4. RASHI METHOD: ALIGNMENT
BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi examines minor differences in almost identical verses.
This examples applies to Rashis Gn34-16b
URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gn34-16b.htm

Rashi, commenting on the underlined verbs, ironically observes Each side -- Jacob and Schem -- both used the word give with their own daughters but used the word take with the daughter's of the other side. In other words despite their ideological differences each side thought their daughters special.

Sermonic points: Rashi's point echoes the concerns of the modern concept of democracy: For negotiations between two sides to succeed the two sides must treat each other equally despite large ideological differences.
