VERSE: Dt17-19a

========================== Dt17-19a ===========================

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 REPEATING KEYWORDS (ETH) in two of the items
- by a PARALLEL LISTING OF OBJECTS

EXAMPLE Dt17-19a
----------------
Dt17-19 states
--------------------------------------------
And it[The Torah] shall be with him,
and he shall read in it all the days of his life;
that he may learn to fear the Lord his God,
--- to keep all the WORDS of this Torah and
---  these STATUTES, to do them;
-----------------------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the contrastive emphasis in the two bullets
----------------------------------------------------------
- the King must observe RELIGIOUS LAW (Statutes)
- The King must observe the SPIRTIT, WORDS, and EXHORTATIVE
  Stories in the law
----------------------------------------------------------

So there is an emphasis on BOTH LAW and SPIRIT.
