Certain Biblical paragraphs are stated in a Theme-Development form.
In other words a broad general idea is stated first followed by the development
of this broad general theme in specific details.
The Theme-Detail form creates a unified paragraph and
consequently the law or narrative statement only applies to the enumerated details but
not to other cases.
Today's example illustrates
this as shown below.
Verses
Ex12-46c
discussing
the requirement of eating the Pascal lamb:
states
- General:
It shall be consumed in one house
- Detail:
- Don't take any meat outside
- Don't break any [meaty] bones
The general clause states
it will be consumed in one house
and could mean
that besides consuming the meat one must consume the marrow inside the bones.
The detail clause provides specificity to the general
clause and describes how it should be interpreted:
Although you must consume all meat you need not break bones to expose
the marrow and eat it.
Advanced Rashi:
This Rashi is based on the Mechiltah which forms the basis
for the Talmudic passages in Pesachim 85, 95. The Talmud adds complexity
to the exegesis by bringing in an identical verse repeated in Nu09. The Talmud
actually makes several inferences. My way of taking the Talmudic exegesis is as follows:
- Eat all meat of the Passover sacrifice (Ex12-08)
- But don't break bones to eat the marrow inside (Ex12-46c)
- Don't break bones with meat on the outside (since nothing should be leftover) (Nu09-12)
- It is permissable to break bones which neither have meat inside nor outside (General-Detail).
