VERSE: Ex07-28b

RASHIS COVERED: Ex07-28b Ex07-29a

======================== Ex07-28b ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently made inferences based on the Biblical STYLE. We
call this Rashi Rule the RABBI ISHMAEL STYLE rule.

A powerful style rule was the painting of a verse in a
CLIMACTIC DEVELOPMENT manner. We call this the RASHI SUBRULE of
CLIMAX

EXAMPLE Ex07-28b
----------------
Ex07-26:29 describes the plague of Frogs.
Moses states
-----------------------------------
The Frogs will come up
- to your (PHAROH's) personal HOUSE and bedroom
- to the HOUSE of your STAFF
- your NATION
- AMONG YOU,NATION/STAFF
-----------------------------------

Rashi interprets the paragraph CLIMACTICALLY
--------------------------------------------
- 1st the Frogs will attack the HOUSE of Pharoh
	who initiated the evil
- 2nd the Frogs will attack the HOUSES of Pharoh's STAFF
- 3rd the Frogs will attack the NATION who complied with
  the evil decrees
- 4th the Frogs will attack the PEOPLE THEMSELVES and
    e.g. jump into their mouths
---------------------------------------------

Again: Rashi's derivation is NOT from strange words
or grammar. It is not even from the contrast
- Attack the HOUSE of (Attack on utensils)
- Attack AMOUNG you   (Personal attack)

Rather Rashi infers his derivation from the ASSUMPTION
that the list of paragraph items SHOULD be interpreted
CLIMACTICALLY. AFTER assuming this Rashi felt justified
in emphasizing the difference between ATTACK HOUSE
vs ATTACK AMONG YOU and interpreted the frog attacks
in two stages (POSSESSIONS/PERSONAL).
