*10 The explanation of the list should be clear
- The first column gives the NUMBER of the RASHI RULE used
All Rashi rules may be found with examples at
http://wwww.Rashiyomi.com/workbook.htm

- The second column gives the LIST ID (eg LIST210z) which
contains many examples of a particular Rashi technique and
includes the example presented in the third column

- The third column gives a lightning summary of the Rashi
with particular emphasis on the Rashi rule used. Thus
if all you see in the 3rd column is
------------------------------------
Aaron BLESSED=THE PRIESTLY BLESSING
------------------------------------
This means that
-- the verse states that Aaron BLESSED
-- but an OTHER VERSE indicates which BLESSING
Aaron gave (He gave the Priestly Blessing)

If the reader is now curious (s)he can review LIST210z
which shows many other examples of the OTHER VERSE method.

*1 Rashi points out 3 equally possible meanings
- Youngest son (Son born while father  was ELDERLY)
- Wisest son (ELDER=WISDOM)
- Son who resembles father (despite old age he still
looks like son)

*2 This is an example of a DOUBLE METONOMY
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder

*3 NOON is the midpoint between EVE and DAWN. Hence
NOON is the BETWEEN THE EVES.

*4 The context is the proposed marriage of 15 year old
Rivkah to Isaac from another country. The offer had
been made by the servant of Abraham to Rivkahs family

The Biblical text states: Let us(her parents)
ASK HER MOUTH

This is the ONLY time in the Bible that this
phrase occurs(The verb ASK occurs frequently).
Apparently this phrase means
- Lets DISCUSS or LETS GET AN OPINION*10
Such an interpretation is appropriate for a marriage
decision

*5 FIND-GRACE can equally mean I WISH YOU WELL or
YOU WERE WISHED WELL. Rashi points out that GRACE
by itself has this same connotation (Without the
full phrase FIND GRACE). See LIST854g for further
details

*6 Tzade-Lamed-Ayin means SIDE (and hence can refer
to the RIBS). Thus Ex30-04 speaks about the SIDE
OF SIDES--that is the CORNER.

*7 Actually the idiom consists of two parts
- SQUEEZE the blood
- use of the passive (Blood is SQUEEZED)
Hence the idea that the slaughtered animal is
pushed against the altar wall until the blood
oozes forth.

*8 In other words the WHITE PATCHES on the skin
appear to be a DEEP WOUND (rather than a superficial
skin discoloring) *11

*9 The Bible uses a variety of phrases to indicate
lotteries such as
- SHOOT A LOT Jo18-06
- THROW A LOT Jo18-08
- RAISE A LOT Jo18-11
- PLACE A LOT Lv16-08
- CAST A LOT Is34-17 *12

*10 Hence the Rashi on Gn24-57b: The Biblical text
states that Rivkah responded: I WILL GO.

But Rashi, surprisingly states: I WILL GO WHETHER
YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Why did Rashi read such an emphasis into the simple
question and answer
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------

The answer is that the Bible says
------------------------------------------
PARENTS: We will DISCUSS THE MATTER with her;
get her opinion
PARENTS: Rivkah, Will you go with this man
RIVKAH: I will go.
------------------------------------------

Thus the context shows that Rivkah was not
INTERESTED IN A DISCUSSION--she had already
made up her mind

*11 Rashi appears to say the following
---------------------------------------
ALL WHITE appears deep; like the SUNLIT
part appears deeper than the SHADE
---------------------------------------

But the sunlit part does NOT appear deeper than
shade. Hence we interpret this Rashi as follows

--------------------------------------------
[The skin whiteness is not speckled but]
ALL WHITE; [it appears] deep like a BURN
appears deeper than just on SURFACE OF SKIN
---------------------------------------------

By comparing the capped words in these two
interpretations of Rashi we infer that we interpret
- ChaMMaH as meaning BURN vs SUNLIT
- SHADE as referring to non-burnt skin (vs shade)
We also interpret
-- [The skin is] ALL WHITE (not speckled); It appears...
vs
-- ALL WHITE APPEARS DEEP
(This is a change in punctuation)

*12 Superficially these phrases seem to be the same
However Rashi on Lv16-08 states that PLACE A LOT
means CASTING A LOT and PLACING the WINNING/LOSING
TICKETS on the winners/losers.

*1 This is the same phrase in both verses

*2 The contrast seems to be SPRINKLE SEVEN vs SPRINKLE
ONCE

*3 The contrast seems to be SPRINKLE ON TOP vs ON BOTTOM

*10 We have reversed the verse order for purposes
of illustrating the alignment

*1 From the parallel paragraphs Rashi infers that
BOTH the OX of the HIGH PRIEST as well as the
GOAT of the NATION had an identical blood
ceremony: ONCE on TOP and SEVEN on BOTTOM

*1 Notice how their are THREE paragraph procedures
interwoven with each other. Together they say that
- an OX for the HIGH PRIEST will be offered
- a GOAT for the NATION will be offered
- The blood of both the OX and GOAT is treated
the same way

*2 The blood is sprinkled ONCE ON TOP and
SEVEN on BOTTOM

*1 Rashis exact language is as follows
-------------------------------------------------
The NO THEFT prohibitgion in Lv19 occurs in a context
and paragraph of MONETARY LAWS while the NO THEFT in
Ex20 occurs in a context of CAPITAL CRIMES. Hence the
NO THEFT in Ex20 is interpreted (because of context)
to refer to KIDNAPPING (A capital crime of  theft)
--------------------------------------------------

To analyze this Rashi we follow the Kesef Mishneh and
Mishneh LeMelech commentary to Rambam Laws of Theft 1:1

It is pointed out that CAPITAL CRIMES do exist in
Lv19 (For example Lv19-16: Protect peoples lives;
similarly  Lv19-12 prohibits OATHS which can have
capital implications).

On the other side, Ex20-12 only asks to HONOR PARENTS
While there IS a capital crime if you CURSE your parents
most violations of HONORING PARENTS dont carry a death
penalty.

Hence it  would be shallow to interpret Rashi as claiming
that ALL of Lv19 is MONETARY and ALL of Ex20 is CAPITAL

The deep and mature way to analyze these two chapters is
as follows:
- The PREDOMINANT MOOD of Lv19 is monetary--most of  the
laws: charity to poor, theft, witholding, rebuke, helping
peoples lives are monetary in nature.

- By contrast, the PREDOMINANT MOOD of Ex20 is CAPITAL --
most of the laws: idolatry, Sabbath, murder, adultery
have a capital COMPONENT (Some aspect which carries a
death penalty).

Hence the proper way to interpret the NO THEFT prohibitions
in these two chapters is as follows:
- NO THEFT in Lv19 refers ONLY to monetary theft
- NO THEFT in Ex20 refers to ALL TYPES OF THEFT--both
monetary and kidnapping.
