VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Rashi has 6 main methods of interpretation.
Some of these methods are INTERNAL--such as
word meanings and grammar.

By contrast other methods are external. Rashi
illumines a verses meaning using cross
references to other verses.

A particularly interesting example are
cross references involving the tabernacle

The Tabernacle construction is mentioned
in 3 places
- Ex25 thru Ex27 The order to make a Temple
- Ex28 - Ex29    Moses assignment of tasks
- Ex35 - Ex40    The carrying out of the tasks
Hence cross references from these 3
sources illumine each other. There are
many Rashis that fit into this paradigm.

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
TO BORDER means to make a Border. In general (as
shown in the lists below) every noun (object) can
denote a verb (activity). There are 3 primary ways
a noun (object) can become a verb(activity)
-- You can REMOVE the object (eg to DUST)
-- You can CREATE the object (eg to FLOWER)
-- You can USE the object (eg to HAMMAR)

EXAMPLE: Ex19-12a BORDER the nation from the hill
EXAMPLE: Ex16-20b TO WORM to make worms
EXAMPLE: Nu04-13b DUST the ashes from the altar
EXAMPLE: Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain grammar
the same way grammar textbooks explain grammar.

An important component of grammar are the rules governing
PARAGRAPH STYLE. Modern typing indicates paragraph style
by using such items as indentation, bold etc.  The Bible
indicates paragraph style by skillfully using contrasting
keywords.

Ex28 speaks about the topic: THE PRIESTLY GARMENTS
Certain verses begin AARON & HIS CHILDREN while other
verses begin AARON or CHILDREN.

These introductory keywords create an indentation effect.
We infer from the subparagraphs that Aaron has 8 garments
- Breastplate(Choshen) Suit (Ayfod)
- Overcoat (Meil) Embroidered Shirt (Cutonet)
- Hat (Mitznefet/Migbaat) Belt(Avnayt)
- Pants (Michnathayim) Head-Mask (Tzizth)

His children only wear 4 garments
- Embroidered Shirt (Cutonet)
- Hat (Mitznefet/Migbaat) Belt(Avnayt)
- Pants (Michnathayim)
