      10. RASHI METHOD: SYMBOLISM
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi provides symbolic interpretations of words, verses, and chapters. Rashi can symbolically interpret either
      • (10a) entire Biblical chapters such as the gifts of the princes, Nu-07
      • (10b) individual items, verses and words
      The rules governing symbolism and symbolic interpretation are presented in detail on my website.
      This examples applies to Rashis Nu28-19a

      Brief Summary: Jews on Passover, a) PLOUGHED Gods world to freedom like OXEN, b) LED each other; and c) FOLLOWED each other to freedom.

    In Rule #4 above we have aligned seven verses dealing with the holiday sacrifices. There we used the symbolism that
    • Ox are co-workers with God, ploughing God's field of the world for freedom;
    • Rams are leaders
    • Sheep are followers.
    We explored the alignment of 7 verses listing the
    • The 2 oxen,
    • The 1 Ram,
    • The 7 Sheep,
    that were brought on each holiday. However only on Passover are these sacrifices connected with the word And: 2 oxen and 1 Ram and 7 sheep. Rashi concludes All forces were united on Passover: The Jews became God's oxen, ploughing the world to freedom,
  • the Jews formed groups leading each to freedom
  • The Jews all followed one another like a flock of sheep to their freedom.
