SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will very often take a verse whose
meaning is ALREADY understood and ADD a consequence
to the verse. We call this the SPREADSHEET
method since SPREADSHEETS are very often
used to derive consequences of otherwise
understood data. We also classify Rashis
as using the SPREADSHEET method when Rashi
gives COMPUTATIONAL or GEOMETRIC diagrams
to clarify the meaning of the verse.
EXAMPLE Ex10-11b
------------------
Ex26 and Ex27 give a detailed
description of the Wilderness TEMPLE.
We list here a collection of verses
and items along with pictures. The issues
to be resolved are
- what are the dimensions (length width)
- How do the curtains and beams interact
(How much is covered / let free)
LIST690a below presents other Rashis using the SPREADSHEET
principle. LIST690s summarizes the above argument.
EXAMPLE
-------------------------------------------------
(A) South-North Wall--30' inside
---------------------------------------
Ex26-18,20 North-South side=20 Beams
Ex26-16 1 Beam = 10' Tall x 1.5' Wide
Conjecture 1 Beam = 10' Tall x 1.5' Wide x 1' Deep
SubTotal North side= 20 beams x 1.5' wide= 30 feet
(B) Western Wall = 10' inside
-------------------------------------
Ex26-22 WEST = 6 beams
Ex26-23 WEST CORNERS=2 beams (1 per corner)
Ex26-16 1 Beam = 10' Tall x 1.5' Wide (x 1' Deep)
SubTotal WEST side=(6+2)beams x 1.5' Wide = 12'
(C) PICTURE
-------
NORTH OUTSIDE=1+30+1=32
=================|| 1' deep of beam NORTH 30' W ||
10' E || WEST OUTSIDE=10+1+1=12' || S || SOUTH 30' T ||
=================|| 1' deep of beam
(D) OUTSIDE vs INSIDE
-----------------
Conjecture Beams were 1' deep
WEST=12' outside - 2' beam depth =10' inside
NORTH=30' inside+ 2' beam depth =32
Note: Rashi cites a controversy but the above
computations are the simplest and most natural
and fit well with the verses(Rashi Ex26-05a)
(E) TEMPLE CURTAINS
-------------------
Ex26-01 TEMPLE = 10 Curtains
Ex26-02 1 Curtain = 28 x 4
SubTotal TEMPLE=28 x 40 (4 x 10)
(F) TENT CURTAINS (Went over Temple Curtains)
---------------------------------------------
Ex26-07 1 tent = 11 Curtains
Ex26-08 1 Tent Curtain = 30 x 4
Spreadseet TENT = 30 x 44 (4 x 11)
(G) North South-Curtain covering of Temple
-------------------------------------------------
Ex26-16 1 BEAM=10' Tall
Recall from above TEMPLE CURTAIN=28' x 40'
SubTotal 28' Temple Curtain=
= 12' Western outside
8' (of 10') of Northern Height
8' (of 10') of Southern Height (Ex26-05a)
So two cubits were exposed on North and south
(H) North South-Curtain covering of Tent
-------------------------------------------------
Recall from above TENT CURTAIN = 30' x 40'
SubTotal 30' Tent Curtain =
= 12' Western outside
9' (of 10') of Northern Height
9' (of 10') of Southern Height
(Rashi: Ex26-13a Ex26-13b Ex26-13c)
So TENT curtain (9') covered one foot more than
TEMPLE curtain (8') and left one foot exposed
of 10' height.(Rashi: Ex26-08a)
Rashi notes that 'it is proper manners to
cover what is precious--hence the Tent curtain
was 9' so as to cover the more precious Temple
curtain which was 8'.
Rashi conjectures that the one uncovered cubit
of the 10 cubits was the cubit of the SILVER
STAND which he assumes is 1 cubit tall (So the
silver which is metal unlike the wood did not
need the protection of tents)
(I) East West Curtain covering of Temple
-----------------------------------------
31' on top (30' of North Wall + 1' depth of West)
9' of Height of West Wall
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
40' Of Temple Curtains (TEMPLE CURTAINS=28' x 40')
(J) East West Curtain covering of Temple
-----------------------------------------
32' on top (30' of north wall+1' West Depth+1' East depth)
10' on Western side (Height of wall)(Rashi:Ex26-12a Ex26-12b)
2' on eastern side (Rashi: Ex26-09a Ex26-09b)
- - - - - - - - - -
44' of TENT curtains.(TENT CURTAINS=30'x44')

NOTES
-----
*1 There is controversy on this
but this is main approach (Ex26-05a)
*2 The TENT curtains were a second
layer of curtains over the
TEMPLE curtains (Ex26-07)
The TEMPLE curtains in turn
were over the TEMPLE BEAM
structure
*3 Ex26-05a So the TEMPLE curtains
covered 8 of the 10 cubits--
2 cubits were left exposed.
*4 So TENT curtains (9' of cover)
covered one foot more than
the TEMPLE curtains (8' of
cover) and left only one
cubit exposed of 10 cubit height
(Ex26-08a Ex26-13a Ex26-13b
Ex26-13c)*10 *11
*5 Ex26-05a So the TEMPLE curtains
covered 8 of the 10 cubits--
2 cubits were left exposed.
*6 Ex26-12a Ex26-12b
*7 Ex26-09a Ex26-09b
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------
*10 Rashi assumes this one cubit
exposed was the height of the
silver stands for the wooden
beams (It makes sense that the
wood needed protection but
the metal did not
*11 Rashi notes that the less
important TENT curtains were
longer and protected the
more important TEMPLE curtains

NOTES
-----
*1 Many people are familiar with the concept of the
FORMULA PLUG IN. That is a problem is solved by a
formula which you plug into.
But some problems intrinsically cannot (initally)
be solved by a formula. Instead you have to
formulate the problem algebraically and solve;only
then do you have the formula.
In other words these problems are solved by
the EQUATION vs the FORMULA
Thus the statement that the eldest gets double
suggests the following model.
- Suppose the are B brothers
- Suppose 1 of them is eldest
- The Fathers total assets are T (Total)
- Let A be the amount each brother inherits
We have no formula for A
- Then each of the B-1 brothers obtains A
- The eldest obtains double, 2A.
- Together this exhausts the Fathers estate, T
Hence we have (B-1)A + 2A = (B+1)A = T
This gives rise to the formula A = T / (B+1)
An example is a father with 100,000 and 4 children
- T=100,000
- B=4
- So each child take T/(B+1) = 100000/5 = 20,000
- Eldest takes 2*20000=40000
- Other 3 take 20000
- Total distribution =3*20000+40000=100000
See Rambam Inheritance Chapter 2
*2
Rashi gives a clarifying example to the verse GOD FORGIVES HER
--------------------------------------------------------------
- the women vowed to become a nazarite
- the husband annuled her vow
- but the husband did not tell her about the annulment
- the women then violated her vow
-
- In such a case God forgives the women (despite her
intending to commit a sin) because of the unknown
annulment of her husband
-
- We conclude that sin is an attribute of ACTION,not INTENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
*3 Recall that Pharoh ordered all male babys murdered.
Moses was not murdered when born but was kept
in hiding for 3 months. His mother put him in a box
floating on the Nile. When Pharoh's daughter found the
box Miryam, Moses sister, approached Pharoh's daughter
to ask if she wanted help from a Midwife.
If Miryam was a nobody this would have aroused suspicion
Why was she mysteriously appearing to offer help after
the baby was found.
Therefore Miryam was probably a professional midwife.
She could offer help without suspicion. Similarly
Yocheved must have been a midwife...she made her
living thru nursing and delivering so no body
would suspect her of being the mother.
This proof is not iron clad---but rather the
identification of Miryam and Yocheved as
midwives alleviates some of the "coincidences"
that happen in the story.
*4 The Egyptian magicians tried to bring
the LICE out FROM ELSEWHERE (So that
they could take credit for it) but could
not do so
*5
There is an old controversy whether
WITCHCRAFT is real or not. I have solved
this problem in an unpublished article
- WITCHCRAFT does NOT affect the real world
Hence in some sense it is NOT REAL
- WITCHCRAFT takes effect by using HALLUCINATIONS
It causes the recipient to SENSE THINGS that
are not there. For example a WITCH may make
a person believe that he sees FLYING ELEPHANTS
- - The witch has NOT PRODUCED flying elephants
- - But the witch HAS PRODUCED AN HALLUCINATION
In this sense witchcraft is PSYCHOLOGICALLY REAL.
Using this distinction we can understand why
the Egypitan WITCHES (= HALLUCINATION CREATORS)
were able to CREATE FROGS but not LICE.
FROGS are big and it is easy to make people
hallucinate them. LICE is minute. Rashi
explains that it is difficult to make
people HALLUCINATE minute objects...for this
reason the Egyptian witches could not produce
the lice. (And hence they had to recognize
Moses as a prophet vs a WITCH)
