      9. RASHI METHOD: NonVerse
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the NonVerse method is that inferences are made from non textual material. The 3 submethods are as follows:
      • Spreadsheet: Rashi makes inferences of a numerical nature that can be summarized in a traditional spreadsheet
      • Geometric: Rashi clarifies a Biblical text using descriptions of geometric diagrams
      • Fill-ins: Rashi supplies either real-world background material or indicates real-world inferences from a verse. The emphasis here is on the real-world, non-textual nature of the material.
      This examples applies to Rashis Ex10-13a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1324.htm
      Brief Summary: (Ex10-13a) ...An EAST WIND carried the locust RASHI: The locust came FROM Israel to EGYPT which was in the SOUTHWEST of Israel (Nu34-03:05)

Todays Rashi presents a map, a geographical description, of Israeli geography and the surrounding (Biblical countries). The map is presented below and appropriate footnotes outline Rashi's comment. Because Rashi clarifies diagrammatic material we classify this Rashi as non-Verse. We have explained the Rashi Ex10-13a using two methods: The NonVerse method and the reference method. We have begun the explanation of this Rashi above in rule #1, reference.

===========================================================
MAP OF SOUTHERN BORDER OF ISRAEL (Nu34-03:05)
===========================================================
'  Great  |        ISRAEL        |
'  Sea    |                      |Salt
'         |                      |Sea
'         |                      |
'         |                      |
'         |Egypt River           |
' -------------------------------|
'                Kadesh Barnaya       EDOM
' EGYPT
'
'
'                 Sinai
'                 Peninsula
'                              Ezion Geber
'

    Verses Nu34-03:05 states the following
  • The Salt Sea and Edom define the South-East border of Israel Nu34-03
  • Kadesh Barnaya, the Egyptian River and the Great Sea define the South-West border of Israel Nu34-04:05.

The above picture shows that Egypt is on the South-West of Israel. Hence God transported locusts from Israel to Egypt via an Eastern wind (Ex10-13a) which brought the locusts to the South-West Egyptian-Israel border.
