    4. RASHI METHOD: ALIGNMENT
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Aligning two almost identically worded verselets can suggest
    • (4a) 2 cases of the same incident or law
    • (4b) emphasis on the nuances of a case
    • (4c) use of broad vs literal usage of words
     This examples applies to Rashis Dt18-12a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n9.htm
    Brief Summary: Whoever does FROM ANY of these things; whoever does ANY of these things. RASHI: Even one.

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Dt18-12, Lv18-29 Both verses/verselets discuss the loathesomeness of pagan practices. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that: Even one of the listed loathesome acts is fully loathesome. One need not do many of them before one is classified as loathesome.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Dt18-12a For all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord; and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. Even one of the listed loathesome acts is fully loathesome. One need not do many of them before one is classified as loathesome. It is loathesome whether you do (all) these things or (one) from these things.
Lv18-29 For whoever shall do from any of these abominations, the souls who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
