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 verses on BLEMISHES
in sacrifices.


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

Alignment of 4 verses on Sacrifice Blemishes
 


EXAMPLE 55: Nu28-31a Both sacrifices & libations are unblemished

BACKGROUND
----------
Nu28 describes the sacrifices brought on the Jewish holidays.
By several sacrifices it mentions that the sacrifices must
be unblemished

THE TEXT
--------
The typical text says OFFER THESE SACRIFICES...THEY
SHOULD BE UNBLEMISHED

THE RASHI
----------
One of these verses adds the phrase THEY WILL BE
UNBLEMISHED WITH THEIR LIBATIONS. Hence we infer that
that BOTH
--the sacrifices
--& their (accompanying wine) libations
must be unblemished

Here is the LIST of 4 verses
VERSE
PHRASE1
PHRASE2
PHRASE3

Nu28-19
They will be unblemished
for you

Nu28-31
They will be unblemished
for you
WITH THEIR LIBATIONS
Nu29-09
They will be unblemished

Nu29-13
They will be unblemished
for you

Differs
*1
*2
*3 *4

COMMENTS

*1 These phrases are identical in each sacrifice

*2 Neither Rashi(nor I) can account why the phrase "for you"
   is absent in Nu29-09

*3 The extra phrase WITH THEIR LIBATIONS clearly implies
   that both the sacrifices as well as the libations must
   be unblemished

*4 The sifsay Chachamim mentions various other differences
   in the above list such as the order of words and sentences.
   However the above analysis will suffice to understand Rashi
