VERSE: Dt18-13a

======================== Dt18-13a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The FORMATTING rule seeks to explain Rashis based on
the FORMATTING of the Biblical text. FORMATTING techniques
in modern writing include use of bold, italics,underline,
bullets, paragraph indentation and similar items. The Bible
indicated FORMATTING using its own techniques: For example
- the Bible indicates bold,italics, underline thru REPETITION
- the Bible indicates bulleting, thru REPEATING keywords
The Bible can also indicate formatting thru meaning without
any formal structure.

Today we examine the FORMAT of a Biblical paragraph. This
FORMAT is indicated by meaning and not by any special
words. The FORMAT implies certain inferences.

The Biblical paragraph, Dt18-09:13,
 has the following structure:
-----------------------------------------------------------
VERSE    THEME                    DETAILS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dt18-09  Don't imitate heathens
Dt18-10  '                        No Molech Idols
Dt18-10  '                        No trances
Dt18-10  '                        No Astrology
Dt18-10  '                        No superstition
Dt18-10  '                        No witchcraft
Dt18-11  '                        No spells
Dt18-11  '                        No ventriloquist seances
Dt18-11  '                        No seeking dead
Dt18-12  God abhors these
Dt18-13a Be Simple with God
----------------------------------------------------------

(Rashi)The contrast of the theme sentences suggests that we
   become SIMPLE by accepting the future and not trying
   to predict it using superstitious methods. That is,
   the paragraph structure explains the meaning of
   SIMPLE.
