VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main techniques is to use
Cross references. These cross referenced
verses illumine the meaning of the original
verses. There are 5 techniques of cross
referencing.

EXAMPLE Ex30-12b
----------------
Ex30-12b states that the half-dollar tax atones: This is
illumined by 2S24-01:25 which states that King David and
all of Israel were punished for the census taken(Showing
that direct census is a sin*1)

EXAMPLE Ex30-13e
----------------
Ex30-13e speaks about the SHEKEL currency equalling
20 GAYRAH. This is illumined by 1S02-36 which shows
the GAYRAH was a unit of currency

Ex30-16b
--------
Ex30-16b states that the half-dollar tax was used
for the TEMPLE service. This is illumined by Ex38-26:28
which shows, more specifically, that this silver was
used for the silver sockets and curtain hooks.

Ex30-18d
--------
Ex30-18 orders that the Priestly washbin be placed
between the ALTAR and the TEMPLE. This is illumined by
Ex40-27:29 which shows that of the two altars--the
Golden altar was placed INSIDE the Temple while it was
the COPPER ALTAR that was placed OUTSIDE the Temple
before the door. Hence the WASHBIN was placed between
the Temple and the COPPER altar*2.

COMMENTS
*1 The traditional explanation is that since God
sends blessings in uncounted things, therefore
if we count avoid Gods blessings.

*2 There are two points made by Rashi on this verse
The other point deals with the meaning of the
word INBETWEEN. Rashi interprets this word
broadly vs literally(Not exactly inbetween but
in the general horizontal line of inbetweeness).
We will have opportunity to discuss this in
another posting
LIST210a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03

We present a list of verses where
further details of the verse are presented
from other verses.

The classical example is the Passover Hagaddah
example: The verse Dt26-05d, ONLY A FEW JEWS
WENT DOWN TO EGYPT, is illumined by Gn46-27
which states that 70 PEOPLE WENT DOWN TO EGYPT.

Thus the technique of OTHER VERSES teaches
us that A FEW JEWS(Dt26-05d) means 70(Gn46-27)

LIST250a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03

We present a list of verses where
the meaning of words in one verse are
illumined by the usage of these words
in other verses.

The classical example is the word CALF
which occurs several times in the
Torah(eg Gn15-09).

We know a CALF is a YOUNG OX/BULL
but we dont know HOW YOUNG. The details
are gives by Lv09-07d which shows that
CALFS are 1 year (And this derivation
is accepted legally)

Ex30-18d Washpan near ALTAR Ex40-27:29 COPPER ALTAR
COMMENTS
*1 Ex13-20 Jews journeyed from Succoth after Exodus
Ex12-27 Exodus: Jews go from Raamsayth to Succoth
Nu33-05 Exodus, Then Raamsayth, THen Succoth

The point is that Nu33-05 makes it clear that
there were 3 places
- Exodus FROM Egypt
- TO Raamsayth
- TO Succoth.

Ex13-20 only mentions 2 of the places
Ex12-27 makes it sound like they left EGYPT, ie
they left RAAMSAYTH.

It is in fact common for places to have multiple
names. So Nu33-05 illumines that there were 3
distinct places

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main methods is the interpretation
of special Biblical queues as indicating such
modern typing methods as bullets, bolds, paragraphing
etc.

The Biblical Author did not use BULLETS. Instead when
a bullet effect is to be created, the Bible repeats
a keyword.

EXAMPLE: Ex30-23
-----------------
Thus Ex30-23 exhibits the following contrast

-- KINMAN is brought in HALF UNITS of 250
-- KNEY-- is brought in ---- UNITS OF 250

This blatant contrast suggests that 250 units of KNEY are
brought while 500 units of KINMAN are brought.*1 *2


EXAMPLE: Ex30-20:21
-------------------
The bullets create a repetition effect and emphasize
two stanzas thus indicating two separate capital crimes

-- when they come to the temple they wash or die
-- when they come to the altar they wash or die*3

Thus a priest who EITHER comes into the temple or
who serves on the altar without washing is liable
to death at the hands of heaven.

Ex30-20:21 2 causes of death bulleted
COMMENTS
*1 We could also classify this using the ALIGNMENT METHOD
(TWO CASES). In reality all 2 case alignments are
examples of BULLETING. The contrast created by the
bullets implies two cases

*2 The Talmud FURTHER explains why KINMAN is brought
in half units (Rather than whole units). (Roughly,
more precision is achieved when weighing two halves)

*3 It would be punchier if EACH BULLET
corresponded to ONE VERSE. However,
the second bullet is broken up over 2 verses
Thus this example could belong to our
multi-verse sentence series.
LIST102a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


We exhibit the bullet structure of Ex30-23
showing two methods of bringing perfume
The contrast implies that the total KINMAN
brought is 500
PERFUME TYPE UNITS USED AMOUNG PER UNIT
KINMAN BOSEM HALF UNITS 250
KNEY BOSEM 250
LIST103a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


We exhibit the bullet structure of Ex30-20:21
This bullet structure clearly emphasizes 2
capital crimes
PRIEST ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT*2
When they ENTER the temple Wash
When they SERVE on the altar Wash *1
COMMENTS
*1 As mentioned above, this bulleted
structure would be clearer if verses 20
and 21 were combined

*2 If this requirement is not met there
is a death penalty at the hands of
heaven.
