VERSE: Gn47-13a

========================== Gn47-13a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The FORMATTING rule seeks to explain Rashis based on
the FORMATTING of the Biblical text. FORMATTING techniques
in modern writing include use of bold, italics,underline,
bullets, paragraph indentation and similar items. The Bible
indicated FORMATTING using its own techniques: For example
- the Bible indicates bold,italics, underline thru REPETITION
- the Bible indicates bulleting, thru REPEATING keywords
The Bible can also indicate formatting thru meaning without
any formal structure.

EXAMPLE Gn47-13a
----------------
The description of the famine in Egypt
begins with the following text.
in Gn41-53:57
--------------------------------------------
Gn41-53:57  Famine in other lands;famine in Egypt;
Gn41-53:57  Joseph had food for Egypt and all lands
--------------------------------------------

Rashi's point is that the natural continuation
of this narrative is the following verses:
Gn47-13:26 which states
-------------------------------------------
Gn47-13:26  Joseph gathers all money in
            Egypt to pay for food
Gn47-13:26  Joseph gathers Egyptian assets and land
Gn47-13:26  Joseph returns land and requests 20% tax
-------------------------------------------

As can be seen from the verse references this
narrative unit is broken into two halves. The
break is spent discussing the reuniting of
Joseph and his brothers. The break passage
begins Gn42-01:02
--------------------------------------
Jacob told his sons to go down to Egypt
to buy food because of the famine
--------------------------------------

The break passage ends with the fulfillment
of Joseph's dreams--Gn47-11:12
-------------------------------------------------
Joseph gives his family a city
and supports his family
------------------------------------------------

Hence the straightforward
Rashi comment:
----------------------------------------------
Gn47-13 continues the famine discussed
in Gn41-53:57.
----------------------------------------------

In this case Rashi's comment
is a pure formatting comment.
