*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.

*1 This list is courtesy of the RADAK, BOOK OF ROOTS.
We see from this list that the unified meaning is VIRILITY
Since the mature romantic relationship is characterized by
tension therefore this root can also mean STRUGGLE, PAIN,
or COMPLAINTS.

*1 Nu16-32 and Nu16-33 together imply that KORACH AND ALL FOLLOWING
HIM DIED ALIVE BY FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE This contradicts Nu26-11
that the sons of Korach did not die

Note that Psalms 45-49 were written by the SONS OF KORACH
showing that they repented

*2 In other words if one of the high priests sons is
qualified for the position he is chosen. If not
a non-descendant (who is qualified) is taken.

Lv16-32c presents this SON-MERIT rule for priests
Dt17-20c generalizes this SON-MERIT rule for Kings.

This interpretation of the text is further
clarified by the ALIGNMENT method.*11

Some further technicalities are noted in note *12

*10 Here is a simple numerical example
Assume 3 people in Egypt
- Bob
- Dan and David Brothers

Assume
- Bob has 1 child
- Dan has 1 child
- David has 2 children

So GENERATION1(GEN1) has 3 units (Bob,Dan David)
And GEN2 has 4 units (1+1+2)

We now have 3 stages

STAGE 1
-------
Each GEN2 person gets same number of units (Say 2 units)
So Bobs child --2 units
-- Dans child --2 units
-- Davids-------4 units to 2 children

STAGE 2
-------
Now the units are coalesced at the family (GEN1) level
- Bob has 2 units(Since he has one child with 2 units)
- Dan-David has 6 units (Dans child 2 units and Davids 4)

STAGE 3
-------
- Bob gives his 2 units back to his child
- Dan-David give there 6 units equally to children so
-- Dans child receives 3 units
-- Davids 2 children receive 1.5 units each (Total of 3)

Here is a time map

--------------------------------------------------------------
EGYPT(GEN1)    CHILDREN   STAGE1      STAGE2       STAGE3
-------------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------
Bob            1 child    2/8         2/8          2/8 @child
Dan-brother    1 child    2/8         6/8 brothers 3/8 @child
David-brother  2 child    4/8         6/8 Brothers 3/8 @2 child
---------------------------------------------------------------

Although this may seem complicated it fulfills the 2 verses
- The actual exodus people from Egypt inherit
- The descendants determine inheritance

*11 We align Lv21-10 Lv16-32 as follows

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The priest --------------- ...annointed ...trained replace father
The priest who is advanced ...annointed ...trained --------------
*a         *b              *c           *d         *b
-----------------------------------------------------------------

As the double #b clearly shows there are two criteria
- priest is advanced (bigger than his brothers)
- priest replaces father

These conflicting criteria are resolved using
the RabbiIshmael method of 2 STAGES
- if the son is qualified pick him
- if not pick a qualified non-descendant

*12 Interestingly heridatary appointment is mentioned by
- Slaves (Lv25-41)
- Kings (Dt17-20)
- Priests (Dt18-05)
- Levites (1C23-13)

The Bible EXPLICITLY advances a LINEAGE-MERIT duality
for priests (As shown above by the alignment presented
in footnote #11).

We generalize this to Kings (Rashi Dt17-20c).

We do not apply this to slaves since merit is not involved

We also do not generalize this to Levites since
the Bible explicitly states that they replace the
first-born and hence merit is no longer relevant
(A qualified 1st born could NOT function as a
Levite because the Bible states explicitly that
they were replaced (See eg Nu03-40:43)

*1 The land could not be sown in 7th year. Hence the seed of
the 6th year lasted 3 years*10 as follows
- for eating in 6th year from April thru September
(The year began in September---Jewish New year)
- for eating in 7th year all year
- for seeding in 8th year (From September to April)

The whole effect of 6th year seed ceased when the April
harvest was gathered in September (=September of 9th year)

*10 Rashi points out that sometimes the Jubillee would
come out during the 6th-8th year and hence there would
be 4 years dependent on 6th year. Thus Rashi views the
Biblical statement of 3 years dependence on 6th year
as a TYPICAL (But not exhaustive) case. For other
examples of TYPICAL CASES see LIST401a.

*1 These phrases are the same*10

*2 At Mt Sinai Moses gave GENERAL instruction about ALL Holidays
Then JUST BEFORE each holiday Moses REVIEWED laws on that holiday

*10 Actually there is a further subtlety in phrase reversal
as shown below--but we do not review that here
-------------------------------------------
MOSES SPOKE about the holidays TO THE JEWS
MOSES SPOKE TO THE JEWS to do the Passover
-------------------------------------------

*1 The same phrase

*2 So the ALIGNMENT sheds light on MEANING. The phrase
ACCORDING TO LAW means that the converts must 1st CIRCUMCISE
(See *10 for further details)

*10 Actually the phrase ACCORDING TO LAW implies more---for
the whole chapter deals with the fact that those who
observe the MAKEUP Passover (Passover 2) must follow ALL
Passover laws.

Hence BECAUSE OF CONTEXT, we infer from the phrase
ACCORDING TO LAW that
-- the converts must first circumcise
-- ALL Passover laws must be followed by converts
