    6. RASHI METHOD: STYLE
    Rashi examines how rules of style influences inferences between general and detail statements in paragraphs.
    • Example: Every solo example stated by the Bible must be broadly generalized;
    • Theme-Detail: A general principle followed by an example is interpreted restrictively---the general theme statement only applies in the case of the example;
    • Theme-Detail-Theme: A Theme-Detail-Theme unit is interpreted as a paragraph. Consequently the details of the paragraph are generalized so that they are seen as illustrative of the theme.
    This examples applies to Rashis Ex30-13d

    Tax half a Temple dollar; a dollar of 20 Temple nickels.

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. Today's example illustrates this as shown below.

    Vesre Ex30-13d is stated in a General-Theme form as indicated by formatted structure and interpolated word this: This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered,
    • General: half a shekel in Temple Shekels
    • Detail: [this] shekel is twenty gerahs...
