exaggeration

Verse Ex21-03a states If he came in with his body, he shall go out by himself; if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him. Rashi explains the underlined phrase using the technique of exaggeration: come with his body means single-- that is, one body not two.
Verse Lv19-20a states And whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a slave wintered to a man, and not wholly redeemed, nor freedom given her; inquiry shall be made; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. Rashi explains the underlined phrase using the technique of exaggeration: she is wintered to a man means she is engaged. That is their relationship is cold vs hot.
Verse Gn33-13a states And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender and the flocks and herds are young on me and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. Rashi explains the underlined phrase using the technique of exaggeration: young on me means too young to care for themselves but rather have to be looked over that is, they are like human infants who have to be held and carried on ones shoulder, vs. being able to bear themselves.
