VERSE: Dt12-30c

========================== Dt12-30c ===========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment
of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these
almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences or
even meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT
When Rashi identifies two cases from the ALIGNMENT we call
this the Rashi sub-method of TWO CASES

Note the two cases listed in the two verses below

EXAMPLE Dt12-30 vs Ex22-19
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ex22-19 He who sacrifices to a non-God, god, will be condemned
Dt12-30 Lest you ask: How do they worship idols-I will do same
--------------------------------------------------------------

Rashi states
-------------------------------------------------------
- SACRIFICE to any idol leads to a death penalty
- non SACRIFICE idol-specific services only lead to
  a death penalty if done to that idol
-------------------------------------------------------

For example: The UNCOVER idol was worshiped by getting
undressed and defecating to it (Symbolically affirming
being one with nature). So
- if you uncover/defecate to that idol you receive a death
  penalty
- if you uncover/defecate to any other idol you do not
  receive a death penalty.
- if you sacrifice to any idol you receive a death penalty

======== ======================================== ==============
Dt12-30c How do they worship--I will do same*1    idol-specific
Ex22-19  death for SACRIFICING to any non-God,god sacrifice*1

NOTES
-----
*1 Let us give an example: You worship the UNCOVER god
   by UNCOVERING/DEFECATING to it. We now consider the acts
   -of DEFECATING
   -SACRIFICING
   to idols
   We have the following laws:
-----------------------------------------------------------
- if you uncover/defecate to the UNCOVER IDOL you receive
  a death penalty
- if you uncover/defecate to any other idol you do not
  receive a death penalty.
- if you sacrifice to any idol you receive a death penalty
