============ ALIGNMENT OF TWO CHAPTERS ON NESACHIM ==============
Both Nu28-05:12 and Nu15-04:07 mention certain FLOUR-OIL
offerings called the MINCHAHS of the OFFERING.
We use here the Rashi rule of ALIGNMENT where we take two
chapters and align them word by word. As we align the
chapters we expose ourselves to minute differences in
phrases.
The alignment of the two chapters is performed in the
the tables below which uncovers 11 differences. Some
of these differences are commented by Rashi while the
explanation of other differences remains unknown.
Here is a brief summary based on the footnotes
----------------------------------------------------------
#1 Notice how OFFERING FLOUR is mentioned in Nu15-04 while
LIBATING WINE is mentioned in Nu28. Hence we infer that
the flour is OFFERED while the WINE is POURED on the
altar
On Nu28-05a as well as Nu28-12a Rashi explicitly
explains that he is comparing the two chapters.
On Nu28-07b Rashi explains that WINE is LIBATED
in contrast to FLOUR which is OFFERED.
#2 Footnote #2 occurs three times and exposes differences
in measurements. As can be seen the alignment of the
two chapters clarifies that the
--the unspecified word TENTH in Nu28-05 refers to a
tenth of an Eyphah (Nu15-04).
--the unspecified word OIL in Nu28-12 links to
half a hin of oil in Nu15-09
--the unspecified word LIBATION in Nu28-07 refers to
WINE libations in Nu15-05
Thus on Nu28-07a Rashi simply says on the Biblical
word LIBATION, WINE thereby completing the cross
reference to Nu15.
#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8
I dont know of a reason for these differences.
For example why does Nu28-05 speak about ONE tenth while
Nu15-04 speaks about A tenth. Similarly why is the
order reversed in Nu28-12 vs Nu15-09: A MINCHAH of
FLOUR vs a A FLOUR MINCHAH.
For convenience we gather all explanations in this
introduction and will refer to it from the footnotes
below.

LIBATE INTOXICATING LIBATIONS
---------------------------------
Rashi explains that the wine should be POTENTIALLY
INTOXICATING wine and not e.g. freshly pressed grapes
which have not yet fermented that much(Nu28-07c) This
again can be seen as relying on alignment:
--------------------------------------------
Nu28-07 uses the word INTOXICATING
Nu15-05 uses the word WINE
--------------------------------------------
These two words complement each other and we demand
wine PROVIDED it is potentially INTOXICATING.
