VERSE: Nu36-08b

RASHIS COVERED: Nu36-08b Nu35-20a Nu35-23a

===================== Nu36-08b ==================================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment
of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these
almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences.or
even meaning.

EXAMPLE Nu36-08b SALE vs INHERITANCE in Jubillee
------------------------------------------------
Lv25-13 states that SOLD land reverts to original owner in YOVEL
Nu36-08b states that INHERITED land never reverts back in YOVEL

EXAMPLE Nu35-20:21 vs Nu35-22:23
--------------------------------
Nu35-20:21 speaks about WILLFUL murder. The Bible describes
how a murderer might PUSH/THROW/HIT with ENMITY/HATRED/AMBUSH

Nu35-22:23 speaks about NEGLIGENT murder. The Bible describes
how a negligent murderer might PUSH/THROW/---- without
ENMITY/HATRED/AMBUSH/BEING AN ENEMY

An alignment of these 2 verses shows that
- they both discuss murder by PUSH/THROW/HITTING
- a crucial issue is whether there was ENMITY/HATRED/AMBUSH

By aligning these verses we gain unifying insight into
the common words used; we also infer how to FILL IN the
verses.

===================== LIST343h =================================
List of words meaning    SMITING/HATRED in Nu34-20:23
================================================================
Nu35-20:21 Verb Nu35-22:23 Verb Nu-20:21(Adj) 22:23 (Adjective)
=============== =============== ============= ==================
PUSH            PUSH            S-N-H         A-Y-Vah
THROW           THROW           Tz-D-Y-H      Tz-D-Y-H
SMITE           -----           A-Y-Vah       Not his ENEMY(OYv)
*1              *2              *3            *3

NOTES
-----
*1 The Bible in Nu35-20:21 describes WILLFUL murder and uses
   the verbs PUSH WITH HATRED, THROW WITH HATRED, SMITE WITH
   HATRED

*2 The Bible in Nu35-22:23 describes NEGLIGENT murder
   and uses the verbs PUSH/THROW. Although it does not
   use the verb TO SMITE we can see thru the alignment
   that it is intended (Rashi Nu35-23a)*10

*3 A comparison of the adjectives in both columns shows some
   criss-crossing (eg AYVAH is used with PUSH vs SMITE).

   The adjectives used S-N-H, A-Y-Vah Tz-D-Y-H all seem to
   denote WILLFUL HATRED. This is consistent with the explicit
   phrase in Nu35-23...HE WAS NOT HIS ENEMY as well as with
   the fact that Tz-D-Y-H normally denotes HUNTING (Cf the
   English HUNTING HIM DOWN to denote malicious hatred)

   In summary: The words used mean HATRED(Rashi:Nu35-20a)

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

*10 The full text is as follows
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    - If he PUSHED him -------------------- without HATRED or
    - If he THREW on him ------------------ without AMBUSH or
    - [If he------------] a lethal stone--- he wasnt his ENEMY
    ----------------------------------------------------------

   Clearly the intent of the last phrase is IF HE HIT HIM WITH
   A LETHAL STONE.

   This obvious ellipsis is consistent with the verbs used
   in the previous verses describing willful murder:PUSH, THROW
   HIT (Rashi Nu35-23a)

List of verses with      Return of land to owner in Jubillee

VERSE    TOPIC       Land stays with WHO
======== =========== =============== =======================
Lv25-13  Sale        Land reverts to original owner
Nu36-08b Inheritance Land stays with buyer*1

NOTES
-----
*1 The comparison is not intrinsically needed
   to understand the text. Rather...the comparison
   enhances the argument presented
   ---------------------------------------------
   If the women of the tribe marry out of the
   tribe then their fathers
   estate, when inherited, will leave the tribe
   AND ALSO NOT COME BACK EVEN IN JUBILEE
