SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment
of ALMOST similar 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 infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost
identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING.
EXAMPLE: PREPARATION FOR GODS DESCENT
-------------------------------------
There are three verses in Ex19-10:22
which speak about the preparation of
the Jews for God's descent to
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ex19-10:11 Sanctify Wash clothes Prepare God to Moses
Ex19-15b No women contact Prepare Moses to Nation
Ex19-22c Sanctify To Priests
------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 4 Rashis which together state as follows:
The three/four words
- SANCTIFY,
- WASH CLOTHES
- NO WOMEN CONTACT,
- PREPARE
together have a connotation of
----------------------------
- abstain from ritual impurity(such as sexual acts)
- immerse in water and attain purity
- purity = sanctity
-----------------------------
The idea that
- PURITY=SANCTITY
- WASH CLOTHES = IMMERSION IN MIKVAH
is consistent with
other verses such Lv22-02:07 and Nu19-07.
