    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 Ex04-07a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1322.htm
    Brief Summary: a)CURE: When he took it out (Immediately) b)PUNISHMENT: When he took it out COMPLETELY (delayed)

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Ex04-06, Ex04-07. Both verses/verselets discuss punishment/cure of leprosy on Moses hand. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that: Taking his hand out of his bossom resulted in both punishment and cure of leprosy. But by the difference in phraseology we see that a) the cure was immediate (as soon as he started to take his hand out of his bossom) while b) the punishment was delayed (his hand didn't turn leprous until it was completely taken out of his bossom.)

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Ex04-06 And the Lord said furthermore to him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, white as snow Taking his hand out of his bossom resulted in both punishment and cure of leprosy. But by the difference in phraseology we see that a) the cure was immediate (as soon as he started to take his hand out of his bossom) while b) the punishment was delayed (his hand didn't turn leprous until it was completely taken out of his bossom.)
Ex04-07 And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out from his bosom, behold, it was returned to healthy flesh.
