VERSE: Gn37-10a

======================== Gn37-10a ============================


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the ALIGNMENT,
that is, the word by word comparison, of almost identical
verses.The minor variations between these almost similar
verses suggests nuances and differences or even meaning. We
call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT

-When Rashi identifies two cases from the ALIGNMENT we call
this the Rashi subrule of TWO CASES

-When Rashi infers nuances from the variations between the
almost similar verses (or verse phrases) we call this the
Rashi subrule of NUANCES.

-When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost
identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING.

EXAMPLE Gn37-09:10
----------------
Note the contrast between Gn37-09 and Gn37-10
---------------------------------------------
And he dreamed yet another dream, and TOLD IT TO HIS BROTHERS
and said, Behold, I have again dreamed a dream; and,
behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars
made obeisance to me.
---------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------
And he TOLD IT TO HIS FATHER AND TO HIS BROTHERS
and his father rebuked him, and said to him,
What is this dream that you have dreamed?
Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed
come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
-------------------------------------------------

As the capped words show
- he told it to his brothers
- he told it to his brothers and father.

Hence the Rashi, based on this ALIGNMENT
-------------------------------------------
He initially told it to his brothers who
resented him. So he retold it to the
whole family (father in presence of his
brothers)
-------------------------------------------

Alignment of verses with Joe told dream to BROTHERS vs FAMILY
==================================================================
VERSE    TEXT of verse with word for NAMING, CAPPED
======== =========================================================
Gn37-09  He told the dream                   to his brothers
Gn37-10  He told the dream to his father and to his brothers
Differs  *1                *2                *2

NOTES
-----
*1 The same in both verses

*2 So (Rashi) he
   - first told his brothers who resented him and
   - then told his family (Say at the dinner table)
     literally: both his father and brothers
