This series is devoted to the 2 dozen Rashis that deal
with the Rabbi Ishmael rule of
        >two complementary verses




It turns out there are 5 ways that Rabbi Ishmael deals with
        >two complementary verses



In part 1 we showed the method of
        >2 verses = 2 ASPECTS of the same entity
Thus
        >ISRAEL sent a delegation to Edom
        >MOSES sent a delegation to Edom
perceive
        >MOSES as the representative of Israel




A reader completing the reading of this dozen-example-module
will have minimum proficiency in appreciating how this rule
of Rabbi Ishmael works (If this module works out we will
try and develop modules for the other 12 principles).

In this issue we continue reviewing examples where
        >2 contradictory verses determine BROAD vs NARROW meaning

EXAMPLE 9
---------
v3-7-9 says that a Minchah temple sacrifice belongs

        >to THE PRIESTS who offered it

But the very next verse, v3-7-10 says it belongs

        >to ALL THE PRIESTS

So Rashi Is Simple---

        >"THE PRIEST WHO OFFERED IT"

is interpreted BROADLY to mean

        >the DIVISION of the PRIEST who offered it

(Priests were divided into 24 DIVISIONS, each one serving 1-2
weeks a year in a rotational schedule---the DIVISION working
offered all sacrifices during its rotation.  Thus according
to these two verses, if any priest in a division offered
a minchah offering then ALL the priests in the division
shared in the offering).
