VERSE: Ex25-10a


THE VERSE
=========
The verse states >You shall make an ARK OF WOOD<

RASHI
=====
Rashi states that the ark resembled a legless chest.
It was a sort of rectangular box with 4 sides, and
a bottom, but open at top.


COMMENT
=======
I refer to the Rashi rule used as >PICTURE<---Rashis goal
is simply to clarify a description using a visual image
familiar to the reader.

Today we have many books with pictures, particularly about
the Mishkan, which fulfill this need.

In the past I have vacillated as to whether to include this
>PICTURE< principle among the Rashi rules. But in light
of Rashis like the one on Ex25-10a I think it proper to
reintroduce it.

RASHI RULE USED: PICTURE
