      7. RASHI METHOD: FORMATTING
      BRIEF EXPLANATION:Inferences from Biblical formatting: --bold,italics, and paragraph structure.
      • Use of repetition to indicate formatting effects: bold,italics,...;
      • use of repeated keywords to indicate a bullet effect;
      • rules governing use and interpretation of climactic sequence;
      • rules governing paragraph development and discourse
      This example applies to Rashis Lv10-18b

      Brief Summary: You should have EATEN EATEN it [Rashi: Eaten it in ANY circumstance even between death and burial.]

We have explained in our article Biblical Formatting located on the world wide web at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/biblicalformatting.pdf, that the Biblical Author indicates bold, italics, underline by using repetition. In other words if a modern author wanted to emphasize a word they would either underline, bold or italicize it. However when the Biblical author wishes to emphasize a word He repeats it. The effect - whether thru repetition or using underline - is the same. It is only the means of conveying this emphasis that is different.

With this principle in mind let us review verse Lv10-18b which states Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within; ye should certainly have eaten eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded. Rashi comments on the repeated underlined words: The repeated underlined words create emphasis: It should always be eaten in all circumstances, for example, even between death and burial (a time when many positive commandments are suspended).
