VERSE: Dt24-08a
RASHIS COVERED: Dt24-08a Dt24-08b Dt24-13a Dt25-03b
======================== Dt24-08a ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from
- the ALIGNMENT,
- that is, the word by word comparison,
of almost identical verses.The minor variations
between these almost similar verses suggests nuances
and differences or even meaning. We
call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT
-When Rashi identifies two cases from the ALIGNMENT we call
this the Rashi subrule of TWO CASES
-When Rashi infers nuances from the variations between the
almost similar verses (or verse phrases) we call this the
Rashi subrule of NUANCES.
-When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost
identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING.
EXAMPLE 1: Dt24-08a Dt24-08b
---------------------------------------------
Verse Dt24-08 discussing the obligation to
observe the Leprosy laws
---------------------------------------------
WATCH the plague of leprosy, to
WATCH AND DO according to all that the priests
the Levites shall teach you;
as I commanded them, so you shall
WATCH AND DO
----------------------------------------------
The CAPPED words hi-light the subtle nuances in
the ALIGNED phrases. Rashi comments
------------------------------------------------
- WATCH & DO: Refers to the Laws in Lv13. Leprosy
plagues are either declared (a)ritually pure
(b) ritually impure or (c)impure requiring sacrificial
atonement.
- WATCH WITHOUT DO: Refers to a WATCHING of the PLAGUE
and ITS SIGNS--that is there is a Biblical prohibition
of tearing out SIGNS of ritual impurity or defacing
a LEPROSY PLAGUE
-------------------------------------------------
LIST309y summarizes this ALIGNMENT.
EXAMPLE Dt24-13a
----------------
Both Dt24-13a and Ex22-25 both speak about returning loan
pledges such as night garments
but use slightly different language
---------------------------------------------
Dt24-13a ....you shall return it to him AT sundown;
Ex22-25 ....you shall return it to him BY sundown;
----------------------------------------------
Rashi comments on the CAPPED ALIGNED phrases
----------------------------------------------
- You MAY return it ANY TIME during the DAY(BY SUNDOWN)
- You MUST return it to him AT SUNDOWN (If you havent already)
------------------------ ---------------------------------------
List309z summarizes this ALIGNMENT
EXAMPLE Dt25-03b
----------------
Note the CAPPED referrals in the Biblical paragraph Dt25-01:03
-----------------------------------------------------------
If there is a controversy between men
and they come to judgment, that the judges may judge them;
....
and condemn the WICKED.
And it shall be, if the WICKED man deserves to be beaten,
....according to his WICKEDNESS.
40 stripes he may give him,
if he should exceed... with many stripes,
then your BROTHER might be degraded
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rashi comments
-------------------------------------
The person throughtout the paragraph is
called WICKED. But after he receives the
stripes he is called BROTHER (Showing
that his sins have been forgiven).

*1 Rashi explains the NUANCES of the two phrases WATCH vs WATCH-DO
- WATCH DO refers to ACTION items such as
- - declaration of ritually pure state
- - declaration of ritually impurte states
- - declaration of state requiring sacrificial atonement
- WATCH without DO refers to
- - GUARDING the leprosy spot and its signs (That is,
it is Biblically prohibited to destroy them)

*2 Rashi points out that the Bible here is talking about the
loan of a NIGHT garment.
- You MAY return it to the owner ANY time during the
day (BY sundown)
- If you still haven't returned it then you MUST return
it at sundown.
In other words there is an obligation to return the
garment to him the following night and that obligation
can be made any time during the day but at least at night
