Certain Biblical paragraphs are stated in a Theme-Development form.
In other words a broad general idea is stated first followed by the development
of this broad general theme in specific details.
The Theme-Detail form creates a unified paragraph.
Today's example illustrates
this as shown below.
Verse Lv07-26b discussing
the prohibition of eating blood
states
- General:
Moreover you shall eat no kind of blood,
- Detail:
of birds or of beasts, ...
This is a classic general-detail or theme-development form.
According to the Rabbi Ishmael style guidelines we interpret the verse as follows:
The applicability of the
general clause is restricted to the detail clause.
In other words the prohibition of eating blood mentioned in the general clause
only applies to the blood of birds and beasts. Consequently there is no Biblical
prohibition of consuming fish blood.
