VERSE: Ex20-10a

========================= Ex20-10a =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The traditional approach to Rashi emphasizes
- word meaning
- grammar
- dealing with problems and anomalies such
as extra words.

In this list we have also advocated skillful use of
style. For example we suggest that repeated keywords
indicate the modern equivalant of a BULLETING EFFECT

We call this the Rashi rule of BULLETS with the Rashi
subrule of KEYWORDS AS BULLETS

EXAMPLE - Ex20-10c
------------------
The Biblical text states as follows
----------------------------------------------------------
Main Clause You should do no work on the Sabbath; you
Bullets                                    & children
Bullets                                    & slaves
Bullets                                    & animals
Bullets                                    & non-jews
----------------------------------------------------------
Here the KEYWORD, AND, acts as a bullet listing those
prohibited from work on the Sabbath.


Rashi paraphrased comments
----------------------------------------------
The CONTEXT of the verse as defined by the bullets is that
   - you should do no work
   - no one should do work for you(even if not prohibited)
   - create an atmosphere where no one does work

We are using the Rabbi Ishmael rule of CONTEXT.
    The novelty we are contributing is that the Rabbi Ishmael
    rule of context can be facilitated by a bullet structure:
    The bullet structure defines the CONTEXT--thus in this
    verse the bulleted list consists of beings not fully
    obligated to observe commandments (and hence we infer
    that CHILDREN refer to LITTLE CHILDREN who resemble
    slaves, animals and non-Jews in that they are not
    fully obligated to do all commandments)
