This rule demands seeing details as examples which should be generalized. EXAMPLE: Dt25-04 Dont muzzle an OX while it is THRESHING RASHI: Dont muzzle ANY ANIMAL while it is WORKING We therefore spent 3 issues on Biblical examples which are generalized. We now spend 3 issues on Biblical examples that are specific and should not be generalized. We will then be able to summarize these 6 issues as well as all the examples on Climax into a set of rules which deal with how Biblical EXAMPLES should be treated. Along the way we will clarify and classify the many CLIMAX examples that we have done. In these 3 issues we deal with Biblical EXAMPLES which should be specific #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# VERSE: Ex01-11b Lv03-09a Lv01-02c ---------------------------------------------------------------- In the following verses Rashi connects the 2 parts of the sentence by inserting the word "THAT IS" thereby indicating that ONLY these examples are governed by the law ---------------------------------------------------------------- (82) Ex01-11b The Egyptians placed TAXES on the Jews...: (THAT IS) They built cities*2 RASHI: Thus the taxes consisted of labor to build cities (82) Lv03-09a Offer Its "fat"--THAT IS The tail (84) Lv01-02c If you offer sacrifices then offer them from the Animals--THAT IS, from Cattle and sheep RASHI: Thus the only animals that can be offered for sacrifices are cattle and sheep #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
