      3. RASHI METHOD: GRAMMAR
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi explains verses using grammar principles, that is, rules which relate reproducable word form to word meaning. Grammatical rules neatly fall into 3 categories
      • (a) the rules governing conjugation of individual words,Biblical roots,
      • (b) the rules governing collections of words,clauses, sentences
      • (c) miscellaneous grammatical, or form-meaning, rules.
      This examples applies to Rashis Dt23-15b

      Brief Summary: God WALKS with you and SAVES you; He should not SEE bathroom items and WITHDRAW

    Verse Dt23-15b discussing the prohibition of having bathroom remains exposed in the army camp states For HaShem thy G-d
  • walketh in the midst of thy camp,
  • to deliver thee, and
  • to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that
  • He see no unseemly thing in thee, and
  • turn away from thee.

Rashi's comment is remarkably simple: The subject of each of the sentences in the verse is God (i.e. God walketh in thy midst; God delivereth thee; God should not see anything unseemly for then God would turn back from thee).
