    9. RASHI METHOD: SPREADSHEETS
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the Spreadsheet 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 example applies to Rashis Lv25-21a Lv25-22a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv25-21a.htm
    Brief Summary: Seed from 6th year is used at the a) end of 6th b) all of 7th c) beginning of 8th.

We have already, rule #5, contradiction presented the diagram approach to the Rashis on verses Lv25-20:23 which state And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our produce; Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat still of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in you shall eat of the old store.

    The diagram below shows us that: The produce of the 6th year is used
    • at the end of the 6th year
    • all during the 7th year
    • and at the beginning of the 8th year (until new produce is produced)
    Hence, although the land sabbatical is only one year, the produce of the 6th year is needed for three years.

    TIME DIAGRAM FOR AGRICULTURAL CYCLES:

    |
    Year 7
    |- Land Sabbatical - No sowing or harvest

    |- Continue eating produce from Year 6------ Year 6 Produce
    |
    | Sow for Years 8,9
    |
    | Begin Harvest of Year 8
    | Eat some produce of year 8
