is extra on Jewish New Year

   On Yom Kippur the following 2 other sacrifices are extra
   --the daily sacrifice is extra and
   --the YomKippur atonement sacrifices (Since Yom Kippur
   has its own set of sacrifices mentioned in Lv17)

   So Rashi is Simple--the holidays with 2 extra sacrifices
   to be brought have two extra sacrifices mentioned.


*3 Rashi simply points out that the phrase "do these also"
   is elliptically left out of the bottom two verses.
   No reason is given by Rashi why this phrase is left out
   nor do I know of any.
