VERSE: Ex30-08b

===================== Ex30-08b =================================


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The STYLE method governs whether a verse is interpreted
literally or broadly. Many of the 13 exegetical rules
of Rabbi Ishmael are rules of STYLE. Certain styles require
strict literal interpretation of the text while certain styles
require broad interpretation of the text. The
THEME-DETAIL-THEME method perceives the Biblical text as a
paragraph--the DETAILS are perceived as examples, to be
generalized and interpreted like the THEME.


EXAMPLE Ex30-07:08
------------------
The Biblical text at Ex30-07:08 has the following form
-------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL Offer incense
DETAIL                    at menorah time in morn offer
DETAIL                    at menorah time in eve  offer
GENERAL continual incense
-------------------------------------------------------


Rashi (paraphrased)
-------------------
   - THEME by itself -- offer incense --
   would imply offer anytime of day

   - DETAIL by itself -- offer at menorah time--
   would imply RESTRICTIVELY that IF you offer
   incense you can ONLY offer it by day

   - THEME-DETAIL-THEME form indicates a paragraph:
   OFFER INCENSE THE SAME WAY YOU DO MENORAH--
   DO IT ONCE A DAY BUT ONLY IN THE MORNING

   Here the THEME-DETAIL-THEME has broadened
   the fully restrictive detail clause, offer
   by morning and eve, but every  day

   Still another way of looking at this is that
   THEME-DETAIL-THEME form creates an analogy
   -----------------------------------------
   Incense is offered the same way the menorah
   services are performed:
   - Once a day
   - at morn and evening
   -----------------------------------------

NOTES
-----
*1 - GENERAL theme by itself -- offer incense --
   would imply offer anytime of day

   - DETAIL theme by itself -- offer at menorah time
   would imply RESTRICTIVELY that IF you offer
   incense you can ONLY offer it by day

   - GENERAL-DETAIL together form a paragraph theme:
   OFFER INCENSE THE SAME WAY YOU DO MENORAH--
   DO IT ONCE A DAY BUT ONLY IN THE MORNING

   Here the GENERAL-DETAIL theme has broadened
   the fully restrictive detail clause--offer
   by morning and eve  but every  day
