SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries
and noting patterns.

EXAMPLE
-------
Each OFFERING had many component procedures. For example the
animal had to be SLAUGHTERED; its blood had to be GATHERED;
it had to be OFFERED on the altar fire. As the verses list
these COMPONENT PROCEDURES sometimes they just use the word
HE (e.g. HE WILL SLAUGHTER IT) and sometimes they use
the word PRIEST (e.g. THE PRIEST RECEIVES THE BLOOD). We can
study these SUBJECT distributions to find out for which acts
the PRIESTS are required.

We find that PRIESTS are required for dealing with
- receipt and throwing of blood in OFFERINGS
- the FISTFUL in the Minchah offering
But NON PRIESTS can do acts like
- slaughtering

This inference -- justified by a database query on
sentence SUBJECTS is further justified by an explict
OTHER VERSE -- Nu18-07 -- which explicitly states
that only priests are involved in ALTAR RELATED
PROCEDURES.

Query of   WHO (Subject) must do offering components*1

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis five main goals is to illuminate the meaning
of verses thru cross-references.

EXAMPLE: MINCHAH MEMORIAL
-------------------------
- Lv02-16 states OFFER THE MINCHAH MEMORIAL ON THE ALTAR
But we dont know what the word MEMORIAL refers to

- Lv02-09a states RAISE THE MINCHAHS FLOUR/OIL;OFFER A MEMORIAL
Hence we now know that FLOUR and OIL are the ingredients
of the memorial--but we dont know HOW MUCH or if there are
OTHER INGREDIENTS

- Lv02-02g states (a) TAKE A FISTFUL of FLOUR/OIL (b) TAKE
the FRANKINCENSE and (c) OFFER A MEMORIAL
Hence we infer that the FRANKINCENSE if also part of the
memorial. We also infer that we take a FISTFUL of FLOUR/OIL
But we still dont know if this only applies to the particular
Minchah offering discussed in Lv02-02g or whether it applies
to ALL MINCHAH offerings.

- Lv02-06e states in the chapter dealing with ANY MINCHAH
offering that we (a) take a fistful (b) take the
Frankincense and (c) offer a memorial.

We conclude that the MINCHAH MEMORIAL consists of
(a) a FISTFUL of FLOUR and OIL (b) and FRANKINCENSE
This MEMORIAL is offered on the altar.
