VERSE: Gn20-07a


======================== Gn20-07a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will very often take a verse whose
meaning is ALREADY understood and ADD a consequence
to the verse.

In other words the
- WORDS and
- GRAMMAR
used by the verse are standard and understood.
- OTHER VERSES do not add further details to
the verses meaning.

If Rashi adds consequences or assumptions or methods to
the verses meaning we call this the SPREADSHEET
method since SPREADSHEETS are very often
used to derive consequences from otherwise
understood data.

If the additional inferences are
- numerical, and can be depicted with a
  SPREADSHEET of numbers we say Rashi is
  using the ALGEBRAIC spreadsheet method
- diagramatic, we say Rashi is using the
  GEOMETRIC spreadsheet method
- verbal-logical, we say Rashi is using
  the CONSEQUENCE SPREADSHEET method.

EXAMPLE Gn20-07a
----------------
In Gn20-07a God commands Avimelech to
return Abraham's wife Sarah, whom Avimelech
had married, back to Abraham
----------------------------------------
And now
Return the man's wife
for he is a prophet
[and knows the marriage was not consummated]
and he will pray for you and
you will live
----------------------------------------

Rashi CLARIFIES the phrase
---------------------------------------------
for he is a prophet
[and knows the marriage was not consummated]
---------------------------------------------
by showing the logical complement and alternative

---------------------------------------------
If he thought the marriage was consumated
then he would not want his wife back
---------------------------------------------

We classify this Rashi as a SPREADSHEET Rashi
since the Rashi comment
--------------------------------------
If he thought the marriage was NOT CONSUMATED
--------------------------------------

is the LOGICAL COMPLEMENT of the verse statement
---------------------------------------
for he is a prophet[and hence knows that
the marriage was not consumated]
---------------------------------------
