    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 Ex40-03a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex40-03a.htm

    The following two verses discussing the Veil's, or Ark Cover's function to cover and border the Ark differ in one pair of words.
  • Verse Ex40-03 states And you shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and protect the ark with the veil
  • Verse Ex26-33 states And you shall hang up the veil from the clasps, that you may bring in there inside the veil the ark of the Testimony; and the veil shall separate for you between the holy place and the most holy. Rashi's comment attempts to show a unifying meaning to the two contrastive underlined words: The word protects here means functioning as a border (Since the border separates the Ark from the rest of the temple).
