VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
A major method of Rashi inference is the ALIGNMENT
method in which similar verses that differ in minor
nuances are aligned. These minor differences shed further
light on the verses meaning.

In the examples below we ALIGN three verses on oil
involvement with minchah offerings

EXAMPLE 1
---------
Two phrases are used: MIXING WITH OIL vs ANNOINTING
Hence we infer two activities are done. Here we
use ALIGNMENT to infer TWO CASES

EXAMPLE 2
---------
The Bible speaks about both MATZOH LOAVES vs
FLOUR being mixed with oil. Hence I infer that
the LOAVES are MIXED WITH OIL at the FLOUR
stage. Here we use ALIGNMENT to infer NUANCES
and details of the procedure

EXAMPLE 3
---------
The Bible uses ANNOINT and POUR for the same situation.
Hence we infer that the ANNOINTING should have an
ASPECT OF POURING (eg repeatedly annoint till the
whole matzoh loaf is covered) Here we use ALIGNMENT
to infer MULTIPLE CRITERIA in the procedure

==================== LIST313a ==============================

The contrasts in Ex29-02 clearly show that two types
of mixing with oil:

-- MIXING WITH OIL (eg MIXING flour with oil before baking)
-- ANNOINTED WITH OIL (After baking)

See LIST313a LIST320a LIST303a
=================================================================
Ex29-02                          Lv02-04
================================ ================================
Matzah loaves MIXED IN OIL       Matzah wafers ANNOINTED with oil
Matzah wafers ANNOINTED with oil Matzah loaves MIXED IN OIL
=================================================================

=========== LIST320a =====================

The oil activity is called both
- POURING
- ANNOINTING

We infer that there should be aspects
of both*10

See LIST313a LIST320a LIST303a
==========================================
VERSE    Type of Oil activity
======== =================================
Lv02-01  POUR on it oil
Lv02-06  POUR on it oil
Ex29-02  ANNOINTED with oil
Lv02-04  ANNOINTED with oil

--------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------

*10 Rashi brings two Talmudic opinions on
    how to harmonize POURING & ANNOINTING

    OPINION 1--MULTIPLE ANNOINTS
    ----------------------------
    Keep on annointing till the whole LOG
    of oil is poured on the matzoh

    OPINION 2--An L-Annoint
    ------------------------
    (Annoint lengthwise and widthwise
    like the English Capital L or the
    Greek Chi)

    IDEA: Annointing has been fulfilled

    Furthermore since we have annointed
    lengthwise and widthwise we can
    more easily smear the oil on the
    whole matzah (As if it had been poured)

    The important thing here is that
    the ALIGNMENT shows that the oil
    activity must involve both ANNOINTING
    and POURING. Talmudic opinion then
    differs on HOW both these activites
    are done.
==========================================


=========== LIST303a =====================

As the ALIGNMENT clearly shows--the
MIXING with oil is done at the FLOUR
stage of making the matzoh.
==========================================
Verse    What          Mixed with oil
======== ============= ===================
Lv02-05  flour         mixed with oil
Ex29-02  MATZOH LOAVES mixed in oil
Lv02-04  MATZOH LOAVES mixed in oil
==========================================
