VERSE: Dt16-21b

========================== Dt16-21b ===========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Some Rashi comments deal with FORMATTING.
Modern authors FORMAT using such techniques as
BULLETS, PARAGRAPHING, BOLD, ITALICS and UNDERLINE.
The Biblical Author achieved these effects but thru
different means.

For example a modern author might hilight distinct
items using BULLETS. The Biblical Author hilights
distinct items using REPEATING KEYWORDS.

We call this the Rashi rule of FORMATTING with the Rashi
subrule of KEYWORDS AS BULLETS

Rashi could also infer from the general PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE
(without any keywords). We call this the the Rashi rule of
FORMATTING with the Rashi subrule of PARAGRAPHS.

In todays example the BULLETING effect is indicated
- by a PARALLEL LISTING OF OBJECTS

EXAMPLE Dt16-21b
----------------
Dt16-21 states
--------------------------------------------
Do not make for yourselves
-- a tree-god
-- any wooden item
near the altar of God which you make for yourselves
-----------------------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the contrastive emphasis in the two bullets
----------------------------------------------------------
- idolatrous TREE-gods are prohibited near altar on temple mount
- personal WOODEN structures (eg houses) are prohibited
----------------------------------------------------------
