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 and
consequently the law or narrative statement only applies to the enumerated details but
not to other cases.
Today's example illustrates
this as shown below.
Verses
Ex25-18:19
discussing
the requirement to create Kerubim
states
- General:
And you shall make 2 golden Kerubim.....
- Detail:
One Kerub on one side and one Kerub on the other side...
The general clause states
the requirement to make a pair of Kerubim on 2 sides of the cover
and could mean
one should make, on each side of the ark-cover one
pair of Kerubim (so there would be a total of 4 Kerubim).
The detail clause provides specificity to the general
clause and describes how it should be interpreted:
There should be one Kerub per side with a total of
2 Kerubim (one pair) on both sides.
