      7. RASHI METHOD: FORMATTING
      BRIEF EXPLANATION:Inferences from Biblical formatting: --bold,italics, and paragraph structure.
      • Use of repetition to indicate formatting effects: bold,italics,...;
      • use of repeated keywords to indicate a bullet effect;
      • rules governing use and interpretation of climactic sequence;
      • rules governing paragraph development and discourse
      This examples applies to Rashis Ex29-35a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n9.htm
      Brief Summary: Do this consecration procedure 7 days; do this consecration procedure 7 days. EMPHASIS: All subprocedures required.

We have explained in our article Biblical Formatting located on the world wide web at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/biblicalformatting.pdf, that the Biblical Author indicates bold, italics, underline by using repetition. In other words if a modern author wanted to emphasize a word they would either underline, bold or italicize it. However when the Biblical author wishes to emphasize a word He repeats it. The effect - whether thru repetition or using underline - is the same. It is only the means of conveying this emphasis that is different.

Ex29 describes the consecration/induction ceremony of the priests. Verses Ex29-30, Ex29-35 create an unspecified emphasis by repeating: And that son who is priest in his place shall put them on seven days, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place. ... And thus shall you do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded you; seven days shall you consecrate them. Rashi simply comments: The repetition (equivalent to a modern underline or bold) indicates unspecified emphasis: You must do all of these things 7 days. Hence if even some small subprocedure was omitted the consecration / induction is invalid and must be done again.
