VERSE: Nu03-45a

============================== Nu03-45a ========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment
of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these
almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences or
even meaning. We call this the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT

When Rashi identifies two cases from the ALIGNMENT we call
this the Rashi subrule of TWO CASES

When Rashi infers nuances from the variations betweent the
almost similar verses we call this the Rashi subrule of
NUANCES.

When Rashi infers MEANING from the ALIGNMENT of almost
identical phrases we call this the Rashi SUBRULE of MEANING.

EXAMPLE Nu03-45a
------------------
    This is an unusual alignment in that we deal with
    - a paragraph, Nu03-45:51
    - the opening sentence gives an OVERVIEW
    - the overview mentions how LEVITES replace FIRSTBORN
    - in BOTH people and animals
    -
    - the rest of the paragraph gives numerical DETAILS
    - Only details of the PEOPLE replacement are given
    - details of the animal replacement are not given

    Hence the Rashi:
   -----------------------------------------------------------
    - We are given numerical details of the LEVITE replacement
      of the firstborn (22000 Levites vs 22273 1st born). The
      Bible discusses dealing with the 273 extra 1st-born who
      could not be replaced by Levites.

    - We are not given numerical details of the ANIMAL
      replacement.

    We infer that the numbers involved were not close (like
    the 22273 vs 22000) and therefore there was no auxilliary
    procedure and no mention of numbers.
