VERSE: Lv10-02a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv10-02a Lv10-03d


==================== Lv10-02a ===================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain
Grammar the same way modern textbooks do.
One class of grammar rules deal with
style--eg how paragraphs should be organized.

Rashi knew 4 methods of connecting consecutive
paragraphs
- CAUSE
- ENABLEMENT
- CONTRAST
- UNIFYING THEME

EXAMPLE 1 Lv10-02a
-------------------
-Lv10-01:07 deals with the death of Aarons sons
-Lv10-08:11 prohibits serving-priests from wine

Rashi sees these two chapters as connected
by CAUSE---a priest who serves while drinking
wine will end up violating Gods will and be
subject to a death penalty

EXAMPLE 2 Lv10-02a
------------------
Similarly for the 2 clauses in Lv10-01:02
- Aarons sons offered a non-commanded fire
- Aarons sons died by fire from heaven

Rashi sees these two chapters as connected by
CAUSE---a priest who offers non-allowed
sacrifices will get the death penalty at the
hands of heaven *1

EXAMPLE 3 Lv10-03d
------------------
Lv10-03d states that the
- Death of Righteous LEADS TO
- Fear of God by masses
Rashi explains the causal connection--the masses
assume that if God punishes even the righteous
this way how much more so will he punish ordinary
people

RASHI WORKBOOK PRINCIPLE #9
SEE BELOW                LIST061a
A list of paragraphs     having CAUSAL connection

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi cites 2 opinions about the death
   of Aarons children
   - it was caused by wine
   - it was caused by non-allowed sacrifices
   My own opinion is that Rashi was not
   stating contrasting but rather
   complementary opinions

   That is
   - the sons of Aaron drank wine
   - and they got drunk
   - and they said it was ok to offer
     non-allowed sacrifices
   And this lead to their death at the
   hands of heaven.

   This approach---looking at 2 opinions as
   complementary vs conflicting is fundamental
   to proper study of Rashi
=================================================

================= LIST061a ================================

The following list contains consecutive chapters
related by cause(Either the 1st chapter causes
the 2nd chapter or the 2nd chapter causes the
1st chapter)

For further examples see the CP (Consecutive
chapter) series at http://www.RashiYomi.com/calendar1.htm
The Consecutive Chapter series was given in July 2000
===========================================================
VERSE    TOPIC IN 1st CHAPTER  TOPIC IN 2nd CHAPTER
======== ===================== ============================
Nu06-02a Adulterous wife rite  Nazaarite from wine*1
Gn38-01a Brothers sell Joseph  Judah leaves brothers*1
Gn23-03c Abraham offers Isaac  Sarah dies*1
Gn02-20a Adam Eve are Naked    Snake gives Eve Apple*2
Lv10-02a Non-allowed sac       Death of Aarons sons*3
Lv10-02a Death of Aarons sons  No wine to serving priest*3
Lv10-03d Death of Righteous    God honored*4

NOTES
-----
*1 Thus "whoever see the humiliating Adulterous wife rite"
   will be so shocked that he will abstain from wine

   Similarly "Judah advised his brothers to sell Joseph"
   and so when they regretted it they blaimed him and he
   had to "separate from them."

   Similarly "Sarah died" from the shock that "Abraham
   offered Isaac."

*2 In other words because the snake saw Adam and Eve naked
   therefore he became Jealous and wanted Adam killed so
   he could marry Eve.

   ALthough this sounds a bit wild there is strong supporting
   evidence. Gn04-01 uses the past perfect form
        "And Adam HAD BEEN FAMILIAR with his wife & they had
        a child"
   So the sequence of chapters is
        "Adam was lonely"
        "God makes Eve"
        "Adam and Eve are naked"
        ------------------------"Snake tempts Eve"
        "Adam has a child with Eve"
   Thus the sequence of chapters (Naked--->child) is
   clearly interrupted by the Snake story.

*3 As explained above Rashi sees these two views as
   complementary
   - First they drank wine and got drunk
   - While drunk they thought it permissable to offer
     sacrifices which should not be offered
   Hence they died for both crimes

*4 Rashi explains the Causal connection
   - when the masses see that God EVEN kills the righteous
     for sins
   - then they are aware how they must also observe
     Gods commandments
   - This leads to more honor for God
