VERSE: Ex30-03a
============================== Ex30-03a =====================================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The ALIGNMENT method seeks to extract nuances from the minor differences in
the alignment of two almost identical verses. The contrast of the two almost
identical verses points to an emphasis in the minor aligned differences. The
use of alignment to emphasize nuances is similar in tone to the use of
footnotes to emphasize points in modern prose. The ALIGNMENT method can be
used either to infer MEANING, infer NUANCES, or contrast TWO CASES.
EXAMPLE Ex30-03a ALIGNMNET of COPPER vs GOLD altar
-------------------------------------------------
Ex27-01:08 contains the commandment to produce the copper altar.
Ex30-01:05 contains the commandment to produce the gold altar.
By comparing the items in the two chapters we can infer
- which items BOTH altars have
- which items ONLY one altar has.
A reading of Ex27-01:08 shows mention of
-height, width, length, horns, BELT,rings, carrying sticks,HOLLOW BOX form
A reading of Ex30-01:05 shows mention of
-height, width, length, horns, ----,rings, carrying stick, ROOF, CROWN
RASHI: As the capped words show, the GOLD ALTAR has a ROOF while the
COPPER ALTAR is a hollow box filled with dirt without roof.
In the SPIRIT of Rashi I would add,
- the COPPER altar has a BELT, the GOLD altar doesnt
- the GOLD altar has a CROWN, the COPPER altar doesnt
The best way of learning Rashi is taking the methods he uses
and applying it to new situations.

*2 Ex30-01:05
*3 So COPPER ALTAR was in form of a hollow box filled
with dirt but without roof but GOLD ALTAR had roof
-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------------
*10 The Bible mentions accessories by the Copper altar
to emphasize that they should be of copper. I dont
know why accessories are not mentioned by Gold altar.
