7. RASHI METHOD: FORMATTING
BRIEF EXPLANATION:Inferences from Biblical formatting: --bold,italics--and paragraph structure.
This examples applies to Rashis Gn32-24a Gn32-25a

A modern author who wishes to indicate special emphasis to each item in a list uses bullets to indicate this emphasis. By bulleting the reader is asked to dwell for a moment on each list item and listen to its nuances. In my article Biblical Formatting to appear in the Jewish Bible Quarterly I have explained that when the Biblical Author wishes to indicate special emphasis on each member of a list, repeated keywords are used. The repeated keywords should be interpreted as the equivalent of a bulleted format. The following example illustrates this. The Rashi comments illustrating each bulleted point are combined with the text.

Advanced Rashi: We think the above example an excellent illustration of the format method. The illustration shows the delicate blend between explicitly stated and inferred items. It also shows the non-deterministic nature of the exegesis.

Sermonic Points: Notice that Rashi interprets Jacob stayed behind alone as referring to Jacob checking on leftovers. Rashi points out: Monetary exactness and honesty is very important to righteous people.
