GOALS:
------
In this short module we compare verses on 5 capital crimes.
in each case we will see a pair of verses.

* One verse says there is a death penalty
* One verse says the person is cut off from his nation

The traditional approach says that a DEATH PENALTY happens
if there are witnesses while if there are no witnesses
then there is extinction.

This module will be a bit different in flavor than previous
modules. The punchy proof of Rashi will not occur till the
end of the unit. In other words the proof will come from
the entire list and not from any particular verse


TODAYS UNIT
-----------
We study the crime of MURDER. We will see only a hint
at the EXTINCTION-DEATH penalty mentioned above.



REFERENCE:
----------
This module comes from the following references in the
Rashi-is-Simple series.


http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h10n3.htm

The two verses discussed today were previously discussed
in http://www.RashiYomi.Com/xample-35.htm.



#*#*#*# (C) RashiYomi Inc., 2001, Dr. Hendel, President #*#*#*#*#

EXAMPLE 1: Gn09-05d
EXAMPLE 2: Gn09-06a

BACKGROUND
----------
The Bible is discussing the crime of murder. The Bible
mentions how serious this crime is and lists the
punishments.


VERSES
------
I will SEEK your blood from (killing) by sending animals
& I will SEEK your blood from brothers killing (by accident).
Thru human execution will be punished shedders of blood


RASHI
-----
The language THRU HUMAN EXECUTION denotes a CAPITAL OFFENSE
punished by court.

The language I GOD WILL SEEK YOUR BLOOD denotes the
punishment of extinction.

From the examples given
------------------------------------------------
killing by animals or brothers
killing each other (apparently accidentally)
------------------------------------------------
it is suggested that the first verses deals with
accidental murder or murder where there is no proof
(either because animals were used or there were no
witnesses)

Then the last set of verses would deal with premeditated
murder before witnesses.


COMMENT
-------
Notice at this point Rashi has only SAID his point. He
has not PROVEN his point.

The proof of Rashis point will not come from a collection
of hints seen in a variety of capital offenses which we
will examine over the next few days.

In other words the rule we cite will be an INFERENCE
OR GENERALIZATION FROM SEVERAL VERSES.
