The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Gn31-38 Gn31-39.
Both verses/verselets
discuss
the protection Jacob gave Laban while sheparding his flocks.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
Jacob protected Labans flocks by preventing disasters in four areas:
- Natural: e.g. Miscarriage of animals
- Personal: e.g. Personal consumption of animals
- Animal: e.g. wolf/lion attacks
- People: e.g. Thefts.

Rashi comment

Gn31-38:39
|
These twenty years have I been with thee;
- Natural: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young,
- Personal: and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.
- Animal: That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it,
- People: whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

Advanced Rashi:
This Rashi could have also been classified under the Format-Bullet/Paragraph
method. The analysis would have been the same. The Rashi text emphasizes that
the verse I have not brought torn animals to you refers to wolf/lion attacks.
Rashi infers this either from the alignment or from
paragraph structures which suggests a distinctness to each paragraph phrase. Hence
Rashi does not see torn as miscarriage or personal consumption but sees
it as something new, animal damage. We have assisted in understanding the Rashi by
formatting the two verses has having 4 stanzas.
