VERSE: Dt18-04b
RASHIS COVERED: Dt17-19a Dt18-04a Dt18-04b
========================== Dt18-04b ===========================
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.)
EXAMPLE Dt23-05b
----------------
Dt23-04:05 states
--------------------------------------------
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into
the congregation of the Lord; to their tenth generation
shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord forever;
Because they met you not with bread and with water
- AT the roads,
- AT the Exodus
and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
-----------------------------------------------------
The repeated word AT creates a BULLET atmosphere.
Rashi therefore indicates the EMPHASIS in each bullet
----------------------------------------------------------
- AT the ROADS---(RASHI: When you were road weary)
- AT the Exodus--(-----: When you still felt like slaves)
----------------------------------------------------------
LIST120s below summarizes this argument
EXAMPLE Dt18-04a Dt18-04b
-------------------------
Verse Dt18-04, discussing the PRIESTLY GIFTS, states
-------------------------------------
- The FIRST fruit also of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and
- The FIRST of the fleece of your sheep,
shall you give the PRIEST
-------------------------------------
The repeating keyword phrase THE FIRST creates a BULLET atmosphere.
Rashi therefore indicates the EMPHASIS in each bullet
-----------------------------------------
-- FIRST of grain,wine,oil (RASHI: This is the TERUMAH gift
cross referenced in Nu18-25:32 which is obligatory on
both Jews and Levites---when you harvest grain, oil or
wine you must give the beginning harvest to the priest as
a gift)
-- FIRST of the flecce of your sheep (RASHI: When you fleece
your sheep then the first shearings must be made a gift
to the priest)
-----------------------------------------
Here Rashi interprets the repeating keywords as indicating
TWO SEPARATE GIFTS
- FIRST of harvest
- FIRST of fleecing
Rashi makes further comments about the
percentage required for the gift (2% for grains
and 1.5% for fleece). Although there
are attempts to make these quantities Biblical Rashi points
out that Biblically there are no quantities (The quantities
are Rabbinic).

Rashi points out that these quantities are not Biblical
but rather Rabbinic.
