Certain Biblical paragraphs are stated in a Theme-Development form.
In other words a broad general idea is stated first followed by the development
of this broad general theme in specific details.
The Theme-Detail form creates a unified paragraph and
consequently the law or narrative statement only applies to the enumerated details but
not to other cases.
Today's example illustrates
this as shown below.
Verses
Nu09-02a
discussing
the requirement to observe the Passover
states
- General:
Let the Jews observe the Passover
- Detail:
at its appointed time.
The general clause states
Let the Jews observe the Passover
and could mean
that similar to allowing courts to change
the exact date of the new month,
the Jews can approximately observe Passover on the 14th,
moving it a day or two forward or backward if it is necessary
to avoid a great inconvenience (like Passover falling on
Saturday).
The detail clause provides specificity to the general
clause and describes how Passover should be interpreted:
It must be observed in its appointed time, the 14th
of the month, even if it falls out on the Sabbath or
while Jews are in ritual impurity which is very inconveniencing.
