VERSE: Dt29-14a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt29-14a Dt31-28b

======================== Dt29-14a ==============================

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 Dt29-14a
------------------
Dt29-14 discussing the convenant God makes with Israel
states
--------------------------------------------------
This convenant is not just with you but
- WITH THOSE HERE with us today and
- WITH THOSE NOT HERE with us today
------------------------------------------------------

The above ALIGNMENT clearly specifies two cases
------------------------------------------------
- THOSE WITH US-----in other words, the CURRENT generation
- THOSE NOT WITH US-in other words, FUTURE generations
------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 2: Dt31-28b Dt32-01
------------------------
The following two verses speak about HEAVEN and EARTH
testifying against the Jews
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dt30-19 I witness against you,JEWS, HEAVEN & EARTH---CHOSE LIFE
Dt31-28 I witness against you,JEWS, HEAVEN & EARTH---Listen Heaven
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the obvious Rashi
--------------------------------------------------
-Dt30-19         addresses the JEWS & asks them to chose life
-Dt31-28/Dt32-01 addresses the HEAVEN & EARTH;asks them to witness
--------------------------------------------------
