    =============  HOT ITEMS ================================
   HI RashiYomi IS BACK TO NORMAL & I HAVE MANY GOOD STORIES
   AFTER MY TRIP TO ISRAEL.

   THE UPDATE OF THE RASHI CALENDAR WILL TAKE PLACE
   SUNDAY. WE MAY ALSO START HYPERLINKING TO ACTUAL
   BIBLICAL VERSES (THE MOST FREQUENT REQUEST I HAVE
   THESE DAYS) The update will contain the HTML version
   of the text files I sent out while in Israel

   ENGLISH RASHI:       http://www.mnemotrix.com/metsudah
   THE WHITE PAPERS:    http://www.RashiYomi.Com/white.htm
   =========================================================
 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 many commandments. Some groups of
commandments only apply to crimes against people who
are CONNECTED TO YOU (eg YOUR parents, servants etc) These
commandments contain the word HIS in the Biblical text

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

SOME COMMANDMENTS USE THE WORD HIS
 

EXAMPLE 130: Ex21-21b

BACKGROUND
----------
Some penalties (like a death penalty for murder) apply
independent of whom is killed. By contrast, some penalties (like
a death penalty for wounding parents) only applies if done to
THOSE CONNECTED WITH YOU (eg YOUR PARENTS). The Bible indicates
the requirement of connectedness by using the word HIS.


THE TEXT
--------
Ex21-21b When a person hits HIS male servant or his female
servant for disciplinary purposes ....but does not die within
24 hours then the person does not receive a death penalty because
he has a right to hit his property (ie his servants)


THE RASHI
---------
The exemption from a death penalty for killing a slave in the
process of disciplining him only applies to YOUR OWN slaves

THE LIST
--------
Rashis point may follow from the verse text. But Rashis point
is enriched by seeing similar verses in other laws: The word
HIS always limits cases to those connected with you whether
in this law or other laws.

In the list below we present
- The Verse
- the crime spoken about (e.g. wounding a parent)
- the text of the verse
- does the word HIS occur
- does the law apply  to EVERYBODY or just those connected
to you
VERSE CRIME TEXT HIS? stated APPLIES TO

Ex21-12 Murder When a person kill a *1  man Everybody
Ex21-16 Kidnap When a person steal *2  aPerson Everybody
Ex21-15 Hit Parent When a person hit*3 HIS parents HIS parent
Ex21-17 Curse Parent When a person curses HIS parents HIS Parent
Ex21-20 Hit Slave When a person hits*5 HIS slave HIS slave

COMMENTS

*1 That is the death penalty for murder applies whether you kill
   a friend, foe or relative (cf Dt19-06 for an alternative rule
   in negligent murder--there is no status of NEGLIGENCE on foes)

*2 That is the death penalty for kidnapping a Jew applies whether
   you kill a friend or foe. (However from  Dt24-07 we learn
   that there is no death penalty if you kidnap a person FROM
   HIS BROTHERS(that is close relavtives) (eg there is no death
   penalty for a father kidnapping a son etc)

*3 So a death penalty for wounding (vs killing) only
   applies to wounding ones own parents.

*4 So a death penalty for cursing parents only
   applies to cursing YOUR OWN parents (By contrast the
   prohibition of cursing (which carries only a punishment
   of lashes) applies to everybody (eg Lv19-14 or Ex22-27)

*5 The word HIS occurs three times in Ex21-20:21
   ------------------------------------------------------
   When a person hits                HIS MALE SERVANT
   or a person hits                  HIS FEMALE SERVANT
   no death penalty because they are HIS PROPERTY
   ------------------------------------------------------

   From this emphasis we learn that the exemption from a death
   penalty if you hit a servant (for disciplinary purposes),
   and he nevertheless dies,only applies if you hit your own
   servant.
