VERSE: Lv04-17a

==================== COMMUNITY most important ==================

BACKGROUND
----------
Lv04 discusses the various sin offerings brought
- by an INDIVIDUAL who sins
- a KING who sins
- a PRIEST who sins
- a CONGRESS/Community who sins

Because many of the paragraphs are similar, Rashi frequently
uses the powerful alignment method to infer legal and moral
nuances


THE TOPIC
---------
Both the PRIEST and COMMUNAL sin offering speak about sprinkling
blood towards the PAROCETH curtain. However one paragraph speaks
about the HOLY Paroceth curtain while one paragraph omits this
word

THE VERSES-THE LIST
-------------------
The two verses are ALIGNED in the list below

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi infers a moral lesson from here. When the community sins
the temple so to speak loses its HOLINESS. By contrast if the
High Priest sins, it  is not as serious---the TEMPLE is still
HOLY--just one representative needs correction
=================================================================
VERSE   WHO    PHRASE1                           PHRASE2
======= ====== ================================= ================
Lv04-06 Priest Sprinkle blood on the face of the HOLY curtain
Lv04-17 Nation Sprinkle blood on the face of the      curtain
Differ  *1     *2                                *3

NOTES
-----
*1 Lv04-06 speaks about the sin offering of the HIGH PRIEST
   while Lv04-17 speaks about the sin offering of the
   community

*2 These phrases are the same

*3 When ONLY the priest sins, the curtain is still called HOLY
   However when the whole community sins the curtain so to
   speak loses its holiness. The goal of the temple is the
   nation
