SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi at times will organize a collection of verses for purposes of making either numerical or geometrical inferences. We call this the Rashi rule of SPREADSHEETS. EXAMPLE: HOLLOW BOARDED ALTAR ----------------------------- Ex38-07 speaks about the construction of the altar. We are told to - make the altar from BOARDS - make the altar HOLLOW The exact Biblical text is --------------------------------- Make it[the altar] HOLLOW BOARDED --------------------------------- Rashi comments ------------------------------------------------ The Bible here is describing a GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION The boards are used to create a 4 sided box which is consequently empty in the middle ------------------------------------------------ LIST690a below presents a collection of Rashis using spreadsheets for either algebraic or geometric constructions | ||

*1 Many people are familiar with the concept of the FORMULA PLUG IN. That is a problem is solved by a formula which you plug into. But some problems intrinsically cannot (initally) be solved by a formula. Instead you have to formulate the problem algebraically and solve;only then do you have the formula. In other words these problems are solved by the EQUATION vs the FORMULA Thus the statement that the eldest gets double suggests the following model. - Suppose the are B brothers - Suppose 1 of them is eldest - The Fathers total assets are T (Total) - Let A be the amount each brother inherits We have no formula for A - Then each of the B-1 brothers obtains A - The eldest obtains double, 2A. - Together this exhausts the Fathers estate, T Hence we have (B-1)A + 2A = (B+1)A = T This gives rise to the formula A = T / (B+1) An example is a father with 100,000 and 4 children - T=100,000 - B=4 - So each child take T/(B+1) = 100000/5 = 20,000 - Eldest takes 2*20000=40000 - Other 3 take 20000 - Total distribution =3*20000+40000=100000 See Rambam Inheritance Chapter 2 | ||
