P>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 indicated bullets
by using repeating keywords.
That is, if a modern
author wanted to get a point across using bullets -
a list of similar but contrastive items -
then the Biblical
Author would use repeating keywords.
Today's verse illustrates this principle.
Verse Lv25-06:07 discussing those who enjoy the land-rest years
states
And the sabbath produce of the land shall be food
for you;
- for you, and
- for your servant, and
- for your maid, and
- for your workers ([even non-jewish workers], and
- for the resident non-jews who sojourns with you, And
- for your cattle, and
- for the beast that are in your land, shall all its produce be food.
The repeated underlined word, for, creates a bulleted
list effect as shown. The bulleted list in turn justifies the
perception that each member of the bulleted list contains a distinct
item with a distinct message(this is in fact how all authors in all
languages use bullets.). Rashi's application of this principle
is embedded above in our translation: The inclusion of workers and resident non-Jews
clearly justifies the Rashi assertion that The sabbath-land law applies to all non-Jews
whether they are residents and accepted Noachidic law or whether they are just
ordinary non-Jews who are hired help.
