VERSE: Ex01-20b

========================== Ex01-20b ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is to describe STYLE. We have
introduced the idea that The GENERAL-DETAIL style is a
PARAGRAPH style; the GENERAL THEME is stated at the
beginning and then it is DEVELOPED with DETAILS. According
to the Rabbi Ishmael STYLE rules, the GENERAL THEME
meaning is EXHAUSTED and COMPLETELY EXPLAINED by the
DETAILS presented.

EXAMPLE 1: Ex01-20b
-------------------
The biblical text at Ex01-20:21 states
------------------------------------
[GENERAL]God did GOOD THINGS for the midwives
[because they allowed the Jewish people to]
multiply strongly and mightily

[DETAIL] Because the midwives feared God
therefore he made them respectable
in Israel[literally he made them houses]
------------------------------------

Note the THEME-DETAIL structure. Hence the Rashi
------------------------------------------------
What was the GOOD THING that God did for the midwives?
ANSWER: He made them houses of distinction
------------------------------------------------
