 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 3 verses on priestly gifts


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

Alignment of Verses on Priestly Gifts
 

EXAMPLE 58: Nu18-10a Sacrifices only eaten by MALES in TEMPLE
EXAMPLE 59: Lv10-14b Breast eaten by MALE/FEMALE in OUTErTmpl
EXAMPLE 60: Nu18-31a Big Terumah eaten by all even in CEMETERY

BACKGROUND
----------
Nu18 and Lv10 speak about the PRIESTLY GIFTS. There were in
fact 24 such priestly gifts. For example, Priests ate certain
sacrifices; similarly priests received certain tithes. There
were rules about eating these gifts. Some of them could only
be eaten in certain places, or by certain genders, or in
certain statuses of holiness.

THE VERSES
----------
The verses state the following laws
-- SACRIFICES  can only be EATEN IN THE TEMPLE, BY MALES
-- BREAStGIFTs can only be EATEN in the OUTERTEMPLE, by anyone
-- BIgTERUMAh  can even be EATEN IN THE CEMETERY

The SACRIFICES and BREAStGIFTs had to be eaten in ritual
purity while the BIG TERUMAH did not

THE RASHI
---------
On each verse Rashi states
-- WHERE it had to be eaten (Temple, OuterTemple,Cemetery)
-- WHO could eat it (Male, Female)
-- HOW it should be eaten (Pure or not)


The above laws are derived by aligning the following verses
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2 PHRASE3 PHRASE4

Nu18-09 Sacrifices are eaten in HOLY OF HOLIES by MALES*1
Lv10-14 Breast/Thigh are eaten in a PURE PLACE*2 by PURE People
Nu18-31 Big Terumah is  eaten in ANY PLACE 

COMMENTS


*1 We have combined Nu18-09 and Nu18-10 as follows
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   Nu18-09 This will be to the priests from the holy of holies:
           all sacrifices, all Minchas, ...
   Nu18-10 EAT IT IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES, ALL MALES MAY EAT IT
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   Thus the essential components of these 2 verses are
   -- it is talking about sacrifices
   -- it must be eaten in the holy of holies
   -- it must be eaten by all males

*2 We have combined Nu18-11 and Lv10-12:14 as follows
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   Lv10-12 And Moses spoke to Aaron and Elazar and Ithamar,
           his remaining children: Take the leftover Minchah
           and eat it as Matzoh near the altar because it is
           HOLY OF HOLY
   Lv10-13 And you will eat it in a HOLY Place...
   Lv10-14 But the WAIVED BREAST and the RAISED THIGH, should
           be eaten in a PURE place
   Nu18-11 & These will be the RAISED GIFTS from all (sacrifice)
           waivings; I have given it to you, your sons and your
           daughters with you an eternal statue; ALL PURE PEOPLE
           IN YOUR HOUSE MAY EAT IT
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   Lv10-14 clearly contrasts with Lv10-12: Lv10-12 is speaking
   about the holy sacrifices while Lv10-14 us speaking about the
   breast gifts (from the peace offerings).Thus both Lv10-14 and
   Nu18-11 are speaking about the breast gifts.
   - Lv10-14 says that the breast gifts are eaten in A PURE PLACE
   - Nu18-11 says that the breast gifts are eaten by PURE people
