    7. RASHI METHOD: FORMATTING
    BRIEF EXPLANATION:Inferences from Biblical formatting: --bold,italics, and paragraph structure.
    • Use of repetition to indicate formatting effects: bold,italics,...;
    • use of repeated keywords to indicate a bullet effect;
    • rules governing use and interpretation of climactic sequence;
    • rules governing paragraph development and discourse
    This example applies to Rashis Ex38-21b
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex38-21b.htm

    Brief Summary: There are 4 bulleted items in Lv05-01:05.All involve HIDING and all bring the same offering.

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 indicates bulletss by using repeting keywords.

    Hence we would translate Lv05-01:05 using bullets as follows: And if any one sin,
    • in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity;
    • or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean swarming things, and be guilty, it being hi19en from him that he is unclean;
    • or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; and, when he knoweth of it, be guilty;
    • or if any one swear clearly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter clearly with an oath, and it be hid from him; and, when he knoweth of it, be guilty in one of these things;
    and it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned;

Rashi simply states: In all the above bulleted situations a person committed a sin which was hi19en from him (or he hid testimony in the first bullet). In all these cases a person must bring an economic level offering. There are other premeditated-action-sins below (Such as denying under oath) for which other offerings must be brought.

Here we see that the focus of the Rashi comment is on the paragraph structure: All these offerings share a commonality (hi19en) and bring the same offering. Rashi further contrasts this paragraph with other Biblical paragraphs which have other themes, such as denial under oath, and which require other types of offerings.
