We have explained in our article
Biblical Formatting located on the world wide web at
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/biblicalformatting.pdf,
that the Biblical Author indicated bullets
by using repeating keywords.
That is, if a modern
author wanted to get a point across using bullets -
a list of similar but contrastive items -
then the Biblical
Author would use repeating keywords.
Today's verse illustrates this principle.
Verse(s)
Ex05-22a
discussing
Moses to complaint to God who sent him to redeem
the Jewish people but instead the Jews received more
work
states
And the Lord said to Moses,
Now shall you see what I will do to Pharaoh;
- for with a strong hand shall he let them go,
- for with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
The repeated underlined phrase
for with
creates a bullet effect. The bullet effect in turn
creates an emphasis on the distinctness of all enumerated items.
Rashi interprets the distinctness as follows
- Complaint on behalf of Jewish people: God sent Moses to
redeem the Jewish people and now they end up with more work
- Complaint on behfl of Moses himself: Why did God send
Moses if the result was more work?
