    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 Nu05-13c
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1219.htm
    Brief Summary: cf. HE DIDN'T NOTICE IT vs HIS _eyes_ DIDN'T NOTICE IT. HIS EYES excludes applicability to a blind person.

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Nu05-13c, Lv05-02:04. Both verses/verselets discuss sins with lack of awareness. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that: The ordinary Biblical idiom for lack of awareness or lack of knowledge is it was concealed from him. By contrast the phrase it was concealed from his eyes indicates a requirement that the person (who was unaware) is not blind.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Nu05-13c And a man lies with her carnally, and it is concealed from the eyes of her husband, and this is kept undetected, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, since she was not caught in the act; The ordinary Biblical idiom for lack of awareness or lack of knowledge is it was concealed from him. By contrast the phrase it was concealed from his eyes indicates a requirement that the person (who was unaware) is not blind.
