VERSE: Gn43-24a



RULE
====
Some Rashis focus on the >OVERALL STRUCTURE< of a paragraph
rather than on the meaning of 1 or 2 words or phrases



APPLICATION
===========
---------------------------------------------------------------
Gn43-17 ...& the person brought the brothers INTO THE HOUSE
Gn43-18 ...but they were afraid on why they were brought in
Gn43-19 ...so the brothers went to person by the DOOR
Gn43-23 ...& he said PEACE TO YOU..& he brought out Shimon
Gn43-24 ...& the person brought the brothers INTO THE HOUSE
Gn43-24 ...&he gave them water to bathe &fodder for the animals
----------------------------------------------------------------



RASHI
=====
Rashi is Simple.He simply makes a point on the overall structure
The verses clearly show that the brothers although they were
brought into the house did not remain there; rather they went
back to the doorman to assuage their fears; only when the doorman
reassured him did they (re)accept the invitation to come in.

Rashi says >There are two verses with GOING INTO THE HOUSE<
(Gn43-17 and Gn43-24). But Rashi is not being picky and
commenting on the TWONESS. Rather Rashi is commenting on
the OVERALL STRUCTURE of
--------------------------------------------------------------
--Coming into the house
--being afraid
--talking and being reassured
--coming in again and being given bathing & fodder facilities
---------------------------------------------------------------

Rashi mentioned most of these items (The TWO comings, the being
afraid etc).

But we must read the whole chapter to fully appreciate it(eg
Rashi did not point out how at the second coming they were
given bathing and fodder facilities).
