      9. RASHI METHOD: NonVerse
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the NonVerse method is that inferences are made from non textual material. The 3 submethods are as follows:
      • Spreadsheet: Rashi makes inferences of a numerical nature that can be summarized in a traditional spreadsheet
      • Geometric: Rashi clarifies a Biblical text using descriptions of geometric diagrams
      • Fill-ins: Rashi supplies either real-world background material or indicates real-world inferences from a verse. The emphasis here is on the real-world, non-textual nature of the material.
      This examples applies to Rashis Ex07-28a Ex08-14a

      Brief Summary: The frogs came UP, FROM the river TO land.

Verse Ex08-14a discussing the plague of frogs, states And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly; they shall go up and come into your house, and into your bed chamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs;

Rashi comments on the underlined phrase go up by explaining it geometrically or diagrammatically: The frogs came from the river to the land. Hence the Biblical text describes the frogs as going up.

Advanced Rashi: Since the driving force of the Rashi explanation is a diagramatic clarification we classify this Rashi as non-verse.
