VERSE: Lv06-07a
RASHIS COVERED: Lv06-07a Lv06-08e
========================= Lv06-07a =======================
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meaning
of words the same way the dictionary explains meaning.
It was shown in http://www.RashiYomi.com/lv26-46a.htm
that the word TORAH basically means PRINCIPLES.
Hence if a BIblical paragraph begins
-- THESE ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF THE MINCHAH OFFERING
we infer that everything in that chapter is a
basic guiding principle or requirement of
ALL MINCHAHS*10
EXAMPLE Lv06-07a
----------------
Taking a fistful of flour and oil applies to all
Minchahs(But in Lv02 this procedure is only
mentioned by SOME Minchahs--hence we need the
generalization to all minchahs)*1
EXAMPLE Lv06-08e
----------------
The sequence of steps:
- FISTING the oil and flour, and then
- taking the Frankincense,
- offering it on the altar
applies to all Minchahs even though it is only
mentioned by some. The reason we know it applies to
ALL minchahs is because this sequence of steps is
mentioned in the chapter of MINCHAH PRINCIPLES*2

List of verses where TORAH means PRINCIPLES
NOTES
-----
*1 Cf The 5 Minchahs mentioned in Lv02. Only
some of them mention the OIL and FLOUR Hence
the OIL-FLOUR was repeated in the MINCHAH
PRINCIPLE chapter so that it applies to
all Minchahs
*2 Cf The 5 Minchahs mentioned in Lv02. The
3 step procedure of FISTFUL, FRANKINCENSE,
OFFERING is not mentioned in all 5. Hence
the FISTFUL-FRANKINCENSE-OFFERING procedure
is repeated in the MINCHAH PRINCIPLE CHAPTER
to emphasize the applicability of this
sequence to all cases.
------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ------------
*10 Our approach differs from the traditional
approach that Rashi is inferring these
laws (that eg oil and flour apply to all
Minchahs) from the EXTRA MENTION of them
a second time.
Our view here is that the inference that
eg flour and oil apply to all Minchahs
comes from the EXPLICIT introduction
that THESE ARE THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES
OF THE MINCHAH indicating that they
apply to all Minchahs.
=================================================
==================== LIST860a ======================
A list of verses where TORAH means PRINCIPLES
(Torah can also be a proper noun referring
to the Bible and it can also mean chapter)
However Rashis point of view is that TORAH
ALWAYS means PRINCIPLES. So when a chapter
begins with TORAH it really means, NOT,
THIS IS THE CHAPTER ON MINCHAH but rather,
THESE ARE THE MINCHAH PRINCIPLES
