VERSE: EXAMPLE6

RASHIS COVERED: Dt21-17b Ex12-04c Lv17-13b Lv18-15a Dt13-13a



                --GRAND SUMMARY---
                --METHOD 2c-------
           --WE INTERPRET EXAMPLES LITERALLY--
       --HERE IS A DESCRIPTION FROM THE SUCCINCT SUMMARY-

2c) Lv17-13b Cover up the blood
             if you slaughter an animal----------(GENERAL)
             that is eaten-----------------------(DETAIL)
    RASHI: So you ONLY cover up blood of KOSHER animals
           that are slaughtered (because 'they can be eaten')
    In method 2c the EXAMPLE (that is eaten)ADDS A REQUIREMENT
    but does not erase the GENERAL category.



                --WE CONTINUE THE EXAMPLES--


(27) Lv17-13b You must cover up spilled blood of
         a slaughtered animal-------------------GENERAL
         (provided) that (it) can be eaten------DETAIL

     RASHI: The phrase "THAT CAN BE EATEN" adds a requirement.
       You are only required to COVER THE BLOOD of a
       slaughtered animal if it is KOSHER (ie if it can be
       eaten). But you are not required to cover the blood
       of a non-kosher animal.






(28) BACKGROUND: A typical household of 4-12 cannot consume
     one lamb--there would be leftovers. The Bible says

     Ex12-04c
         For the Passover Lamb, you combine households--GENERAL
         till the number of people,ACCORDING TO---------DETAIL
         THEIR APPETITE,can be served by one lamb

     RASHI: The phrase ACCORDING TO THEIR APPETITE adds a
       requirement. You don't count people who eat
       little, such as the sick and elderly






(29)Dt13-13a If a CITY in the ----------------------GENERAL
         TERRITORY THAT GOD GAVE YOU TO DIVIDE UP---DETAIL
         worships idols then it is destroyed

    RASHI: The extra phrase
       "IN THE TERRITORY THAT GOD GAVE YOU TO DIVIDE UP'
       indicates an extra REQUIREMENT. It shows that if
       Jerusalem worshipped idols then it is not destroyed
       (Because Jerusalem was not divided among the tribes)







(30) Dt21-17b

   He shall give his 1st born, double inheritance (GENERAL)
   among the things found by him                  (DETAILS)


   RASHI: The phrase "among the things found by him"
   distinguishes between eg jewelery which a person
   BOTH owns and "has by him" vs bonds and stock
   which are proof of ownership (but the money is not
   yet 'found by him'-because you have to 'cash in' the bond).

   Thus the phrase 'among the things found by him'
   adds a DETAIL or prerequisite that the 1st born
   should only inherit double among what his father really
   (already) has/possesses..but not eg bonds or assets
   (The firstborn inherits a single portion of his fathers
    bonds but a double portion of his fathers equipment)









(31) Lv18-15a
     Don't commit adultery with your DAUGHTER-IN-LAW---GENERAL
     Don't commit adultery with your SON'S WIFE--------DETAIL

  RASHI: The adultery prohibition is only on a DAUGHTER IN LAW
       that is also your SON'S WIFE (So it is not Biblically
       prohibited to have an affair with your sons RAPE-
       VICTIM or with your sons NON-JEWISH-MISTRESS).
       (NOTE: The Bible 'streches' the meaning of daughter-in
       law to include rape victim and mistresses)
