      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 Dt19-03b
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/dt19-03b.htm
      Brief Summary: Destroy the idolatry so that God no longer Angry (RASHI: Hence before hand He is Angry).

Verse Dt19-03, discussing the importance of adequately maintaining refuge cities where negligent murderers could flee to avoid attacks by the relatives of the murdered, states Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide the borders of thy land, which the LORD thy God causeth thee to inherit, into three , that every manslayer may flee thither. 

Rashi explains that

    
Dividing  into 3 is interpreted to mean

    •  3 cuts

    •  4 parts

    
The following diagram clarifies.

        Cut #1     Cut #2     Cut #3
----------X----------X----------X----------
Quarter 1   Quarter 2  Quarter 3 Quarter 4

In this case Rashi clarifies through a geometric diagram.
