Note the contradiction in the following verses.
- Verse
Ex28-37
discussing the Priestly mask, where it was worn, and its relationship
to the Priestly mitre / turban
states
And thou shalt put it [the mask] on a thread of blue,
- and it shall be upon the mitre;
- opposite the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
We see the contradiction: Which is it:
Was the mask on the turban or opposite the turban?
Rashi resolves this contradiction using the
2 aspects
method of contradiction resolution. The Priestlyl mask
was secured with two/three threads
- One set of threads went around the head just as masks today are worn.
The mask itself was on the forehead opposite the turban and the threads went
around the head to secure it
- But there was another thread that went over the head and turban
The following diagram clarifies
(A)
(A)/----------------|
/ | (B) |(A)
mask/ Priest Head |
\ | |
eyes \ |
(A)\ | (B) |(A)
\---------------|
(A)
- The Priest Mask was above the eyes
- Thread A went around the Priest Head and tied in back
- Thread B went over the Priest's Head and tied to thread A
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Consequently, the Mask was secured with two threads A & B
- Thread A was opposite and beneath the turban around the head temples.
- Thread B went over the head; it was above and on the turban
Hence we see that there are two aspects to the Priestly
Mask/Turban relationship. There is a mask on the Turban and
there is a mask around the Turban.
Advanced Rashi: The above Rashi requires two techniques:
The Contradiction technique and the spreadsheet technique.
We will therefore repeat this example below in rule #9.
