    4. RASHI METHOD: ALIGNMENT
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Aligning two almost identically worded verselets can suggest
    • (4a) 2 cases of the same incident or law
    • (4b) emphasis on the nuances of a case
    • (4c) use of broad vs literal usage of words
     This examples applies to Rashis Gn37-10a

    Brief Summary: Joseph (1st) told the dream to his BROTHERS THEN he re-told it to his FATHER AND BROTHERS

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Gn37-10a, Gn37-09. Both verses/verselets discuss Joseph's telling his dreams to his family. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that: (1st) Joseph told the dream, but only to his brothers. Joseph thought the dream was good, that he could help people. But his brothers hated him. Joseph sensed something wrong. So (2nd) Joseph then told the dream to both his father and brothers. Joseph hoped his father would intervene and defend him.But his father also criticized him. We see here the beginning of the 22 year riff between Joseph and his family.

Gn37-10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the e
