There are three basic techniques of Rashi in these verses. CROSS REFERENCES THAT CONFIRM ============================= One basic technique of Rashi in these verses is to >CONFIRM BIBLICAL CROSS REFERENCE<. Thus the Bible might say >I GOD PROMISE YOU X AS I HAVE SAID< and Rashi will then indicate where God has said this. CROSS REFERENCES THAT CLARIFY ============================= A Second basic technique of Rashi in these verses is to >CLARIFY MEANING IN ONE VERSE BY AN OTHER VERSE<. CROSS REFERENCES THAT DEFINE ============================ A third technique is where the Bible explicitly says >DO PROCEDURE X THE SAME WAY I TOLD YOU TO DO PROCEDURE Y< REFERENCES ========== Material in this module comes from http://www.rashiyomi.com/ov.htm TODAYS UNIT =========== In todays unit we show the POWER of the method of OTHER VERSES. Most people would interpret Rashi using complicated lists. Instead a brilliancy of the Malbim shows Rashi to be simply based on an OTHER verse. #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* EXAMPLE 21: Lv04-24a ========== Lv04-24 says >Slaughter this sin offering IN THE SAME PLACE that you slaughter ELEVATION OFFERINGS< Thus capped phrase >IN THE SAME PLACE THAT YOU SLAUGHTER ELEVATION OFFERINGS< clearly refers to Lv01-11 where it says Lv01-11 >And you shall slaughter it(the burnt offering) in the NORTHERN SIDE OF THE ALTAR< EXAMPLE 22: Lv01-05a ========== On the verse Lv01-05a >And he shall slaughter the offering< Rashi says >The slaughtering can be done even by a non priest; while the rest of the sacrificial procedures must be done by priests< At first glance it seems as if Rashi is simply >REPORTING< the law; the law does not seem to be >DERIVED< from the verse. A complicated derivation from the verse itself does exist (and is presented below in Footnote *1). It however was the Malbim who brilliantly and simply derived Rashi from an OTHER VERSE. Indeed, it explicitly says in 2Chro30-17 that >The Levites were in charge for slaughtering the pascal lambs< and in Ez44-11 that >They (the Levites) are in charge of slaughtering sacrifices and elevation offerings for the nation< Thus the preferred methodology to be used here is the derivation from the OTHER VERSE. -------------------------FOOTNOTES--------------------- *1 The traditional derivation of the Rashi Lv01-05a uses the {LIST} of verb-subjects in Lv01. Compare {LIST} Analysis of Verb-Subjects in Lv01 demonstrating that priests are only required from the activity of BRINGING (ie RECEIVING) the blood in a temple vessel But activities prior (such as SLAUGHTERING) may be done by non priests. As can be seen this derivation is more complicated than the simple derivation of the MALBIM from OTHER VERSES ======================================================= VERSE SUBJECT ACTIVITY (CAPPED) ======= ======= =================================== Lv01-03 he shall offer an unblemished mail he shall bring it near to the temple Lv01-04 he shall LEAN on the head of the animal Lv01-05 he shall SLAUGHTER the animal Priests shall BRING the blood near *a they shall THROW the blood {END OF LIST} NOTES ===== *a So it is clear that only from the activity of BRINGING (ie RECEIVING) the blood is a PRIEST required. #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
