    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 Ex06-01c
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n6.htm Brief Summary: Pharoh will a)Let the Jews go; and b) Drive them out quickly (Because of fear of Gods punishment)

The table below presents an aligned extract of verselets in Ex06-01c Both verselets discuss God forcing the Egyptians to let the Jews go. The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that Pharoh will be forced to a)Let the Jews go; and also forced to b) Drive them out quickly (Because of fear of Gods punishment). Here the driving out refers to the Jewish expulsion in such a haste that they didn't even have time to bake bread and instead ate Matzohs.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Ex06-01 And HaShem said unto Moses: 'Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, The emphasis here is on future events
Ex06-01 and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.' Pharoh will be forced to a)Let the Jews go; and also forced to b) Drive them out quickly (Because of fear of Gods punishment). Here the driving out refers to the Jewish expulsion in such a haste that they didn't even have time to bake bread and instead ate Matzohs.
