    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 Dt29-16c.

    Brief Summary: a) Stone / Wood gods AND b) Gold / Silver (gods) [kept] with them [in their house].

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Dt29-16. Both verses/verselets discuss the detestable idols seen by the Jews. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that: There are many types of idols Stone and wood gods lie around houses and gardens. But gold and silver gods are kept inside the house, with the people. Although they are gods, people steal them for their monetary value.
