Bulleting in the Bible
EXAMPLE 6: Ex18-01a BULLET: God did miracles to MOSES 2 EXAMPLE 7: Ex18-01e BULLET: God did miracles to ISRAEL BACKGROUND ---------- When you type in English you can use a variety of TYPING EFFECTS such as - indentation - paragraphing - bold, italics, underline - bullets - tables These techniques were not DIRECTLY available to the Biblical Author. However they were used in the Bible.One of Rashis 6 main tasks was to indicate how the Bible implemented TYPING EFFECTS. We show one example in this background section and then present different examples every day. THE TEXT-Gn26-12 ---------------- And Isaac sowed and produced in - THAT land - THAT year 100 fold. THE RULE --------- The Bible indicates BULLETS by using REPEATING KEYWORDS. The effect of these BULLETS is to place emphasis on EACH item. The examples will clarify THE RASHI --------- The verse places an emphasis on BOTH the LAND and the YEAR. This indicates that there were 2 aspects to the miracle -- it was a bad year for growth(eg a famine year) but Isaac sowed 100 fold -- it was a bad land for growth(eg other lands like Israel had more fertile land), but nevertheless Isaac sowed 100 fold THE LIST:TODAYS EXAMPLE Ex18-01 -------------------------------- The verse, Ex18-01 with its bulleted structure is depicted below For clarity the verse is repeated a second time with an asterisk to show how it would look in modern notation

COMMENTS
1 e.g Ex16-02 shows that when the Jews complained about lack of food they specifically complained ON MOSES(not on God). This aspect of a complaint on MOSES is eg absent when AMALEK declared war on the Jews. Hence when God gave the Jews manna He was not only doing a miracle for the JEWS--He was also doing a miracle for MOSES. By contrast the defeat of AMALEK was ONLY a miracle for the Jews. Here is a list of miracles & whom they were for. The SUPPORTING VERSE column proves that certain miracles were complaints against Moses. ------------------------------------------------------ MIRACLE FOR MOSES or ISRAEL SUPPORTING VERSE ------------- ----------------------- ---------------- Split of sea Israel Amalek war Israel ------------ ----------------------- ---------------- Manna Moses Ex16-02 Well Moses Ex17-02 ------------------------------------------------------ 2 In the database the verses are incorrectly listed as Ex18-01d and Ex18-01e (It should be Ex18-01a Ex18-01e)
