VERSE: Nu35-34b

RASHIS COVERED: Nu35-34b Nu35-34a

========================== Nu35-34b ===========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The FORMATTING rule seeks to explain Rashis based on
the FORMATTING of the Biblical text. FORMATTING techniques
in modern writing include use of bold, italics,underline,
bullets, paragraph indentation and similar items. The Bible
indicated FORMATTING using its own techniques: For example
- the Bible indicates bold,italics, underline thru REPETITION
- the Bible indicates bulleting, thru REPEATING keywords
The Bible can also indicate FORMATTING thru meaning without
any formal structure.


EXAMPLE Nu35-34b Nu35-34a
-------------------------
Nu35-34 states
--------------------------------------------
Don't flatter the land (by overlooking murder)
that you inhabit
which I DWELL IN
Because I am God
DWELLING in the midst of the Jewish people.
-----------------------------------------------------

Notice the REPEATED phrase
---------------------------
I God dwell in Israel
---------------------------

Hence the Rashi comment
-----------------------------------
I, God ALWAYS dwell among the Jews
EVEN when there are sinners among them
-----------------------------------

Rashi continues
-------------------------------------
Thus Nu35-34 states that since I God
am there anyway make sure not to pollute
the land since it is unfitting that I should
dwell in impurity
-------------------------------------

Gn27-03c HUNT me a HUNT                   HUNT from wilds*1

NOTES
------
*1 That is a REAL HUNT (HUNT A HUNT) and eg not buying
   meat if he couldnt immediately find it in the hunt.

*2 THere are two Rashi comments (Nu35-34a, Nu35-34b)
   - From the repetition DWELL DWELL Rashi infers that
     God always DWELLS among the Jews
   - Rashi then explains the verse
   -----------------------------------------------
   Since I always DWELL among the Jews do not cover
   up murder so that I am not forced to dwell in
   impurity
