    9. RASHI METHOD: SPREADSHEETS
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the Spreadsheet method is that inferences are made from non textual material. The 3 submethods are as follows:
    • Spreadsheet: Rashi makes inferences of a numerical nature that can be summarized in a traditional spreadsheet
    • Geometric: Rashi clarifies a Biblical text using descriptions of geometric diagrams
    • Fill-ins: Rashi supplies either real-world background material or indicates real-world inferences from a verse. The emphasis here is on the real-world, non-textual nature of the material.
    This example applies to Rashis Dt14-06a,b,c
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w34n8.htm
    Brief Summary: Kosher animals must have a) split hoofs and b) two toes

    Verse Dt14-06 discussing the requirements of Kosher animals states And every beast that
    • parts the hoof, and
    • has the hoof cloven into two,
    and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat     Rashi clarifies: There are two requirements:
    • The hoof must be split and
    • there must be two toes.
    The pictures below clarify. Since this Rashi is clarified by pictures we consider it the use of the diagram method.
