SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from
- the ALIGNMENT,
- that is, the word by word comparison,
of almost identical 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 between the
almost similar verses (or verse phrases) 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 1: Lv23-12a
-------------------
There was a daily offering of lambs in the morning
and evening. Many other lamb offerings were made
during the holidays. In most cases the Bible says
that these offerings are
- - - - - - - - - - - -
BESIDES THE DAILY OFFERINGS
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Rashi extends this idea to the Omer offering.
Here are selected verses
-----------------------------------------------------
Verse Occasion Offer Besides the daily offering
-------- --------- ------- --------------------------
Nu28-10 Sabbath a lamb BESIDES the daily offering
Nu28-15a New Moon he goat BESIDES the daily offering
Nu28-23 Passover 7 lambs BESIDES the daily offering
Nu28-31 Shavuorth 7 lambs BESIDES the daily offering
Lv23-12a Omer Lamb
--------------------------------------------------
Hence the Rashi on Lv23-12a
----------------------------------------
Offer a lamb on the day you bring the omer
BESIDES the daily offering
----------------------------------------
Rashi was inspired to this idea by the
ALIGNED verses.
This explanation of Rashi is due to
the SifThai Chachamim commentary on
Rashi.
LIST314m below summarizes this argument.
EXAMPLE 2: Lv23-13a Lv23-13b Lv23-13c
-------------------------------------
Every offering had a LIBATION which
accompanied that offering. The libation
consisted of oil, flour and wine.
By ALIGNING the Omer libations vs
ordinary libations we arrive at
several Rashi comments
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lv23-13 Its libation 2TENTHS flour, oil mixed, 1FOURTH wine
Lv15-04:05 Offer MINCHA 1TENTH flour, 1FOURTH oil,1FOURTH wine
Differs *1 *2 *4 *3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the ALIGNED comparisons gives rise to a Rashi comment
---------------------------------------------------------
(*1) ITS LIBATION refers to the ACCOMPANYING Minchah
(*2) The OMER FLOUR amount is doubled (2 Tenths vs 1 tenth)
(*3) Even though the Flour is doubled, the WINE amount is same
(*4) Even though the oil is unspecified,the OIL amount is same
---------------------------------------------------------
This is an peachy example of an ALIGNMENT Rashi

Verse Occasion Offer Besides the daily offering
========== ========= ======= ===================================
VERSE WHICH SIN SIN OFFERING #1 SIN OFFERING #2
========== ================== =============== ==================
Nu15-27b Idolatry*1 Female Goat -----------*2
Lv04-27:32 Other capital sins Female Goat Female Lamb
NOTES
-----
*1 Nu15-24:27 explicitly identifies the sin requiring the
sin offering as BLASPHEMY which includes BLASPHEMY
and IDOLATRY*10
*2 Hence the Rashi comment
- for Idolatry ONLY a FEMALE GOAT can be brought
- for other capital sins EITHER a GOAT or LAMB
can be offered
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------
*10 Technically there is no death penalty for verbal crimes
Hence BLASPHEMY itself is not punished with death by court

Nu28-10 Sabbath a lamb BESIDES the daily offering
Nu28-15a New Moon he goat BESIDES the daily offering
Nu28-23 Passover 7 lambs BESIDES the daily offering

Lv23-12a Omer Lamb
Differs *1 *1 *2
NOTES
-----
*1 Each holiday had various offerings commanded.
These offerings were BESIDES and in ADDITION
to the DAILY OFFERING.
*2 Hence the Rashi on Lv23-12a
----------------------------------------
Offer a lamb on the day you bring the omer
BESIDES the daily offering
----------------------------------------
Rashi was inspired to this idea by the
ALIGNED verses which show this BESIDES
clause to be the general trend.
This explanation of Rashi is due to
the SifThai Chachamim commentary on
Rashi.
