VERSE: Nu20-15b

========================= Nu20-15b =======================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The traditional approach to Rashi emphasizes
- word meaning
- grammar
- dealing with problems and anomalies such
as extra words.

In this list we have also advocated skillful use of
FORMATTING style. For example we suggest that repeated
keywords are the modern equivalant of BULLETS. A
repeated Keyword is heard the same way a modern
reader hears a list of bullets.

We call this the Rashi rule of BULLETS with the Rashi
subrule of KEYWORDS AS BULLETS

EXAMPLE - Nu20-15b
------------------
The Biblical text states as follows
----------------------------------------------------------
The Egyptians were bad
- TO us
- TO our fathers
----------------------------------------------------------

Here the KEYWORD, TO, acts as a bullet. Rashi comments
-----------------------------------------------------------
Just as
- we suffered in Egypt, so too
- out fathers suffered on their death bed since
they prophetically knew of the suffering that would
happen to us.
-----------------------------------------------------------

LIST120b summarizes this argument.

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------------

*10 Rashi's actual language is
    ------------------------------------------------
    When the children are tortured the Fathers
    suffer in the grave
    ------------------------------------------------

    Rashi of course is using the Aggadic techniqe
    of Exaggeration. A more serious approach is to
    simply say that
    ----------------------------------------
    The father's suffer when the children suffer.
    This applies even if the children are not
    currently suffering and the parents know about
    the suffering through prophecy
