VERSE: Dt21-10b

========= REPETITION JUSTIFIES 4 TYPES OF INFERENCES ===========

BACKGROUND
----------
Dt20 and Dt21 speak about wars
- Dt20 speaks about OBLIGATORY religious wars
- Dt21 speaks about PERMISSIVE religious wars

REFERENCE
---------
* See http://www.RashiYomi.Com/doubl-14.htm which presents 4
  types of inference that can be obtained from REPEATED WORDS.
* (See http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h2n20.htm which also brings
  numerous non-Rashi references from Baba Metzia 31)

THE TEXT
--------
Dt21-10b When you go to war ... And BOOT A BOOTY

THE RASHI
---------
REPETITION can indicate EVEN IN NON STANDARD CIRCUMSTANCES
Equivalantly it can indicate NON STANDARD MEANINGS of an object
This is METHOD 4 of dealing with REPEATED words

Here is the LIST for METHOD 4 from the URL .../doubl-14.htm
The complete set of examples and footnotes may be found there
The bottom entry on the list Dt21-10b is new
=================================================================
VERSE    TEXT OF VERSE                    MEANING OF REPETITION
======== ================================ =======================
Nu17-28a All who come NEAR NEAR ...       Even if it was crowded
Nu05-12a A MAN MAN who suspects his wife  Even a paranoic man*6
Ex15-01b God is GREAT GREAT in war*7      Overthrows HORSE& RIDER
Gn08-21b God will not destroy not destroy No matter how evil*8
Gn26-13a & Isaac GREW GREW                Even his manure*9
Dt21-10b & BOOT a BOOTY*10                Even a CANAANITE booty

NOTES
=====
*6 In other words MAN MAN denotes ANY MAN even someone
   very paranoic (The chapter deals with the suspected
   wife ceremony. The verse informs us that God allows
   us to Erase His Name even for a paranoic person)

*7 Ordinary military greatness consists
   of overpowering the RIDER not the HORSE. But God throws
   BOTH HORSE and RIDER in the sea. Thus the greatness
   is non-standard

*8 The implication is that God will never destroy the
   world no matter how evil man becomes.

*9 GROWTH is usually associated with assets and workers
   Rashi points out here that Isaac GREW IN ALL RESPECTS
   EVEN his manure was coveted.

*10 - Dt20 lays down the rules for OBLIGATORY wars(eg Canaanites)
    - Dt21 lays down the rules for PERMISSIVE wars
    OBLIGATORY wars require killing everybody while PERMISSIVE
    wars allow capture of captives. When these two rules
    conflict, eg when a CANAANITE is CAPTURED while residing
    in ANOTHER (non Canaan) country then we dont have to kill
    him/her (We can BOOT (ANY) BOOTY).
