VERSE: Lv07-03a
RASHIS COVERED: Lv07-03a Lv07-03b
=================== OFFERING OVERVIEW ===========================
---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE: DOUBLE PARSHAS
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: DOUBLE PARSHAS
---------------------------------------
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of DOUBLE PARSHAS simply means
that SEVERAL Biblical paragraphs deal
with the SAME theme.
By comparing both the similarities
and differences in these paragraphs
we are able to discover new patterns
and make inferences.
We emphasize that the resulting
inference is NOT justified
because of the 1 or 2 extra
words but rather because of the overall
dynamic force of the multiple paragraph
comparison. This is clearly illustrated
in the example below
STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah. The Passover Hagaddah gathers
4 paragraphs dealing with education. Comparison
of these introductory phrases enables us to label
the types of sons in these chapters.
-------------------------------------------------
VERSE TYPE OF SON TEXT OF VERSE
------- ----------- -----------------------------
Ex13-14 SIMPLE SON When your son ASKS a QUESTION
Dt06-20 WISE SON When your son ASKS a QUESTION
Ex12-26 WICKED SON When your son SAYS a QUESTION
Ex13-08 CANT ASK ----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
For example Ex12-26 speaks about SAYING A QUESTION
vs ASKING A QUESTION. This suggests that this son
is CYNICAL and WICKED.
Similarly Ex13-08 describes an ANSWER WITHOUT A
QUESTION. This suggests that this son CANT ASK
or is APATHETIC.
Notice how it is the comparison that justifies
these conclusions. Without the comparison
I would not know that it is peculiar for
the Bible to state an answer without a
question. This illustrates the Rashi method
of DOUBLE PARSHAS.

examples. We plan to eventually update
this with one compact page.
TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
In todays example we compare about a dozen
paragraphs all dealing with OFFERINGS. Some
of these offerings mention offering the FAT
OF ANIMALS while some do not. Some of these
FAT OFFERINGS involve the ALYAH FAT while
some do not. The LIST clearly suggests
the laws and patterns that are applicable.

Lv07-11:35 PEACE THANKYOU *3 ------------------------------
NOTES
-----
*1 The paragraph in question shows that depending on economic
level the offering is brought from either
- sheep
- goat
- birds
- flour
Hence the fat offerings (Which dont apply to birds or
flour are mentioned in Lv07-01:10) (Rashi on Lv07-01a,b)
*2 This offering comes from a Ram as is explained in Nu05-08
*3 Notice how the offerings in chapter 6 recap the offerings
in chapters 1 and 2. Thus
---------------------------------------------------------
UP OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv01 and Lv06
PLEASANT OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv02 and Lv06
PEACE OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv03 and Lv07
SIN OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv04 and Lv06
---------------------------------------------------------
*4 Reviewing the list Rashi explains 3 things(Lv07-01a,b)
- PEACE, SIN and GUILT offerings all offer KIDNEY FAT,....
- Only SHEEP peace and sin offerings offer ALYAH FAT
Hence GUILT offerings (which mostly come from sheep)
offer ALYAH fat
- The KIDNEY FAT is mentioned in Lv03,Lv04 for PEACE/SIN
The KIDNEY FAT is mentioned in Lv06 for GUILT
Rashi explains that
--- The Bible had to list the KIDNEY FAT for GUILT
at least once.
--- Also (it would appear to me) that the KIDNEY FAT
for GUILT could not have been mentioned in Lv05 in the
first statement of offerings since there were four possible
animals for GUILT OFFERINGS (Sheep,goats,birds,flour).
Hence the Bible mentioned it here
