      3. RASHI METHOD: GRAMMAR
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi explains verses using grammar principles, that is, rules which relate reproducable word form to word meaning. Grammatical rules neatly fall into 3 categories
      • (a) the rules governing conjugation of individual words,Biblical roots,
      • (b) the rules governing collections of words,clauses, sentences
      • (c) miscellaneous grammatical, or form-meaning, rules.
      This examples applies to Rashis Lv02-01f

      Brief Summary: Change of subject with pronouns inbetween indicates a change of the main person acting.

    Observe the subtle changes of subject and pronouns in verses Lv02-01:03 discussing the REST offering:
  1. The soul:
    • And when a soul will offer a meal offering to the Lord,
    • his offering shall be of fine flour;
    • and he shall pour oil upon it, and
    • he shall put frankincense on it;
    • And he shall bring it to the ...
  2. The priest:
    • ..sons of Aaron the priests; and he shall take from it his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense;
    • and the priest shall burn the memorial part of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the Lord;
  3. Aaron and Sons:
    • And the remnant of the meal offering shall be to Aaron’s and his sons’;
  4. The meal offering:
    • it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

    As shown there are 4 subjects:
  • The soul offering the meal offering is responsible for bringing flour, oil and frankincense;
  • The priest is responsible for grabbing a handful and offering it;
  • The priests in general (Head priest and sons) have eating rights on the offering;
  • The meal offering itself has a status of holy of holies.
