*1 Rashi identifies the meaning of Sh-M-D as
-----------------------------------
Destroying and leaving NO CHILDREN
-----------------------------------
However as the above list shows, Sh-M-D
more precisely means to
- leave no children or more generally
- leave no survivors

Thus by examining the list we enrich
our understanding of Rashi

*1 eg To FIRE a furnace

*2 Ex16-20b

*3 Ex19-12a

*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
means make them embroidered

*5 Nu04-13b

*6 Lv17-04a

*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
- DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
See LIST814a for more details

*1 There are two steps here
- DOUGH (the object) refers to DOUGH RISING (Verb)
- DOUGH RISING refers to ANY SWELLING

Similarly
- FLY (Housefly) refers to FLIGHT OF HOUSEFLY(Verb)
- HOUSEFLY FLIGHT refers to ANY TYPE OF FLYING

In each case the original narrow meaning (housefly flight,
rising dough) refers to the general activity form.
See LIST050d for further details.

*1 Lv21-18 says
- BLemished priests dont serve BECAUSE blemished
- priests dont serve

Mal01-08 amplifies this
- Would you give a blemished animal to your governor?
- Would he like it? Would he grant your favor?

*2 More details are as follows
------------------------------------------------------------
- Jo13-03 tells us that AVIM were a PHILISTIN nation
- Jo13-10 tells us that God would conquer it for the Jews
- Gn26-18 Tells us that Abraham made a treaty with Avimelech
- Gn20-02 clarifies that Avimelech was King of Pelistim
-------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the Rashi that Joshua could not directly conquer the
AVIM because of the treaty with the Philistines. So God
sent the CAFTORIM to conquer the AVIM and then it was
legal to conquer the land and give it to the Jews.

*3 The Dt09-20 text says that
- God wanted to DESTROY Aaron
- But Moses prayed for him

In LIST811d we have seen that the nuances of the
Hebrew DESTROY means DESTROY with no one left over

Hence the Rashi that
- 2 of Aarons 4 children died( DESTROY=no survivors)
- 2 were spared (Efficacy of Moses prayer)

*1 There is innovation here. Rashi does not just generalize
the details. Rather Rashi generalizes the Theme-detail
relation - The prayer listed in the THEME for the Golden
calf was also recited at other rebellions (The DETAIL
section lists 5 other rebellions of the Jews). In
fact List411d below confirms this assertion of Rashi

*1 Rashis point-- The text of prayer does NOT just refer to
the specific prayers by the Golden calf--rather, by virtue
of the theme-detail-theme structure, the text of prayer
refers to the general prayers Moses made at each rebellion

*1  Rashi not only connects 2 paragraphs. He also connects
all Biblical paragraphs in this chapter. See
footnote *10 for further details


*2 Dt28 gives a long list of curses if the Jews violate
the commandments.

Dt29-12 says "You are all STANDING before God today" In
other words despite the curses for disobediance you are
still here before God(The implication being that no
matter how angry God gets he will not destroy you)

A further support for this theme can come from the
General-particular-General form

Dt28    GENERAL:    Curses for disobediance
Dt29-12 PARTICULAR: You are standing here before God
Dt29-19 GENERAL:    Curses for disobediance

Thus the General-Particular-General form shows that Gods
curses still allow us to "Stand before him"--in other
words they are educative curses not punitive.


*3 In other words (always) "Observe the Sabbaths"
DESPITE a request to the contrary "By your parents"

This can happen if eg your parents ask you to
desecrate the Sabbath.  You must observe the
Sabbath even if your parents request to
the contrary.

And this can be generalized to all Torah laws(that
they take precedence over your parents request)


*4 Wear Tzitzith DESPITE the fact that they may have Shaatnez
Wool and linen together (In the priestly garments made of
Linen the Tzitzith were made of wool--thus the commandment
of Tzitzith OVERRIDES the prohibtion of wearing wool and
linen)

*5 More specifically Rashi (Dt10-12a) states
---------------------------------------------
Despite the 5 rebellions that the Jews did
against God, nevertheless, God still loves
the Jews. In fact Dt10-12 states that all
the Jews need do to earn this love is to
revere God
---------------------------------------------

*10

On a superficial level Rashi seems to be connecting 2
verses.

Avoid idolatry DESPITE your being a slave to a non jew
(who encourages its violation). Do not think "I will
worship idols now and when I am free I will go
back to believing in God"

On a profound level Rashi sees a unifying theme to this
whole chapter. The chapter encourages observing the
shimitah laws which encourage abstaining from agriculture
once every 7 years so that people can devote themselves
to God and study. If one violates these laws he is
progressively punished. Here is the sequence of
punishments

{LIST} {Paragraphs in BEHAR}
-------------------------------------------------------
VERSE        LAW
------------ ------------------------------------------
Lv25-01:12   Observe the 7 and 50 year Land sabbaticals
Lv25-13:24   If not you will have to sell your MOVABLES
Lv25-25:28   If not you will have to sell your LAND
Lv25-29:34   If not you will have to sell your HOUSE
Lv25-35:38   If not you will have to           LOAN
Lv25-39:46   If not you will have to become a  SLAVE
Lv25-47:54   If not you'll become a  NONJEWISH SLAVE
Lv26-01:03   If not you'll be tempted to    IDOLATRY
---------------------------------------------------------


Thus Rashi does not merely teach juxtaposition of verses
but he also teaches juxtaposition of ALL paragraphs in
the chapter.
