    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 Dt26-13a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n4.htm
    Brief Summary: FIRST FRUITS: Thank God for bounty; TITHES: Affirm compliance.

    The table below presents an aligned extract of verselets in Dt26-05:11,Dt26-13:16 . Both verselets discuss a statement made before God on the bringing of special plant offerings The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that For the first-fruit offering we praise and thank God for His bounty; For tithes we affirm compliance.

Dt26-05:11 And thou shalt speak and say before HaShem thy G-d: 'A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, ... And HaShem brought us forth out of Egypt ... And He hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. Praise God for the first fruit
Dt26-13:16 ...then thou shalt say before HaShem thy G-d: 'I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all Thy commandment ... Affirm compliance in tithe laws.
