      3. RASHI METHOD: GRAMMAR
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi explains verses using grammar principles, that is, rules which relate reproducable word form to word meaning. Grammatical rules neatly fall into 3 categories
      • (a) the rules governing conjugation of individual words,Biblical roots,
      • (b) the rules governing collections of words,clauses, sentences
      • (c) miscellaneous grammatical, or form-meaning, rules.
      This examples applies to Rashis Nu28-15c

      Brief Summary: Brief Summary: And one he-goat for a SIN-OFFERING unto HaShem; it shall be offered beside the continual BURNT-OFFERING, and its [the sin offering] libations.

Two familiar functions of grammar in all languages are pronoun reference and plurality.

Hebrew is more flexible than English in pronoun reference. In other languages a pronoun refers to the last mentioned person. However in Hebrew pronoun reference can be determined by the most logical connection even if it is not the last mentioned noun.

We illustrate this Rashi principle with the translation of the following verse. To facilitate understanding the Rashi we underlined the two nouns and interpolated the Rashi comment in the translation showing that the pronoun reference refers to the more distant noun. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering to the Lord shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and its [the sin-offering] drink offering.
