VERSE: Ex12-14c

========================== Ex12-14c ============================

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: Ex12-14c
-------------------
The biblical text at Ex12-14 states
------------------------------------
This day (Passover) will be a MEMORIAL
And you will celebrate it
-- [GENERAL THEME ]FOR GENERATIONS
-- [DETAILS       ] AN ETERNAL STATUTE
------------------------------------

Note the THEME-DETAIL structure. Hence the Rashi
------------------------------------------------
The commemorative holiday is a requirement for
all generations (not just for the IMMEDIATE
generations that went out of Egypt and PERSONALLY
saw God's hand)
------------------------------------------------

Here we follow the Rabbi Ishmael Style rule that
in a THEME-DETAIL paragraph the DETAIL sections
defines the THEME of the paragraph. So in this
passage the EXTENT of commemorazation is ETERNAL
(not just for 1-2 Generations for the people who
PERSONALLY saw the miracles).
