VERSE: Ex21-11a
========================== Ex21-11a ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The FORMATTING rule seeks to explain Rashis based on
the FORMATTING of the Biblical text. FORMATTING techniques
in modern writing include use of bold, italics,underline,
bullets, paragraph indentation and similar items. The Bible
indicated FORMATTING using its own techniques: For example
- the Bible indicates bold,italics, underline thru REPETITION
- the Bible indicates bulleting, thru REPEATING keywords
The Bible can also indicate formatting thru meaning without
any formal structure.
EXAMPLE Ex21-07:11
------------------
Ex21-07:11 has the following structure
---------------------------------------
When a person sells his daughter as a slave
she doesn't go out like male slaves
If the owner doesn't like her
-CASE 1: He is no longer interested in marrying her
-CASE 2: and he doesn't help her get redeemed
then he is not allowed to resell her
-CASE 3: If the owner's son marries her
she shall have full wife rights
Even if the son marries a second wife
she (the former slave) still has
rights of food, clothing and relations
And if the above 3 are not done then she
shall go out free without money[When she reaches
puberty]
---------------------------------------
(Rashi)This is a rare situation in which the Bible
explicitly identifies the paragraph as having
3 subsections, 3 methods of freedom, to which
it adds a 4th
- marriage to owner
- redemption
- marriage to son
- leaving at puberty
In presenting the bulleted structure of this
paragraph we have also presented several
interpretations of the verses--these
inteprretations follow other Rashi rules
and will be dealt with elsewhere.
LIST107x below summarizes this argument.
