VERSE: Nu35-30b

RASHIS COVERED: Nu35-30b Nu35-32a

======================== Nu35-30b ==============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Some Rashi comments deal with FORMATTING.
Modern authors FORMAT using such techniques as
BULLETS, PARAGRAPHING, BOLD, ITALICS and UNDERLINE.
The Biblical Author achieved these effects but thru
different means.

For example a modern author might hilight distinct
items using BULLETS. The Biblical Author hilights
distinct items using REPEATING KEYWORDS.

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

Rashi could also infer from the general PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE
(without any keywords). We call this the the Rashi rule of
FORMATTING with the Rashi subrule of PARAGRAPHS.

In this posting Rashi makes inferences from the general
paragraph structure.

EXAMPLE Nu35-30b Nu35-32a
--------------------------
Nu35 has the following STRUCTURE
---------------------------------------------------
Nu35-09:15 NEGLIGENT MURDER: Refuge cities
Nu35-16:21 WILLFUL MURDER: Death Penalty
Nu35-22:28 NEGLIGENT MURDER: Trial & refuge city
Nu35-29    Eternal Laws
----------------------------------------------------
Nu35-30:31 WILLFUL MURDER:   Witnesses
Nu35-30:31 WILLFUL MURDER:   no monetary substitution
Nu35-32    NEGLIGENT MURDER: No monetary substitution
Nu35-33:34 Do not polute land
----------------------------------------------------

The paragraph structure is rather unusual since there
are constant zig zags between NEGLIGENT and WILLFUL murder.

Rashi makes two comments
- The WITNESSES mentioned in Nu35-30:31 are to ensure
  WILLFUL vs NEGLIGENT (The other item mentioned
  by Rashi, witness warning, is required to ensure
  that the person did not momentarily lapse into
  forgetfullness)

- The contrast of Nu35-32 vs Nu35-33:34 emphasizes that
  bribes or substitute monetary punishment are not effective
  for EITHER WILLFUL or NEGLIGENT murder.

Nu35-33:34 Do not polute land

NOTES
-----
*1 Based on the PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE Rashi emphasizes
   ------------------------------------------
   Witnesses must make certain the act of murder
   was WILLFUL vs NEGLIGENT. Additional witness
   requirements--such as warning--is also to ensure
   no momentary lapse of willfulness
   ------------------------------------------

*2 Notice the double prohibition of MONETARY SUBSTITUTION
   for punishment in Nu35-30:31 and Nu35-32. Rashi
   infers from this structure that monetary substitution
   is prohibited both
   - for WILLFUL murder
   - for NEGLIGENT murder (you cannot pay an exhorbitant
   sum and escape the refuge cities)
