VERSE: Lv13-03c

RASHIS COVERED: Lv13-03c Lv14-36a

======================== Lv13-03c ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries
and noting patterns. The example today is a peach of an
example showing how deep inferences can be made by broad
but simply formulated database queries.

EXAMPLE-Lv13-03c Lv14-36a
-------------------------
We make a query of BEING IN A STATE OF UNCLEANLINESS
We see 4 formulations
- IT IS UNCLEAN (Adjective form)
- You will BECOME UNCLEAN (Active Mode)
- You can BECOME UNCLEAN (Reflexive mode)

However by contrast we find throuhgout the leprosy laws
- The priest shall UNCLEAN IT (Causative mode)

Here we have coined the term TO UNCLEAN...to make unclean.

From this contrast Rashi infers
- other uncleanlinesses are OBJECTIVE (eg a pig is unclean)
- Leprosy uncleanliness must be DECLARED (If the priest
  declares the person unclean he becomes unclean; otherwise
  even though he has all the leprosy signs he is not yet
  UNCLEAN till the Priest declares it)

Lv11-04  Adjective      IT IS UNCLEAN                  Kashruth
Lv11-29  Adjective      These are UNCLEAN...           The Dead

Lv11-24  Reflexive      You can BECOME UNCLEAN by it   The Dead

Lv11-24  Active Mode    BE UNCLEAN TILL EVE            The Dead
Lv11-32  Active Mode    Shall Become UNCLEAN           The Dead
Lv12-04  Active Mode    She shall become UNCLEAN       Birth
------   ---------      --------------------------     --------
Lv13-03c Causative Mode The PRIEST SHALL UNCLEAN IT    Leprosy
Lv13-20  Causative Mode The PRIEST SHALL UNCLEAN IT    Leprosy*1

NOTES
-----
*1 Thus the table is clear
   - Other UNCLEANLINESS is OBJECTIVE--it is a state or reality
   Birth CREATES a state of uncleanliness

   - By contrast, Leprosy uncleanliness must be DECLARED -- the
   leprosy signs by themselves do not confer UNCLEANLINESS until
   a PRIEST formally DECLARES the person UNCLEAN.
