REPEATED NOUNS

The following table contains verses with repeated nouns or verbs
Rashi interprets this repeated noun as referring to other cases

For example HIT HIT BY SWORD means you should hit the city
even if you don't have a sword (That is why hit is repeated)

Since this idea is not so intuitive, I simply gathered all the
cases without trying to defend them further. (Perhaps at
the end a better explanation will emerge).

The interested reader can find below the Rashis, the verses involved,
which noun is repeated and how it is interpreted
