VERSE: Lv22-13a

============================ Lv22-13a ==========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 major methods is to clarify complex
logical, algebraic and geometric comments with examples.
We call this the Rashi method of SPREADSHEETS even though
it equally applies to geometric and logical items

EXAMPLE: Lv22-13a Widowed Priest Daughter=1st married non priest
------------------------------------------------------------
   Rashi (Lv22-13a) clarifies Lv22-13
   with the bracketed material
   --------------------------------------------------
   When the daughter of a priest [WHO FIRST MARRIED
   A NON PRIEST AND THEREFORE IS PROHIBITED FROM
   EATING TERUMAH--WHEN SHE] gets divorced she can
   return and eat Terumah
   --------------------------------------------------

   Here Rashi uses the method of SPREADSHEETS, clarifying
   a logically complex law with examples showing relevance
   Rashi was motivated to so clarify the law because of
   the explicit statement in Nu18-11 that
   ------------------------------------------------------
   ALL RITUALLY CLEAN PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE MAY EAT THESE
   ------------------------------------------------------
   So I already knew that the daughter of
   a priest MAY eat Terumah. LIST690a below summarizes
   several other Rashis clarifying complex verses.

NOTES
-----
*1  Many people are familiar with the concept of the
    FORMULA PLUG IN. That is a problem is solved by a
    formula which you plug into.

    But some problems intrinsically cannot (initally)
    be solved by a formula. Instead you have to
    formulate the problem algebraically and solve;only
    then do you have the formula.

    In other words these problems are solved by
    the EQUATION vs the FORMULA

    Thus the statement that the eldest gets double
    suggests the following model.

    - Suppose the are B brothers
    - Suppose 1 of them is eldest
    - The Fathers total assets are T (Total)

    - Let A be the amount each brother inherits
    We have no formula for A

    - Then each of the B-1 brothers obtains A
    - The eldest obtains double, 2A.
    - Together this exhausts the Fathers estate, T

    Hence we have (B-1)A + 2A = (B+1)A = T

    This gives rise to the formula  A = T / (B+1)

    An example is a father with 100,000 and 4 children
    - T=100,000
    - B=4
    - So each child take T/(B+1) = 100000/5 = 20,000
    - Eldest takes 2*20000=40000
    - Other 3 take 20000
    - Total distribution =3*20000+40000=100000

    See Rambam Inheritance Chapter 2
