VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Many Rashis are basic, explaining MEANING or GRAMMAR
However some Rashis are based on comparisons with
other verses. When several similar verses are
ALIGNED, the minor differences in these verses
suggest new laws.

EXAMPLE
-------
Two 4 word phrases on sprinkling oil during the
Lepor Guilt Offering Procedure give a punchy example

By way of introduction recall that during the Lepor
Guilt offering
- 1st we sprinkle blood
- then we sprinkle oil
The oil is sprinkled on the same place as the blood
was sprinkled.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Lv14-17  sprinkle....ON THE ------------ BLOOD OF GUILT SAC
Lv14-28a sprinkle....ON THE place of the BLOOD OF THE GUILT SAC
---------------------------------------------------------------

From the alignment Rashi infers a simple nuance
-- it is the PLACE that determines not the BLOOD.
-- Hence the priest sprinkles even if the blood
-- got washed off (So there was a PLACE OF BLOOD
-- but no BLOOD)

The two verses on sprinkling oil during the
Lepor Guilt offering. The alignment differences
leads to a Talmudic type distinction

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the
meaning of words the same way a dictionary
explains the meaning of words.

One vehicle of word meaning presented by Rashi
is the two letter root theory. As everyone
know the Hebrew language is based on 3 letter
roots which are CONJUGATED in various ways.

For example the root S-M-R can mean,
I WATCHED (ShMaRTi), YOU WILL WATCH (TiShMoR)
etc based on conjugation.

In addition to the 3 letter theory Rashi believed
in the 2 Letter root theory--that is 3 letter
roots govern GRAMMATICAL conjugation while
2 letter roots govern MEANING. Every 3 letter
root has a meaning that is determined by the
meanings of the 1 and 2 letter roots comprising
the root.

For example: The letter NUN denotes INTENSITY,
ALOT, or INTRINSICness. The list below illustrates
this.

EXAMPLE
-------
- Tauv-Caph means INSIDE. Tauv-NUN-Caph therefore
means ALOT INSIDE--in fact Tauv-NUN-Caph denotes
the soft inside of the ear.

EXAMPLE
-------
- BO denotes INSIDE. Beth-Hey-NUN means
INTRINSIC to INSIDENESS. In fact, the Bo-Hen
denotes the THUMB the organ that enables
one to hold an object (The thumb opposes the
other fingers and enables held objects to
be inside the fist)

Rashi believed in 3 letter conjugation roots
and 2 letter meaning roots. That is, Rashi
believed that each root is conjugated
according to the rules of 3 letter roots.

But Rashi supplemented this with the belief
that each root can be explained by ascribing
meaning to individual letters and seeing
the 3 letter roots meaning as emanating from
its letters.

A simple example is that Nun-Beth(HOLLOW)
means CHILD*1 OF (NUN) INSIDE(Beth). Other
examples where NUN means CHILD=POSSESSED are
presented below.

In the list below the English translation
is CAPPED while the Hebrew is LOWERCASE

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
When the Lepor wishes to remove his impurity he followed
a LEPOR PURIFICATION PROCEDURE. This procedure differed
depending on whether the LEPOR was rich or poor.

- The RICH LEPOR procedure is mentioned at Lv14-10:20
- The POOR LEPOR procedure is mentioned at Lv14-21:32

There are a total of 17 steps to the procedure mentioned.
Both these chapters almost repeat verbatim the
same items. By contrasting certain items we find the
basic differences
-- The RICH LEPOR used 3 lambs
-- The POOR LEPOR used 1 lamb + 2 birds

The procedures are compactly depicted in the list below
By aligning the bulleted lists we infer the context
of many statements (These are indicated by the footnotes
which cover several Rashis)

We align the 2 Lepor purification procedures (For Rich
and poor lepors). The basic differences are that
- The Rich procedure uses 3 lambs(Guilt, Sin and UP sac)
- The poor procedure uses 1 lamb(Guilt) and 2 birds

Complete details are presented in the footnotes which
summarize several Rashis

Nu15-01:16 lays down rules that FOR EVERY SACRIFICE
(With a few minor exceptions) we have Minchah libations.
The minchah libations occur in the following quantities
-For SHEEP--- Use 1/10 flour and 1/4 wine
-For RAM----- Use 2/10 flour and 1/3 wine
-For OX------ Use 3/10 flour and 1/2 wine
These minchah libations are frequently cross referenced
in the rest of the Bible. The list below shows such
cross references in Nu28. These minchah libations are
standard and are always in these proportions.
