VERSE: Lv08-12a

======================== 2 VERSES=2 STAGES ======================

THE RASHI & TEXT
----------------
    Our Rashi edition of Lv08-12a has only ONE INTRODUCTORY
    word THEY POURED. It reads as follows
    -------------------------------------------------------
    THEY POURED: (Rashi) Annointed; Moses would pour oil
    on Aarons head and then annoint the oil from his eyebrows
    -------------------------------------------------------

    I however would suggest WITHOUT adding words to Rashi,that
    there should be TWO INTRODUCTORY WORDS: POURED/ANNOINTED

    Here is the verse and Rashi as I read it

    VERSE: Lv08-12a
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Moses took the annointing oil and POURED it on Aaron
    and ANNOINTED him to sanctify him
    ------------------------------------------------------

    RASHI
    ------------------------------------------------------
    POURED/ANNOINTED: Moses FIRST poured oil on Aarons
    head. Moses then smeared/annointed the oil from Aarons
    eyebrows to the rest of him
    ------------------------------------------------------

    In other words Rashi was using the method of Rabbi
    Ishmael, resolving contradictory verses: See URL
    http://www.Rashiyomi.Com/ri-14.htm

    We there outline 5 methods by which contradictory
    verses can be resolved. Here Rashi shows that the
    POURING and ANNOINTING were TWO STAGES of the same
    PROCEDURE--

    FIRST Moses POURED oil on AAron and
    2nd, THEN Moses SMEARED/ANNOINTED this oil down his face

    Thus Rashi is not trying to say that POUR means
    ANNOINT. Rather Rashi is commenting on why the
    verse has 2 verbs: POUR / ANNOINT. (It has them
    because they are two STAGES of the same procedure)

THE LIST
--------
Here is a list of verse pairs which use the Rabbi
Ishmael method of contradictory verses.
