    7. RASHI METHOD: FORMATTING
    BRIEF EXPLANATION:Inferences from Biblical formatting: --bold,italics, and paragraph structure.
    • Use of repetition to indicate formatting effects: bold,italics,...;
    • use of repeated keywords to indicate a bullet effect;
    • rules governing use and interpretation of climactic sequence;
    • rules governing paragraph development and discourse
    This examples applies to Rashis Nu22-07c

    Brief Summary: GIVE them ALL things related to inheritance (a) GIVE them their father's estate (as they requested) (b) GIVE them their portion due in Israel (All survivors of Egypt received a portion in Isreal)

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 a bulleted or table structure by skillful use of repated keywords.

That is, if a modern author wanted to get a point across using a underline then the Biblical Author would use repetition.

We illustrate this using verse Nu22-07c which we present in modern notation with the repeating words indicating underline.

Verse Nu27-07c describing God's response to the daughter's of Zelophehad who wanted to inherit their father's property, the issue being that their father had no sons, states The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt give give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. The underlined repeated words from the verse, give give are the Biblical way of indicating emphasis. In modern notation the word give would be written once with an underline. Rashi clarifies the purpose of the emphasis: They are right generally. Give them all things related to inheritance: (a) give them their father's estate (as they requested); (b) Also give them their portion due in Israel (All survivors of Egypt received a portion in Isreal).
