    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 Dt24-08a, Dt24-08b
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/dt24-08a.htm
    Brief Summary: WATCH the CONSEQUENCES of Leprosy (Sacrifice, shutin..); WATCH the LEPROSY itself (don't cut it out)

    The table below presents an aligned extract of verselets in Dt24-08. Both verselets discuss the obligation to watch leprosy when it breaks out The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that There are two separate requirements of watching.
  • One must watch the consequences of the Leprosy laws - such as, being shut-in, sacrifices, etc.
  • One must watch the leprosy itself: that is, one is prohibited from surgically removing it.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Dt24-08 Watch the plague of leprosy, Watch the leprosy plague itself - it is prohibited to surgically remove it
Dt24-08 In order that you should watch and do Watch/do the consequences of Leprosy: a) stay shut-in when you should be shut-in; b) bring sacrifices when you must be purified.
