VERSE: Lv14-23a

===================== Lv14-23a ================================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently infers conclusions from the OVERALL
PARAGRAPH structure and its development style

EXAMPLE Lv14
------------
- TOPIC: LEPER PURIFICATION CEREMONY

- Lv14-01:20 LAMB VERSION:
------ Day 1: Take Cedar, hyssop...
------ Day 7: Shave whole body
------ Day 8: Offer LAMB sacrifices

- Lv14-21:32 BIRD VERSION
------ Day 1: Not mentioned explicitly in text
------ Day 7: Not mentioned explicitly in text
------ Day 8: Offer BIRD sacrifices

Thus the parallel structure makes it clear that
BOTH the bird and lamb version of the leper purification
ceremony have identical procedures on the 1st and 7th
day and offer their respective sacrifices on the 8th day.
In particular we infer that the Torah was silent about
the 1st and 7th day in the Bird version because it is
identical to the 1st and 7th day in the lamb version.

In this case the inferences are based on PARAGRAPH
STRUCTURE.

Day 8  Offer Lamb or Bird      Lv14-10:20      Lv14-23:32

NOTES
-----
*1 From the PARALLEL paragraph construction we infer that
   BOTH the LAMB and BIRD leper purification ceremony had
   - the Shaving procedure on the 7th day
   - the Hyssop,Cedar, Worm-wool procedure on the 1st day

   The Bible only dealt with the fact that different animals
   are brought (LAMB vs BIRD) but on the same 8th day

   Hence, here, we have an example of inference from
   overall paragraph structure
