      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 Ex26-24a

      Brief Summary: The boards were shaved around the bottom to make two males which were inserted in silver female supports.

Verse Ex26-24a discussing the construction of the Temple states And they [the boards] shall be evenly coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above its head to one ring; thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners

Rashi draws a picture showing how the boards were evenly coupled together and still could be inserted in supporting pillars. The diagram below is a side snapshot of a board and the pillar it fits into.

'   TOP                        BOTTOM            SUPPORT PILLARS

    As can be seen from the above picture
  • The boards were shaven on bottom so that
  • they could snugly fit into the support pillars.
  • However the visible parts of the pillars (top to bottom) were evenly coupled together without spaces.
